Getting ready to frame the interior of my blind walls and have a question. I bought some deerview windows and am framing the walls and wonder how I should do the windows. I want them on the inside. If I do that I'll have a 1.5" ledge on the outside around the windows that I'm thinking will eventually become a place for wood rot to take root and moisture leak inside. I'm building this blind to last.
One thought I have is to build flaps on the outside to cover the windows the 40 weeks its not in use. Hinged at the top so they function as visors when in use. That'll probably work for the horizontal ones by my on vertical window would be too long for that I think.
I was also thinking of wrapping the opening with flashing but doubt I could do a good enough job to not have sharp edges.
Curious what others have done or pictures of your installs.
Here's a sketch of the planned blind.
