    A friend and I bought a couple of these a few years ago from a moving company. Took em out to the lease and gave them a good paint job and then set them up on platforms. We cut windows and a door in each. Just added hinges to the cut outs and had doors and windows.

    I would recommend adding a tin roof as water will collect on the top and bow in the top and you will get a lot of leaks. A sloping tin roof will take care of that.

    I got five years of service out of mine. Would have gotten more but had to move the platform and destroyed the box in the process. Inexpensive way to have a blind.

        Nice find.......Being 45" one would have to probably bowhunt out of the end and have your shooting window on one of the 45" sides and your door on the other so you could sit back towards the middle and draw. I've see it done on 4" x 6' box blinds....and any guest would have to sit behind you though.

        Its different but hey free is free.

          That's how I used to build mine. Only I used 4X8 sheets. Mine were 48" X 96".
