I use the ameristep doghouse,but you have to be careful on the size. I have 5 of them but they are 68 x 68. I've tried the 60 x 60 but I find that they are hard to draw a bow in with out a lot of comotion. I leave mine out 365 days a year and the only thing I do to them in the winter is put a support pole in the center to prevent the snow from collasping the blind. They hold up well and except for the occasioal bear intrusion they have done the job for me. Good luck deerman69
