What kind of base do y’all make for your Krivoman blinds. Not looking to elevate it at this time, but don’t want just the dirt floor. Thanks.

Base for blinds
I have one where the ground is dirt and very level, so I just put 2 horse stall mats on the ground.
I have another where there are big rocks so I made this platform:
The legs are adjustable and only about 15” maximum height. I put the horse stall mats on top of the expanded metal and the blind on top of the horse stall mats. It worked perfect.

My blinds are a bit different than most. I bought shells from Mitch and cut my own window holes, so there are no closeable windows like in the ones you buy from him. I just use shoot thru mesh and automotive edge trim to hold it in place. At the ranch I work at, we have several Krivoman blinds with the regular windows where we just made little screens for each window and screwed them onto the outside of the window frame.

This is the platform under my Turtle Blind, my Krivoman is on a 10' tower.

Thanks
I don’t have any pics on my phone, but I’ll try to get out there and get a couple. Remember, my blind isn’t like any bought from Mitch with the glass windows in it. If you have the windows, you can buy the stuff to make custom screens at Home Depot and build screens to fit on the outside of those windows. The mesh is just camo netting that comes in 12’x54” pieces, and I cut it to fit my windows as needed. The netting in the pics I posted above is old and needs to be replaced.
I just set up this blind last week to try to catch the summertime axis that come to the water trough there:
For this one, the netting is not actually on the blind. I made a frame out of angle iron to attach to the barn so that the netting would cover the entire hole.
