very impressive... that design could be used anywhere just switch out the hay with any kind of vegetation.

fish_n1 · 03-02-2009, 03:09 PM

That is sweet great work.

ashx2 · 03-02-2009, 06:29 PM

I'd like to see a super close-up pic of how you hinged the windows if you don't mind please. And I'm curious as to how quiet they will be when opened/closed.

This is probably one of the most impressive blinds I've seen built! You've done a great job!

I'll get some more pics on this week for you.

DiscusD · 03-03-2009, 08:04 PM

Looks good

Big Daddy · 03-03-2009, 08:36 PM

Did I miss a step ? How did you adhere the hay ?

Osceola · 03-03-2009, 09:01 PM

I stuff the hay between the tarp and the hog wire.

oddg241 · 03-07-2009, 10:33 PM

Go back to post #18 and you will see what holds hay in place

shallowrnr · 03-07-2009, 10:43 PM

great job

HappyM · 03-08-2009, 09:12 PM

fine blind

dogcatcher · 03-10-2009, 12:45 AM

That is pretty slick!

Todd · 03-10-2009, 03:28 PM

great idea

Brett A · 03-10-2009, 04:00 PM

I think this blind and the converted water reservoir/pit blind are the two best home made blinds I have seen on this site. Great idea, and great craftsmanship.

Welderman · 03-10-2009, 04:07 PM

Heck of a job, may have to try one myself!

shallowaterbuck · 03-13-2009, 07:07 PM

Thats got to be the coolest dang thing I've seen in a while. Heck of a job, and idea!
I think If I find time I might try to build one myself.

slayer · 03-13-2009, 09:19 PM

Hoof · 03-15-2009, 10:25 AM

If it is over 70 degrees its a little warm.Its not any worse than any other inclosed blind.

brushybranch · 03-17-2009, 07:19 PM

cainoutdoors · 03-18-2009, 03:49 PM

What size panels did you use? and how much did you cut off the end to make the blind that tall?

They are 16' full length.Then ripped one length ways and welded it to a full panel to make one 16'x6'.The base is 4'x6'

Great White Hunter · 03-20-2009, 09:51 AM

I weld 3 nuts together and the rod I weld to the stand is welded to the nut it passes through.The rod welded to the window passes through the other end and I drill out the nuts to give a little room and they don't make any noise.The last stand I built I used weldable door hinges.This is 3/8 rod and nuts but 1/4 would work.

wld · 04-19-2009, 08:25 AM

very good craftsmanship

blincoln · 04-19-2009, 12:12 PM

looks very time consuming. Great job

kab8300 · 05-12-2009, 06:33 PM

way cool

Blast-n-cast · 05-12-2009, 08:06 PM

zcole04 · 05-13-2009, 03:49 PM

That looks awesome great idea. Did you put it beside any other hay bales or do you have it just by itself?

I use it by a big stack of hay but I think it will work by itself were the deer are used to seeing hay.
