Originally posted by cazador0506 View PostLike Damon I secured the blind to the platform. I had no issues with it moving during its five months of sitting. I used 4 pieces of cable clamped and secured around the eyes that are centered on each side of the double bull and then secured the other end to a turn buckle attached to an eye bolt through the frame of the platform.
Not the best pic but you can get an idea.

Originally posted by down2hunt View PostYes, I have 3 supporting 2x4's. It is actually quite sturdy. I was worried I may need to add some more supports, but I think I'll just leave it.
I went with the cheap materials since this is my first one. I was going to go for 4', then 3', but settled on 2.5'. I'm concerned with shorter shots and would rather err on the side of caution.
Materials:
1 - 4x8 OSB = $8
6 - 2x4x10 = $24.78
After tax = $33.44
I think I'm really going to like this set up I just need to figure out the right height. Once I do I may build a more heavy duty one.

I'd say to put insulation under the decking then cover it all with a piece of plywood. We have something similar to that and if you don't fill in the framing with something it will be covered with hornet/wasp nests. Even had black widow webs under it one time. It does help the noise too but you will still need some carpet to make it even more quite.

Originally posted by muddydog View Postthats a good idea! I keep waiting for a rattlesnake to come crawling under mine. I also hate having to peek under everthing before getting in it on those cool early mornings before they den up. Even then, i think the popup blind is one of the best hunting tools to come along in many years!
