Here is our fabulous pallet blind. I was able to get some OSB (donated from a construction site) for the sides and roof, but the guts and frame are all pallets (donated from work). Also, we found some tin scraps for the roof in the landowners junk pile. A couple 2x4's and some camo burlap and it was good to go. No door on the back, just made a "curtain with the burlap. It gets cold in there, but its roomy and comfy. I think we spent about $70 on it in screws and OSB.

It'll probably only last a season or 2, but it was cheap. This first year on this lease, I needed to pinch a few pennies.

I like it. I've always been the 'Fred Sanford' kind of hunter. Waste not want not.

I think this one is the top one of all




Built up fallen oak tree all the way around.
Leafs of various colors to blend in with the natural surroundings
Assortment of branches to sit in the middle hiding from the wildlife on the other side .

Not much of a wind block but my face is to the exact North, so it travels downward to the creek below . where no deer come threw ..

I agree.


If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

That's one thing I really like about my blind: I can keep coming back to it year after year and the only maintenence I have to do is putting on a fresh coat of paint and maybe squeezing out a tube or two of black Dynaflex on the joints and it's good to go.

I haven't put on a new coat of paint in five season, so I think that will be a priority as soon as the season ends.

Keep the water off of it and keep it off of the ground and that is one you can hand down to your kiddos one day.

I was in for a big surprise opening morning when I walked up to my stand. The box was gone and my chair was hanging upside down on the ladder hand rail. Before and after pic below. I have since built a new box and am hunting again.

You need some handrails on those stairs. Sometimes the beer can hit a little harder. lol

Here are a few of ours...

Got this one from a THF member and we welded the base/stairs:


Bought two like this from the Riddler on THF - amazing blinds!!!!


This is the first one I ever built, with DeerView Windows:


My second build - 42" x 42" - had a stand given to me, so I built this cozy one person blind - complete with DeerView windows, or course!

This is how we did it when we were younger. Can't recall if I already posted this.
Lot's of good times out of these stands we built. Bud is a painter and he provided
scaffolding. I had aireal construction material, the guy downs and anchors.
We lost a box to a twister once, but the frame remained. Found pieces of the box
a mile or so away.

Cheers
