Looks great! I am looking to build this same shack but for angling. I have a few questions. What did you use for your wall sheathing? How do the walls fasten together? How tall is it inside? Thanks!

[Laska]

Inside is 6' 3" I believe, Total hidth is 75" walls plus 2" of floor frame., Walls go together with 3 1/2" screws. Sheeting is 1/4 luan board.

Gordie I bought primer white for the bottom foot of sheeting. We did cover it last year and I thought of you when I picked it up! Ill have to wait after this first trip next week to get it painted, I dont have the time before hand.

Any of your old shacks for sale? Im from Weaver but up in Red Wing for another year and just bought my first spear.

[Laska]

Na, I used the parts for the newer shacks and the one I do have from last year is getting turned into a permanent ground blind. I made this one for around $375 all together. With only having the 2x4's to start with.
