I really HATE to say this but being OCD and looking at the painting on the last wall installed... It's upside down. Other than that It is a fantastic job. You gave me so many ideas but I can't paint worth a dam so I'll have to figure out how to do that part! But I will try to remember that branches grow towards the sky! Speaking of bugs, spiders, mice & wasps. Soak peppermint oil on cotton balls and put them in the corners on the floor. I use that in my basement and my shed and it works fantastic. Cut the carpeting to fit and about a week before you go hunting then put the carpeting in so that it doesn't get moldy! Can't wait to see the finished product and some deer next year. Thanks for all the great info!

Dennis Aitken I screwed up on the painting some people commented that I installed the walls upside down haha I am going to put some indoor outdoor carpet in there but I install it in the spring so it has time to air out over the summer.

I'm planning on fitting all the walls on the floor using screws, then once I have it all right then ill disassemble it due the weight and put the floor on my trailer. then I"ll completely assemble it on the trailer and lay it down on its side. Haul the trailer out to the location and put the legs in and pull it off upright with a my tractor. I hope it goes as planned. I've been brainstorming trying to think of every possible option.

I used a stand very much like this for over a decade and found a few extras worked out really well. Make sure you level the floor, especially if you want to put in a swivel chair or stool. If nothing else, if the floor isn't level, it will be really annoying to feel like you are leaning one direction all the time. Put tin or sheet metal on the roof . This will make the stand last a lot longer. Also, put some triangular shelves in the corners; really handy for your thermos, binoculars, lunch, Also, cover them with carpet to prevent noise. Some hooks or nails to hang things on are important if you want to shed some clothing in a heated stand. I use a medium size backpack and hanging it makes accessing what I want really easy. For the leaves you want to put on next year, cut some cardboard stencils, or spray paint around some pine boughs.

Ray exactly what I was going to say. I have a 6x6 and a 4x4. They work awesome. I put foil insulation between the plywood and carpet. Run the roof out a foot all the way around. Keeps most rain off the building. I build a box with trim boards and cross pieces and attach my sheet metal roofing to that. Then I just drop it over the walls and screw it to the walls. Easy and a lot lighter. Also run the side panels all the way down past the floor joist. I have videos on my KNOWLTON NORTH you tube channel.

Next one I build, couple of weeks, cutting out a bunch of weight. Using firing strips in the walls and 3/8 plywood. I build my roof similar to walls, so it fits over the 4 walls. Once I get 3 walls up I’ll get the roof in place before the final wall. I used snow slide on the roof, glued backing works miracles. 10 years no leaks. Windows can be long and narrow, not for bow hunting, if you can see sky, your windows are too wide!

Insulation could not be further from the truth we put some insulation and we have to deal with mice even woodpeckers that’s made nests I. Between the walls the blind going on 10yrs still going strong

If you'd like to heat that, why not put in a little ventless hang on propane heater. You could put a shelf hanging next to the ladder so that you could put a disposable propane bottle about the size used for propane grills and run a copper line from there to the heater. The heater wouldn't take any room away from the inside dimensions and would keep it nice and toasty on the inside. I've seen that type little one burner heaters no bigger than 10 by 12 inches and it wouldn't hang more than 8 inches out from the wall. When not in use, disconnect the bottle to take with you and use electrical tape to seal the connection against wasps and dirt dobbers. I would also assume you are going to have some way to padlock the door to keep intruders out.

This is my first blind of any kind kzitem.infoUgkxLQGtOO9dXIsNktEeycGoIT6jtJJNTScA so nothing to compare it to. After I receive it, I set it up and left it outside at home for a couple of months to let it start smelling more like outside than human. So far I've been very happy with it. Very roomy - I hunt alone but could easily fit another person comfortably. Put one bolt through the shoot-through mesh, and works as advertised. I've ordered another one, so this noob is totally satisfied. One caveat - the included stakes are pretty useless; you'll want to order something more substantial. I haven't had it long enough to rate durability, but zero issues so far.
