moog5050 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Figured the 65mph winds did some serious damage to our newly constructed blind and platform. Had to sneak out to check it. It’s a keeper. Didn’t hurt a thing. Edited April 6, 2018 by moog5050 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 it's killing me as i've still got one of my best stands still out. i bring everything in for the off season but i'm mostly in treestands. i get leaving the blinds despite i've had some snow cave them in and stretch the fabric.

We have way too many out to bring them. They stay and are replaced as needed. Usually hunt ladder stands but bought 2 of these to hunt with kids and hoped metal frame of blind would allow me to leave em out. So far so good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steuben Jerry Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Looks great Moog - I see you made the risers, but what brand is the platform and blind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneck 360 softsided blind with DYI platform. I am shocked it made it through those winds. But it’s about as sturdy a soft side you will find. The frame is square tube metal and really permanent. Cover can be removed/replaced if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Redneck blinds are not cheap! But seeing this, it's obvious they are worth what you pay for them! I'm looking to pick up one this summer! 18 minutes ago, Robhuntandfish said: Cant wait to see your painting skills at work on the platform! Hoping for camo in custom dragonfly pattern!

chas0218 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Is that the redneck blind? With a custom platform? I will be building my own redneck soon hopefully. Did you cement the legs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you cement the legs? No need to cement legs. Secured the legs by attaching to rebar driven in ground but even that was likely overkill. It’s heavy and angled legs make it virtually tip proof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth every penny if you don’t plan on moving it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moho81 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Roughly what do you think your all in cost is? I’ve been thinking about turning my gun stand into an inclosed stand. Between the weather the last 2 years and now having a kid that wants to hunt it makes sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
