It is OSB. Got the panels from Home Depot with the realtree camo already applied. 15 Bucks a sheet.

Looks good. Make sure to seal all the cut edges or that OSB will expand and start falling apart when it gets wet. May even want to put some caulk or silicone on the joints to be certain they stay true.

May even want to put some caulk or silicone on the joints to be certain they stay true. yep i didnt do it and now a few parts are bowed out lol Thanks all. Made some finishing touches. Used 3 tubes of caulking to seal everything up to include the rough edges on the OSB. I smoothed it all out and then put another coat of caulk over the top of that. Should be good. Fingers crossed. May need to deploy a buck bomb inside to get rid of the new blind smell. Think that will work? Know the deer will already be leery of a new structure on the lease.

Great looking blind. Nice windows They are indeed. I love'em. Thanks buddy. I used some Realtree Burlap I found at Academy to make these curtains. I can see through them. Hopefully the deer can't. Makes them Deerview windows look even better.

I have a similar blind with the realtree laminate. Been in the field now four years with no issue, just a bit of fading. I put metal roofers drip edge on the corners and caulked. No problems. Great blind you built!

Wow great blind but that's a lot of money! Got a guy in Greenville Texas that will build 4x8 blind with windows installed painted dull green for $350.00 but that's just me....... Always got one naysayer. Can he build the same with top of the line Deerview windows? Carpeted shooting decks, gym style floor covering, overhead storage. Bet NOT! I built it myself to my specs and that makes it worth the $750.00. Besides, it's my money. I'll spend it as I want on what I want. IF your guy can build the same blind for $350.00 bucks then I will take 2 of them, no wait make that 3. Give them for Xmas presents to the other 3 guys on my lease. Send me his phone #. Anyways, here it is set up ready to hunt.
