Sorry if i didn't list final dimensions. 6'x8' and 6 1/2' tall. We have a family friend that is a buyer at a big lumber yard. They were damaged by a forklift and couldn't be sold to contractors.

I don't think have any better pics of the windows. But it's pretty simple. 2 tracks on either side of the window. The windows slide up and down in them. Then i used 2 pieces of 1x2 on the top and bottom of the windows as stiffeners to keep wind from bowing the windows and popping them out of the tracks. They also give you handles to slide the windows

Haha. No secret. The guy was my dad's best friend growing up. We asked him what he thought of the stuff as far as durability and longevity. He asked what we were using it for and he said he would make me a deal on some damaged pieces. Luck of the draw i guess. But may be worth asking at your local lumber yard.

Nice blind. What screws did you use to attach the smart board to the tubing?
I would caution anyone else against using lattice cap as a window track. I did the same thing about 5 years ago, and the heat has killed them. Made them brittle after a couple years, and they cracked. Hopefully yours will last as they are kind of hidden.

When I rebuilt my 4x4 blind a couple years ago, I did the windows very similar to these. But I used the small aluminum c-channel you can get from Home Depot. It's about 1/2" x 1/2". I use 1/8" plexi-glass for the windows and then used self adhesive foam strips on the plexi to tighten up the fit inside the channel. Works great.
