I have built over 100 blinds in the last 20 years. 6 x 8 is the best size. Elevator brackets are worth their money. Only 60 dollars on Amazon. Hatch door in the bottom is the best way to go. Deerveiw Windows also worth their money. 12 x 18 mounted vertically center at 40 inches is perfect for both bow and rifle. Camouflage paint only matters to hunters. Save money and get the mistake paint at Home Depot. Tint it green or brown. Cheap ladder stands on clearance or ladder steps for tree stands make great ladders to get in short blinds.

Look on facebook marketplace and find a small rubbermade shed that someone is getting rid of. I found a 7x7x7 plastic shed that someone was giving away. I built an 8x8 platform and put it on top of that. Cut windows in the shed and put deer view windows in them. I think I have about $200 in it and its nicer than I need
