POP UP Blind Platform

[DaveC]

Do y'all screw the base of the tent blinds down to keep them from blowing away?

Good question. I would think they had to screw or bolt down where you would normally place stakes.

No specific plans. Just pre-built in my head. Lol
All treated lumber. 4 four foot 4x4 sections for the legs. 6 foot x 6 foot floor made with double layer of 3/4 inch plywood with 2x4 around the bottom perimeter and a couple cross braces on the bottm. I bought the preform steps and just added the tops. The side rails are 2 feet tall(they just make us feel safer) with open section for the steps. I just pre-made the floor section and hauled it all in my truck and completed the rest on site. Added carpet to keep it quiet. It's very heavy when complete! I spray it down every couple years w water seal. I screwed the bottom flaps of the blind down with large flat washers and tied the sides down attached to screws. It is very stable and I would change nothing about it! Lots of deck screws and make sure you have a good cordless impact driver!

yes, i screwed all four corners down, just went through the little piece of cloth that you put the stakes through.

I put 1x4s over the flaps and screwed them down. I secured the 4 guy ropes to nearby trees or a t post.
