Well after my last post about building a cheap blind, I looked through the links posted and took some advice and since then it has come a long way. I've still got to finish up the bench to sit on, but I am pretty happey with how the front shelf and walls came together.

Good wood work

Looks good, that is a big blind.

Thanks Jeff. I was happy with how the front and back turned out but had to redo the side walls vs the pictures here in order to make them more stable and easier to take off for transport and then assembly in the field.

As for size, it's 8' wide by 6' deep. Should comfortably fit three and four if necessary.

It looks heavy, hopefully you will only have to move it once! I like the shelf and gun rack.

Got it put out and painted. Still need to brush it in.

I cant wait....

Really nice blind. Job well done.

Thanks. I really appreciate the link you posted that you followed as well as your pics. I took your cue and made it modular. There is a back wall, two side walls,the bench and front piece. The floor is two pieces. It all fit on my 5x10 trailer and I was able to load it myself. It went right together out at the spot.

Job well done!

That looks great. Those solid walls will be appreciated when the temp drops and wind picks up. How any concern about rot with that OSB? Or will the paint protect it?

The frame is all treated. The sides and back are made from exterior siding and the plywood top is also treated. We will see how they all hold up to the elements but the skin is just screwed to the frame so easy and cheap to replace as needed.

I like it but not being able to see behind me would drive me insane!

I guess I don't know how tall the roof is but it looks pretty tall in the picture

I've worried about that too and may still end up cutting a viewing port in the back wall so you can look behind you while seated. But it's not as tall as it looks, if you are standing up you are above it. i think it is 54" so seated you barely clear the rear roof.

Naw you are fine. Dr duck blind is 59 inches, and so is my blind, unless you are just one short dude, you can easily stand up and work birds behind you and take a shot if need be.

Yea that is much shorter than I first thought! 54" is about perfect to be able to sit under a roof without having to hunch over and still be able to shoot over it.
