depends on the land ,do you want some height or just a hide ,check direction the winds coming from most backstops etc ,any size you want could just be half a dozen pallets screwed together, its up to you,
Don't make it too small so it is difficult to move around inside quietly. I like them big enough to stretch out a bit whilst waiting.
Good ergonomics make a real difference to the enjoyment of using a doe box.
Set the plank seat so that it is comfortable to sit comfortably leaning against the back wall but still with a good view out & set another plank up as a shooting rest that you can lay the rifle on ready for quick deployment & a good shooting position.
I like them six ft wide by six high (don't like banging my head!) by about five ft front to back.

I will look them out when I have a spare moment
A roof has its benefits - Keeps you dry & warmer. It also puts you more in the shade so your movements are harder to see from the outside.
I've used doe boxes quite a lot & deer often look at them as if they know you may be there so being in the shade is quite important.

hey moss
I like to be able to move a wee bit without touching the sides so you dont make noise and always get a lid on so that you can sit up when its wet without getting a wet arse . try an old carpet on floor for sound reduction and on insides to keep wind out. I usually put a bird box on outside so they don't build inside and crap over everything ES
