[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1768752, member: 95235"] A few tips I've learned by trial and error . 1. Remnant rubber roofing membrane and contact cement makes great roofs and isn't loud in the rain. 2. If you're building blinds on uneven terrain like the ridge country we hunt in WI and these are in permanent location, then I build the platform, set it at height and on site, then I get on the platform with a shooting stick and gun and find the best sill height for each window. In a couple of the first ones we built, we didn't do it this way and you have to sit real close to the downhill windows to see over the edge. All day straining, ducking... Wears you out. With the new ones you can sit comfortably in the middle and never have to change your posture to see in any direction. When it's time the gun is also supported at the right level. 3. Trap doors in the bottom that you enter through are safer and the walls /windows are easier to build without having to work around a door. [/QUOTE]
