Looks good, looks very roomy but where you placed it, it looks like you can only shoot out of one of the 6 sides.

The other two windows will get some mesh in front of them but will still be able to see if something is coming up from behind on the adjoining property. I still need to do a little trimming but got one in place and hopefully the elevated one in a couple weeks.

Nice! Got any inside pic's of the windows? I'm trying to figure out how you made them. No pictures but they were not hard to make. I took some 2x2's and cut a 3/8" deep grove in them with a table saw about 3/16" wide by running them twice over. Then I mitered the corners. I got some 1/8" glass cut about 1/4" smaller in size than the grove depth and fit together. I pre-drilled the corner holes for 1 1/2" screws and added some glue for strength. To help keep out water and bugs I made the cut in the plywood opening about 3/8"-1/2" smaller around the sides and top for some overlap.

How tough was it to get in the air? Did you have to have a tractor?

How tough was it to get in the air? Did you have to have a tractor? I did not set it up as one assembly. I set the bottom on first and then attached each wall separately. Each wall section probably weighed less than 50#. I had someone had me each wall. Roof was tricky just because of the size but it was not to heavy. If there would have been a strong wind thing would not have been as easy.

I LIKE!!!
Built a pair of those myself a few years back. Wish I had kept one for myself. Loved em, but a little too time consuming compared with 4x6 or 4x8.
