I picked up this blind earlier this year. It is about 58" across on the inside, probably not quiet big enough to bow hunt out of. When I got the blind, all the windows were missing. I would like to go back with some type of windows. It had plexiglass windows on it before. The opening are 12"x32.5". I was thinking about building a wooden frame and using deerview 10"x28" in it, or should I just go back to plexiglass. I was thinking nothing smaller than 1/8". What is yalls opinion?? I think I'm about the same money either way.

We have 1 blind with sliding plexiglass and I hate it. Noisy, and not simple to open without spooking game. They also let a lot of cold air in around the edges. But... it gets the job done and we have killed deer in the blind.
That being said , the hinged deerview tinted windows we have in our other blind are nice, quiet, easy to open, and seal out the weather. I would spend the extra on deerview if possible personally.

The deerview should come out a little cheaper, it will just the window smaller after I make a frame for it. I will be going from a 12x33 to a 9x26.
No room for sliding window. Deerview will fold in & Plexiglass will fold out

I build my own. I use aluminum Screen frame from Lowes, comes in 7 foot sections for about 4.00 then the corners are 1.98 per package of four. I cut them to size these are 12x24. The plexiglass I ordered off of Amazon. 6 per package 60.00. I remove the film on one side then use goop to attach the plexi to the frame. Hinges I ordered on line from a company Global Industrial. They are about 3.00 each. I can post links for the plexi and hinges.

The hinges from here.
Everything else I got at Lowes. To mount the hinges on the frame I used #8 x3/4 self tapping screws from Lowes. I use goop on the hinges then screw them down. I also use goop to secure the plexiglass to the frames. when you buy the screen frames and corners get a couple of packages of screen clips.
Here is some pictures. Have any questions let me know.
