Directional feeder is a solid idea.
We get out with deer around us most everytime. Doesn't seem to bother them much.
I thought about a swivel seat on top. I would rather cut it off and have the middle floor space open.
I figured capacity (825 gallons) will be around 4500lbs +/-. I only can afford to fill it up once a year. That should last awhile anyway
Hell you didn’t say vanilla the first time[emoji13][emoji23][emoji23].
They couldn’t smell you with their nose in your armpit with that stuff[emoji13][emoji23]

I skinned one with thin metal and it's my least favorite. Hard to work with, but holds up well. It has windows all the way around.
My favorite one is skinned with 4 x 8 sheets of coroplast. Light easy to work with and has last 2 years with little wear showing. I'm going to do the one on top of the tank with coroplast. Gonna ask all the politicians if I can pick up their signs after election day and use those.
I have the guy customize the rings to 6 ft tall and the windows and door how I want them laid out. They are 8 foot round.
I 've done the roofs differently. The best is 4 pieces of rebar bent and stuck in holes that are drilled. Covered with old billboard vinyls I bought used. The one pictured. I used joists hangers and 2x4s with a plywood roof. It got blown off even screwed down.
Best thing is they weigh nothing and can be rolled around where you want them.
This is the one out of coroplast.

Nice. I think I’m gonna use some old metal roofing pieces. Mine will be a permanent blind. Might even dig out the ground and make it where we are almost looking out at ground level. Then I can just put a flat roof on top with more metal roofing

Originally posted by lovetohunt View PostI like the round blind, I think its a great idea. I've been thinking about building a couple of blinds like that for a while. My question is what kind of sheet metal did you use to skin the blind? And where did you find the sheet metal?
Trust me use coroplast!!! Much better to work with, lighter, flexable. I have had 2 of them out for 2 years with coroplast and no issues. Really easy to screw on and cut windows. Right now ask the losers in political races if you can pick them up for them!
