This hunting blind was super easy to make and will probably last forever. It’s a 1,000 gallon tank, approximately 6.5′ tall (at the peak), over 5′ in diameter and constructed of durable plastic. It is a TANK of a deer blind. The size makes it great for archery or rifle hunting. You might be able to find a water tank like this on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Love it
What are you using to fasten things just screws, nuts and bolts or what?
I’m in Texas…I’d probably sweat out of it in 15 minutes. Is it hit in there?
Paint the inside black so your silhouette doesn’t spook deer when you move. Add acrylic windows and tint them. Put some handles on the sides to lift, and some vents inside that open and close.
awesome idea like to see a video of building the platform and installing the tank……. Great video………
Nice cheap and very durable stand. Plus the thing could easily be hoisted onto a platform and secured. Like it. Good job
I will give it to you, you stole the tank for that price. I would have taken my time and tried to make some cleaner cuts. Put a little more thought into it maybe. But it’s cool I guess.
Paint the inside black and wear black
Where did you get the window sliders?
That is absolutely awesome bud
Coolest thing I have seen good job man 👍
Well the cost of used water tanks just went up $200 😁..That would make a great ground blind without a platform for the older hunter or the dad looking to get our kids joining us on a hunt…… great idea thanks
Aaaaaaaannnnnd now I'm hunting for one of these (or something similar) on Craigslist & Marketplace.
