Does anyone here have any photos of how they rigged up their shipping container blinds? I got one today. I have some windows that I got from TheHunted here on the forum that are going to go in it. I would like to see how you did the inside with shelves and windows.

Where did you locate the shipping container? Not far from you and could use one.

How big of a shipping container are you talking about? The ones I have seen are half the size of an 18-wheel trailer.

I don't have any pics, but many years ago I used a few of these for ground blinds. Nothing fancy, used a chainsaw to cut windows, and the shelves I built into the corners with braces across the front. good luck

Made this one for bowhunting but the kids still cant be quiet enough. Just got it back to the house and gonna change it around to use as a rifle blind. Had it in Jacksboro all year and it is still in great shape.

I got mine close enough to finished. All I need to do now is put the metal on the roof and carpet the floor. I will be taking my 3 yro son with me this year and he has his own special window to where he can see as well. In the photos it is still on the trailer, when I put it at the lease, I finished the painting.

Sportsman how are you windows done. Do the swing in? Where did you get them? I am going to build one and I like your set up.

Sportsman what size trailor did u use to pick it up? It was a tight fit, and kinda hard to get off the trailer. The trailer size was 5'1" wide and 10' long inside diameter.
