I would not use untreated wood and varnish for it will shine and not last as long in the weather. Worth the extra coin. Weighs a bit more, but lasts MUCH longer. Plus its dark already to start. Use wire hog panels for the brush/camo and it is much stronger and you can zip tie brush to it from the surrounding area to make it blend in better.
Use the Fastgrass bundles you can buy if you plan on using grass. You can get it at Cabelas in packs of brown,tan or green or just each by itself. We use it on the boats and lay out blinds and it lasts forever. It is so strong we have used the individual strands to tie stuff up and it is still holding from last season!!!!! It is made from a plastic material, IDK, buts it strong as heck. Great hunting and have fun!!!! Post the pics when its done.
