        I got on a new lease in Melvin and wanted to build a new blind. As always, I'm by myself, so I needed something I can set up & take down myself. I built the base out of 2x6, 2x4, 4x4, 5/8 plywood, and elevator brackets. All framing was 2x2 that I ripped from 2x4's. I skinned it with the FREE coroplast that I got a while back. The roof was 9/16 OSB covered with tin. I made my windows out out the coroplast but made them the size to install Deerview windows later if needed. I use drip edge for my windows to slide down or up, and drip edge on the corners. I made 4 windows across the front, 2 on each side, 1 in the back with a RV door

        I made the panels where one piece would slide into the other, where the coroplast would slide in behind the drip edge, and then I could screw everything together. I made the window openings 9x26 so they hold a 10x27 folding window. They start at 26" off the floor, and my base is about 6ft tall. I can shoot ( while setting) at about 5 yards..

        Anyway, I got it all set up this weekend, and it came together very nicely.














        Nice blind. Where about in Melvin? I have a place in Melvin, Eden and Salt Gap.

            I roughly had $330.00 in the cost. But, I bought the Elevator Brackets on TBH, I gave $40 for them. I bought the used RV Door $30, and I got the coroplast siding for free.

                Very well done.
                I had a Coroplast walled blind that lasted a decade in the weather.

                  Check for a Regal Plastic location near you.

                    That looks great! If you ever need a hand with something at the lease let me know. If I am up at our place I would be glad to give you a hand. I'm retired so go up often. Good Luck this season!

                      when you say "old" did it sell or something?
                      do they not have it anymore?

                              Your blind turned out great . I like the takedown option . In your last pic, the two center windows are open/ down , a black hole. Why not paint all the windows black and the opening will be the same color, open or closed. Just a thought.

                                My cabin is just a couple miles from the Jacoby store. Need to meet up sometime this season.
