There's lot's of treated pine siding on the blinds we have on the land and no scent problems. I'm trying to get this built (sections for quick assembly in the woods) this spring and on the land early summer. That should be good for the fall hunt. If you saw the monstrosity that was parked right out in the open 20 feet up you'd never believe you'd see deer but I've got two 9 pointers from that stand (now torn down) and the year before I got in on the lease the guy who hunted from it got this deer. It's a "funnel" where all the deer coming on the land usually come by me.
