Another DIY blind

[gonehuntin68]

Here is a blind that I built the last couple of days. The blind is 6' x 6' x 6' 4".

First I built the base.



Then I used some old shelving to make the floor.



Next I built the walls using 2 x 2's. I made each wall independent of each other. That way i can transport it and just screw it all together.



Then it was time to put the waterproof plastic walls on. I used lots and lots of staples.



Then I put the roof on. Here is pictures of the back door and front shooting window. I only went with one small window as the spot Im putting this blind would have no view out the sides, just brush.





I made the window out of plexi glass and the back door out of 3/4 inch plywood. I used weather stripping on the window and door to keep any unwanted guest out.





Next I took the whole thing apart and added some wood sealer to protect the wood from rotting.



I then started putting it back together and painting the back 2/3 of the inside black.



After getting it back together I added some carpet and bow and arrow holder.





Now I just have to give it a quick camo paint on the outside.
This blind cost about $300 to build. Once I get this blind in place I'm going to seal all gaps so no bugs or anything else can get inside. The blind should be waterproof and last a long time. The only problem I see is how hot it will be inside the blind. I only plan to hunt this blind in the winter and at night. I believe the blind will hold my scent in very well.

Cool, are the walls coroplast?

Love that wall quiver. I think I will borrow that idea.

Very nice! Will you have shoot through netting or anything on the window?

Looks great ! I like the arrow holder idea as well

Very nice....

you might try painting the inside with a silver reflective paint and then painting over it with black. That might cut down on the heat, assuming that it will be in direct sunlight

very nice. what are the walls made of, where did you get it and how much did it cost?

[BIG IRON]

If the walls are made of coroplast, I found some on ebay for $10 a sheet (4x8). White or black.

The walls are made out of plas-tex poly wall that you can get at Lowes. I don't know if they will last but if they don't its no big deal but I hope they last at least a year or two.

NO shoot through netting needed because you can't see in from the outside and I like to pig hunt at night and I can't see through that netting worth a darn at night.

The blind is going to be brushed in and under the trees so it should not get much sun other than the winter when the leaves fall off the trees.

I got them at Lowes. They are Plas-tex polly wall and they are a little less than $16 a 4 x 8 sheet.

Have you used coroplast before. I'm not sure what it is but I assume it is similar to what I used. Also have you used that silver paint before and if so how did it work.
