Permanent box blinds

[ZipsNLbs]

Let’s see some of the permanent “elevated “ blinds y’all have made ! . This one’s about 90% done . Built it for the wife it’s 8x12 ! It’s got propane heat . I hung up a Dewalt battery powered fan to move the air around , AAA powerd lights with a remote . Humidity in it has been a issue so I’ve been using the fan on it’s lowest setting a big Dewalt battery (5ah I think ) and a couple damprid buckets it’s been working like a charm ! It’s got 5 deer view windows in it . Tried using cheap interior door for it but it’s showing mildew as I expected . Gonna find a clearance or used metal exterior door . Other than that it’s pretty sweet !

I’m out here pinching pennies to pay for club memberships, fuel for scouting, decoys, tags and points, and enough shotshell to last me through waterfowl season. I don’t have money for custom built heated humidity controlled deer blinds with a casting couch.

It won’t be shot off . Got it for 100$ at big lots lol . We do a lot of fox/bobcat and coyote hunting so just something comfortable to sit / nap on through the over night sits

I’ve got some 1/2” foam boards I’ll use on the walls. Used pressure treated boards and wanted them to dry out first. Got a buddy heater and urinal as well. Makes those all day sits a little more bearable.

That’s nice bud ! I’m gonna steal the metal roof idea for the exterior walls . I just used 1/2 “ non treated then hit it all with that Asphault like fence post paint to kinda water proof it had a few buckets of it in the shed seems to be keeping the squirrels and porcupines from gnawing on it
