Opinions on moving / changing blind windows (Pic added 2/21) - 02/21/13 03:39 AM
I bought a trailer blind last year. It is everything I expected except the windows are too low. They are 36" from the floor & I'm more comfortable with a 42" window. (Floor to bottom of the window).
The present windows are 8 1/2" high and 24" wide.
I was going to raise them and fill the gap by screwing more corrugated roofing on it & painting it to match. However, that would leave obvious patchwork that may make it difficult to sell later.
Another option is to cut the windows to 12" high and replace the present plexiglass windows with some factory made ones. If I got the swing-up type, I could place a 4" shooting rest in the window sill & have the height I want while retaining the integrity of the blind's appearance.
What would you do?
Any other suggestions?
(I'm kicking myself now for not taking a picture. I won't be back out there for a couple of weeks).
Thanks!
