Just finished my deer blind, and thought I’d post the video of the whole process. I may even build more like it. Jump to 4:00 to see the finished blind. Don’t forget to comment and subscribe!

N0W , …. that's A hunting blind !
Nice…not overbuilt…I've never built a blind, but what do you think about spraying the inside with flat black paint to keep the light wood from showing outside ?
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Overall, very nice job … !
Personally, on a 4' × 4' blind I would consider external framing to allow for 48" × 48" interior floor space rather then limiting it to 45" × 45". Three inch additional elbow room in a small structure becomes significant. I would also utilize 1× lumber for weight savings, over 2×. Just my preferrence.
Nice blind … ! Great Camo job … !
thanks for showing it off
nice hunting blind,i tinted the windows in my blind
How much does that cost to build
I'm sure some are cheaper than what this cost. But they probably wouldn't last as long if you didn't take them out of the woods every time you hunted. I had a portable popup that didn't make it all season a couple years ago.
nice job! but would it be as cheap to by the tent kind! i respect the creattivity!
@SouthernRebels2 Cut some plexi-glass 1/2" bigger than the opening. Then attach the hinges to the glass. Don't use glue like I did, it won't last. Drill the glass and put small screws in to hold it. Don't force the drill, it will crack the plexi. I cut a strip of aluminum for the top where I put the bungies to make it more rigid. Drill holes in that, slip the bungie in and tie a knot to hold it. Then just line it up to the opening and attach it. Jump to 3:15 to see how to hold it closed.
@TUFFNDN Be sure to put a nice chair in it for her. I picked up a nice office chair with wheels and arm rests at a storage auction for like 10 bucks. I've only hunted it once, but a couple of the other guys in my club have taken their kids and hunted in it. They said there was pretty comfortable.
Very nice. Thanks my wife is interested in hunting and this will be a good stand for her.
@ss109guy the website is stencilease dot c o m
Where did you get the stencil kit? Thanks nice blind.
Do you remember where. Thank you,
@tmastr50 I used a stencile kit that I bought online.
How did you camo this blind?
@baltardz One more tip: I left it sitting in the back yard and a wind gust blew it over and messed up the roof overhang! I had to drill holes in each 2×4 that sticks out the bottom to drive a rebar welded with a T-handle in each corner. She's not going anywhere now LOL!
@baltardz
Thanks for the comment! The bottom measures 48" x 47-1/2". That way I didn't have to shave any off the edge of the 1/4" sheet I used on the sides. The front side I left 8' tall, but I made the back side 6" shorter. (I'm 6'-6" tall and I wanted to be able to stand up and stretch my legs). The windows are about 40" off the floor. I actually sat in the chair I'm going to use and measured off the floor to find a comfortable height for them.
