A new set of hexagon ground blinds

[Bodey]

Getting started on another set of ground blinds. Mostly the same as my previous blinds but I will assemble them at shop and then haul and set them. I have raised the threshold on my entry door, so I can bury them a little deeper in the ground. Last set, I made as modular panels and assembled them after I dug the hole. Hauling will be a bigger chore but assembly should work better. Will be building 8 and will post as progress is made.

What length are you cutting the studs to make the hexagon ? I'm getting ready to build one myself

thing looks serious! great work

[Bodey]

I'm using 3x5 foot sheets of Hardie backer board for walls. All my horizontals are 36inches with a 30degree cut on each end. 2x4 on bottom and 2x2 on top. Verticals are 2x4 studs cut 55 inches long but they have a 30 degree rip on each side, to tie the panels together with the proper angle. Everything is glued with liquid nails and staled with neumatic staples.

[Bodey]

62.5 inches flat side to flat side and 72 inches corner to corner. Plenty of room to sit two regular sized folks. Will be working on roofs tomorrow.

How much does that weigh when finished?

[Bodey]

Completed 8 bodies and cut rough openings for windows and doors. Installing wood frames for windows and laying out Masonite roof triangles to serve as base for fiberglass skin.

Somebody please tell me why pics turn out sideways and upside down. I'm sorry you have to stand on your head to view my pics.
