Try this: build a 6’x6’ square with 2x4’s or 2x6’s. Use 1 cattle panel and secure one end inside the wood square, then secure the other end inside the opposite side of the square. Repeat and overlap with another panel to make up the difference not covered by the first panel. Use a good material to wrap over loops you made with the cattle panel. Use another 2x4 board to span across the hoop on the front , open side to form a shooting rest by drilling holes in the ends of the 2x4 and zip tying to the panels about shooting height. The ceiling will be 6’ tall and entire “hay bale” blind can easily hold 3 adults. I can send pics.
Supply list:
5-2x6x6 boards.
2 cattle panels
Fence staples
Black zip ties or baling wire
Wrapping material: tarp, poly, landfill liner, etc.

We have used 1 panel but left a 3-foot gap for a door (carpet or rubber mat) and that gave us a little more room. Used 3 PVC pipes bent upwards to form the roof and then covered the whole thing with a black weed barrier and then carpet or duck blind material. We cut the bottom wire off to make spikes to stick in the ground.

Take your bolt cutters or a cut off wheel and cut your 16' panel into 3 pieces (2@ 5' and 1@6'. Wire the two 5' pieces back onto each end of the 6' piece, like a tri-fold. Stand it up in front of some brush/bushes/tree. Brush it in with cut branches or use artificial Christmas tree branches to brush it in. Take a folding lawn chair and sit in your blind. You will have plenty of room and it will last for years.
