what did you use for the frame?

nice looking blind.

Awww man, someone spilled b.s. all over this thread.[:'(]

I've gotone of those too. I got all the materials at D.I.C.K.s sporting goods and they even put it together for me. Does yours fold up like mine?

LOL; since when do "old tents" have spring steel hoop frames; we are hunters here, you can't pull one on us. Nice commercial bought blind wts.Now get that thing brushed in if you want it too work.

Hey guys,
I think this contraversial thred stuff is my specialty.
Tent was northern exposure bought at a local Ace hardware Half a decade ago. My step brother ripped the door off so my parent asked me if i could use it i said yeah.
It doesn'thave any zippers. all velcro. The tent is still underneath the camo cover.
I safety pinned the "shoot through screens i got to the inside of the tent!
I don't trust the tension on them so i simply leave them off when i hunt.
They're basicly See through windows.
You can see the thirty zip ties along the left pole.
I left the portable fly on top of the tent before i put the camo on. It gave it that dome look.
Well keep picking this post apart and good luck.

I also think it looks rounder because it very unstable. Leans way to the left.
The tent doesn't really have the support of sidewalls since i cut into all four and if you look very closely you see the tent through the right side at the bottom.
Ill give you pictures from the inside aye??

Ohhhhh, I see now. Man you did a great job. If a person were to send you their old tent how much would you charge to turn it into a custom ground blind?

Nice blind...

When I owned the cleaners and had all the big commercial grade sewing machines, I made one that's 5 sided. I don't have a picture. Anyway, I even have a bow hanger in the peak. It has a bottom and everything. Made it with shock corded tent poles, 2 different camo designs, one on 3 sides the other on two. I went with smaller shooting slits and viewing windows covered with screen/leavy material that can be opened or left shut for viewing. I used it once. Go figure. Hours and hours in the off season sewing tent pole sleeves and a water proof floor and it hangs in the garage for 5 years.[&:]

I just try to save a buck.$
I'd tell someone else to buy one and save the hassel.
I have a fiance' and a 18month old at home. Projects like this one help justify me spending so much time in the woods and pursuing what makes me happy.

If you hunt good you don't have to do it the "Hard way"
[hr]
just make sure your doing it "your way"
Thats how i get the most satisfaction out of hunting!
