Meta, do you have any rough plans you used? Dad has a skid on runners that I'd think would work great. It's measurements are 79" x 44". Thanks

I set posts 5X5. I pre cut 13 boards 5 feet long as nailers. (3 bottom, three with top edge at 3 ft off ground for bottom of window opening, 3 more with bottom edge 16 inches above second row for top edge of window opening, then 4 for top course start about 18 inches above that to span the last course of metal, then I figured in a little slope and cut the post tops off with a chain saw as needed). I pre cut 12 sheets of old roofing tin 5 feet long for the walls (2 layers overlap on the bottom section). I cut 3 boards 6 ft. long for roof rafters ad ran them cross--ways. I cut 3 pieces of roofing tin 6 ft long for the roof. That's about it!

I want to build a few of these, but can't seem to find the time: I would love to have tow or three of these! 4x4 wire fence and some straws strips? It could probably be done with either woven cattle fence or chicken wire, a 2"x4" frame, a tarp, and erosion control mats. I think I saw some plans for them on archerytalk before.

Hey Met, I was just reading and thinking about orange wood squares blowing in the wind and banging against tin. It sounds like it would be to loud for me inside. Maybe carpet squares tacked on the back would help. Maybe you have already thought about it and have a fix. I just didn't want you to go out for a sit and discover the oversight.

That's a good thought. I am still mulling over some options. I like the carpet square idea...if I can find some blaze orange carpet remnants.
