Weekend project turned out real good.
The family hunting property is about to be overrun with cows, so I had to get the blind off the ground.
This is a Barronett Big Mike XT blind, mounted on a 12' tripod.
Built, mounted, and braced a 3/4" tubing frame to the tripod, that matches the footprint of the blind.
The blind was in pretty bad shape, and faded, but I sewed up the bad spots, sprayed the inside with a rubber sealer,
and then put a military camo netting over the outside.
Carpeted the platform, and turned the carpet up 10" on the inside all the way around.
It's very solid, and stable. Has already withstood some pretty high wind just setting here unanchored in the drive.
It'll be very solid once in place, and tied down.
I have a board that slides across the opening/entry way to keep me from stepping through it.
