Aluminum framed shooting house. I built this one for a lease I'm in right by the house, its 4x6 so I can sit it easy with my little boy. I framed it in the shop and skinned it once I had it out at the lease. I was able to load it on the trailer and unload it myself ok, with two people you could actually pick it up and move it around fairly easy. It would take a little more labor, and in turn cost a little more, but I could flange the cross members, and actually make it where it could bolt together on site. Would depend on what aluminum prices are this time next year, but right now I'm thinking the $700-$800 dollar range for the frame to be worth fooling with. For what I see them selling wooden framed box stands for in the greater New Orleans area, I feel like they'd sell. What does Aldeer think?

But i hate houses with windows open all the way around though 😀 How many people am i willing to sacrifice for freedom? Everyone. All of them...

Otherwise, when its empty and a good wind comes up, its going to be blown over. Looks really good. Just need some decent anchors. Never Trust Government "You can be broke but you cant be poor."

Make it a bolt together as a prefabbed wall kit. They’ll ship flat and broaden your market.

You can weld angle iron to rebar stakes and use the lip on the angle over the tubing. Drive rebar in. Do several around it Quietly killing turkeys where youre not!!!

I just bought a 37x48 piece of 1/8 aluminum plate and it was over 100.00 Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!
