Looking to buy a hunting blind. What's your preference and why.
Thanks.

Corrugated tin screwed into 2x2 wooden frame. Foam board insulation. Light, quiet, lasts forever.

Fiberglass, never another wood or metal blind for me.

I tried sheet metal on my last blind build and love it...I ran a bead of silicone II one the metal tube frame then screwed the sheet metal down with sheet metal screws the have the rubber gommets(sp) already on them. Then I liquid nailed on 1" high density foam on the inside of the sheet metal. My kids can kick the walls pretty hard with hardly any noise.
For the way I hunt turned out pretty nice, and very quiet.

Sheet metal if you can insulate it to keep the noise and bugs out. If not fiberglass is a great second choice. I like my hardiboard I am using now also. Just heavy.
