I would set it on 4x6 posts into the ground and build a base like a deck with treated lumber, then finish it with either box style frame or brush or however else you might want it.
I might not be able to put them in the ground. With the DNR or local comunity might ask for a permit because it would be considered a perminent building. But I like the idea and I might just stand it up on some 4x6 that I know will sink in the ground a little but I can show it is movealbe to them if they ask for a permit.
For the roof canis_lupus that is the big thing that I want. Make it a lot easyer in the rain.
I do want to make drop down sites. I want to lock it up when not in use and only give keys for it freinds that I know. I want to put the north side roof at about a 45 deg angle so that when I open it I have a nice shot above my head and upfront.
What I am having a hard time trying to figure out now is getting this setup for Mongo my Yellow lab. He will need to see the bird fall. Then he needs to enter and exit easy mosty with a goose in mouth.
The big problem with my back is that it is flood plains with a water way. So at that start of the season I can have about 1-3 feet of standing water in the back and the creek is at a nice height. Latter in the season it will start to dry out when they open up the locks and the water level drops. So now the water in the creek is very low, but in the wetlands intill the ground freezes it stays wet. I just can not think of a way for a lay down blind to work.
Thanks for your help. I have a little better idea of what to try.
