I have always loved fishing and the look and feel of a cool cabin type lodge so I built one. I Hope you like it . Like I said never did a instructable before and most of this was random measurements I had no plans just random stuff all added together. You should always remember to use safe practices when using tools.

ALSO YOU NEED TO LOOK AT YOUR CITY OR STATE LAWS FOR HOW TALL THIS STRUCTURE CAN BE, AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURIES YOU GET WHILE MAKING THIS.

Step 1: The Base

Baseissimple constructionas4 polesaprox 2fttallwith2 x4cuttothewidthdesiredMybaseis3x4’.Screw fence boardstothe polesas to leaveabout 1 ftopen deck in front

Step 2: Front and Rear Walls

In the next phase i took a piece of scrap wood about 3ft tall and 12 inches wide its the green square in this picture shown. I laid the fence pieces over it and screwed them in it. Then traced pattern of front you need to make another for rear. Then cut.

now take 2-- 2 x4’s the length of base of the front and rear of the shack and position on deck as to put rear all the back and front one in a way to leave a deck (PORCH) in front of the shack. I used 3 inch screws to fasten to the deck . BE CAREFUL on screws you use as if they go through and you have animals they could get hurt going under deck. make sure they dont go through. Take the rear panel and place on deck in rear and screw into 2x4 that is on deck. Have someone hold that, while you screw in front panel. Now measure the space between rear and front panels that’s the width, take a 2 x4 screw near the top. Your helper isn’t needed now and it should be stable enough for you to secure . Now you can cut sides to fit and nail in. I ran 1x 2 along roof line of front and rear panels of shack that way I could fasten roof

don’t worry about exact dimensions because it adds to the look be a little off I didn’t measure almost anything except front and rear and roof.

Step 3: Roof
