    How to build a window for a round blind?

    I have a old grain storage contain that I am turning into a pit blind. Somebody please give me some ideas on how to make the windows so that I can open and close. Want to keep the rattle bugs out

        Easy to do but hard to explain in words. frame window to the inside of blind.Cut your radius out of two pieces of 2x6 the width you want you window. Radiused in front and flat(squared in back). This gives you your top and bottom. Your sides will Just square to them. Hope you can get the visual.
        You wind up with a square frame that is flat in the back and it is raidiused in the front.

                    please post some pics (or start a thread in DIY?) when you get around to this project! Have one of these sitting in camp that we've talked about converting. Good luck!

                      I have a blind made out of a round metal water storage tank. I just cut the holes for the windows and used these clips to attach the mesh to the blind:

                      I also have several other ground blinds with the same clips holding the netting in the windows and have never had a problem with critters getting in the blinds.

                      Using these clips makes replacing the netting when needed really easy too.
