I'm about to build my first tower blind for bowhunting and need some advice. I bought some metal leg brackets and plan on elevating the actual blind about 12 feet high. What I need is some ideas or plans anyone may have on construction of the actual boxed enclosure. My current idea is to have a fairly large enclosure, probably 6'X6' or 6'X8', so I can have a few kids in there when I hunt. One of the main things I'm contemplating is what kind of windows to use. I plan on building the walls with 2X4's and would like to frame in some fairly sturdy windows that are big enough to comfortably shoot a bow out of. My idea is to use some slide windows, but I'm way open for ideas on this. I would also like some ideas on roof design. I thought it might be cool to have a flat roof of some type that I could sit on top of if I want to hunt in the open instead of in the enclusure. I'm in South Dakota, so that's why I want a warm enclosure so my young kids will have a favorable hunting experience.

Thanks
