I'm looking to build about a 5x5 box blind about 4-6 feet off the ground. Does anybody have any pictures of their blinds? What materials work the best?

How did you build the blind from the platform up with the elevators? In other words, how did you attach the blind to the platform?
I built it at the house and they took it a part and put it back together again in the cutover. I built it from the base up at the house. When we put it back together at the cutover I attached the legs to the base and X braced them, them we stood it up. We put the walls and roof on after we stood the base up. I had the roof so that it has a 2x4 band would fit around the ousside of walls and I just screwed the walls to the 2x4 band from inside the stand.

Here is a link to the windows.
