This step by step project is about a 6×6 deer blinds plans. This article features detailed plans for building a 6×6 deer blind using common materials and tools. The structure is sturdy enough to support several persons and have windows on all side. Make sure you study the related plans, as there are several options to choose from when starting the final assembly. Check out our plans for a 4×8 deer blind, as well.
There are several aspects that any person should take into account before starting the woodworking project. First of all, you need to use weather-resistant lumber, such as cedar, pine or redwood. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the components, if you want to lock them together tightly. In addition, add wood glue to the joints and check if the corners are right-angled. Plan everything from the very beginning, if you want to get a professional result.

Building a deer blind

Building-the-floor-frame-6×6
The first step of the woodworking project is to build the frame of the floor. In order to get the job done in a professional manner, we recommend you to cut the joists out of 2×4 lumber. Cut the components at the right size and smooth the edges with sandpaper.
Drill pilot holes through the perimeter joists and insert 2 1/2″ galvanized screws into the regular joists. Make sure the corners are square and place the joists equally-spaced.

Attaching the floor
The next step of the woodworking project is to attach the plywood sheets over the floor frame. Cut the 3/4″ plywood sheets at the right size and secure the edges with sandpaper.
Top Tip: Make sure the edges are flush and drill pilot holes before inserting the 1 1/4″ screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. Insert the screws along the joists every 8″ and leave no gaps between the sheets.

Building-the-side-wall-frames
Continue the project by building the side walls. In order to get a professional result, we recommend you to cut the component out of 2×4 lumber. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the studs.
Makes sure the corners are square and leave no gaps between the components. Plumb the studs with a spirit level and make sure the plates are horizontal. Frame the windows as in the diagram.

Fitting the side walls
The next step of the outdoor project is to secure the side walls to the floor of the deer blind. Ask a friend to move the walls to the floor and secure them temporarily with braces, after plumbing them with a spirit level.
Top Tip: Drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the joists. Leave no gaps and make sure the walls frames are flush with the floor.

Building-the-front-wall-frame
The next step of the project is to build the front wall of the deer blind. As you can notice in the diagram, we recommend you to build the components out of 2×4 lumber. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the studs.
Make sure the corners are right-angled and leave no gaps between the components. Frame the window for the deer blind and make adjustments if necessary.

Building-the-back-wall-frame
One of the last steps of the framing project is to build the back wall of the deer blind. In order to have access to the hunting blind, we recommend you to frame the door, as described in the diagram.
Work with attention and check if the corners are square. Drill pilot holes through the components before inserting the screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. Leave no gaps between the components.

Assembling the frame of the blind
The next step of the woodworking project is to attach the front and back walls to the floor of the deer stand. As you can easily notice in the diagram, we recommend you to make sure the corners are right-angled.
Drill pilot holes and secure the adjacent walls together, by inserting 2 1/2′ screws. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert screws into the joints. Use braces to lock the walls together tightly.

Attaching the side walls
After assembling the frame of the 6×6 deer stand together, we recommend you to attach the exterior walls to the structure. Mark the cut lines over the 3/4″ plywood sheets and get the job done with a circular saw.
Smooth the cut edges with sandpaper and remove the residues with a vacuum. Drill pilot holes and secure the sheets to the frame using 1 1/4″ screws, along the studs and plates.

Fitting the front wall
Next, attach the plywood sheets to the face of the 6×6 deer stand. In order to get a professional result, we recommend you to leave no gaps between the components and to cut the top at an angle. Smooth the edges with sandpaper before locking them to the structure.

Fitting the back wall
Afterwards, attach the exterior walls to the back of the structure. Make the cuts to the 3/4″ plywood sheets and align them into place, as described in the diagram. Smooth the edges with sandpaper and secure it into place by using 1 1/4′ galvanized screws.

Deer blind plans
Last but not least, you should take care of the finishing touches. Therefore, fill the holes with wood putty and let the compound to dry out for several hours. Smooth the surface with medium-grit sandpaper along the wood grain.
Top Tip: Apply several coats of stain or paint to enhance the look of the deer stand and to protect the components from decay. Check out the rest of the projects to see how to build the roof and the door.
