I have 3 blinds made of metal except for the floor 1 16' high, 1 ground level and 1 on a trailer . I don't worry about weather ruining my blinds. Talking about luxury, the trailer blind is 7' x 12' and 7' high. It has carpet on the floor and the shooting benches under the 3 windows and a fold up table. I even bow hunt out of it. You can also sleep in it if you wish. Metal is almost as cheap as wood and weather related trouble are almost zero. The tower blind has been up for about 15 years and no problems. Jim
