Pretty nice set-up you got there ChefJohn!

Thanks for the intrest guys, I had fun creating it for sure and as far as shooting from it I haven't as of yet cut the windows in the completed set-up but prior to sewing the roof on I took it to the Davy Crockett WMA and set it up and sat all day and saw a few deer and a few turkey also and I took it to Alazan Bayou the following week and spotted some hogs and was never noticed I had one panel sewn in upside down and had 2 vertical windows cut in it and after I had tested it in the woods I decided to turn the one panel the right way but the windows were then to close to the ground so I scraped that one panel and made a new one and sewed the roof and last panel back together and their you have it. I am now in the process of cutting the windows in 3 of the side panels and the door is just a long zipper, plastic of course as metal makes to much noise and will rust if it gets wet and I had bought a gallon of tent waterproofing for my old tent and used some on the blind and as a measure of caution I have a piece of thick clear plastic sheeting that I put inside draped under the roof panels and a few inches down 2 sides so it is realatively safe to say it is weather proof.
here are the specifics

cut seven lengths of 3/4" PVC pipe 58 1/4" each these are the top and bottom rails and one is the ridge pipe.......
cut 4 lengths of 3/4"PVC pipe 51 3/4" each these are the corner poles...
cut for pieces of the scrap pipe at 28 5/8"and assemble them by putting a 3/4" Tee between 2 of them and glue them together making them one piece again and they are the last 2 top rails and should measure out to be 58 1/4" just like the others, the hole left in the Tee should face the sky to recieve a 17"length of scrap PVC and hav an 3/4" Elbow glued to one end
and the ridge pipe will connect to each end of these Elbows......
the corners are made from 2 fittings and you will need 8 of each of them I am attaching a picture of them so you know exactly what they look like as one is 3/4" with 1/2 inch male threads and the other is a 3/4"X3/4"X1/2"female threaded

thanks titleist_03 I must say, I'm about as proud of it as a new father is with the birth of a child, just didn't cost near as much! and it has just the right amount of head room as I am 6'1" and it tops out at 6'5" in the center so I can stand and stretch if the need arises...........................

I determand the frame size by measuring the width of one of the panels and subtracted 1 inch giving me a 1/2 inch seam to sew each panel together this made for a very snug fit on the frame so in the wind it doesen't flapand make noises and I use straight pins to attach fallen leaves to it also and that kind of gives it a little more dimention. on the down side of all this I am a smoker and have been for many many years and I find that if I want to smoke in my blind I can and to combat the smell in the wild I always carry some honeysuckle scented incense sticks with me as the smell covers the cigarette smell and deer love honeysuckle so thats like 2 birds with one stone and if I need heat i have made some little burners from coke cans filled with pearlite and I burn rubbing alcahol in them as it burns oderless and lasts for a good hour or so and very light weight also, these are great for a quick warm up on a chilly morning and will boil water for coffee in a small camping 3-4 cup Aluminum coffee pot. I will post a few pictures of these also and instructions how to make them along with a coat hanger stand for the coffee pot, on a shoestring budget "man this is living" a tip for those that don't know it already deer love peanut butter! I always take a snack of peanutbutter on crackers to munch on as a snack and it never hurts to place one or two of them on top of the blind. a little added incentive.lol!

Great info there and a super job. Here's a link to a place that offers other camo materials to choose from.

thanks mdbohuntr for the links I might just build me a larger version to use as a wall tent, I have the plans already drawn up it's a 10'X10'X5' and has a 7' celing in the center with a flap for a stove pipe

Thank you for the info Chef Jon. I think I may attempt to put something together this summer when I have more time on my hands.
