I am a finish carpenter by trade, so I put those skills to good use on this blind build.
I was not paid for this video in any way or by any company with the products used. I purchased all products by myself. I made this video on my own to educate others about products I personally believe in and use. Thanks for watching

Comment anything you need to know on how to build!
Thank you for the great video and design. Did you use 2×4 also for the floor support? 6×6 design, can you shoot with a rifle from inside the blind or will you have a portion of the rifle out of the window?
With you had more videos
Maybe it's too late to ask but I was wondering where you got your window treatments that you can see through?

Here is a teaser to my blind build
The window covering link does not take you to a camo covering. I'd love to get some and do so through your link, but… doesn't appear to be the same stuff.
What did you trim your outer corners with?
I like it. Very well built
Nice!
I live in Missouri & prefer having the widows tilt inward in case of all probable/possible rain, sleet, snow in the hunting season. The magnetic holders would well from the interior too.
Windows open out? Why. Wind will bang them around?
How much would you charge to build one ?
Nice blind bud! Sub’d.
Best construction, windows, and accessories I've seen. If you would have set it back under the tree, with the tree in background to break up the silhoette, and camoed the blind a bit, it would be virtually hidden, and you might fool even the biggest bucks in the area. I guess if you only hunt it once in a great while it will be fine, but I wouldn't expect to kill anything huge out of it, especially with any significant hunting pressure on the property. The big boys in my area figure out pretty quick what a box in an open field is during hunting season. Fortunately for me, the outdoor hunting channels have misled my neighboring box blind hunters.
Nice Blind! Are there cows out there and that’s why it’s fenced off ?
Nice blind
What kind of door?
Would you have liked it to have it say 10 ft of the ground
Bad A$$!!
Do you regret having windows that open outward rather than inward. In Nebraska it gets cold so we want them to open inward when we see the deer and less chance they get spooked. We generally don't leave them open all the time.
Sweet tip on the tower leg brackets. No idea they existed.
If you want that smartpanel siding [or any wood siding] to last you better put a couple coats of paint on the bottom edges so it won't wick water.
What is your estimated guess on money spent on this project???
If you had to do it over which windows would you recommend
Hey Colby where did you get that door? Cost?
nice job colby.
Nicely done! Nothing wrong with being comfortable and being able to spend more time hunting out of the elements..
What is the Camo covering the windows?
Awesome blind!! 6 ft. ceiling doesn't sound tall enough for a standing compound bow shot? Trying to shoot from a seated position isn't all that great.
Looks good!!
I liked the barbed wire best
