Awesome build!!! What did you use for the cornet caps? Is it just steel drip edge flashing?

I got to hunt my new blind opening weekend and boy it sure was nice a roomy!!!!
I couldn't be happier with final product. I added a shelf across the front which made it nice. More interior modifications/features to come

What would you estimate the weight to be ? Great blind ought to last a long time.

Estimated weight for the base frame and wall frames unsheated is probably about 500 pounds. I don't remember the weight on the tube per the foot or how much tube a blind used. If you'd like I could look in my book when I get back to work and give a more accurate weight
