I had an old 4x5 trailer sitting behind my shop for a couple of years. Had a brainstorm and converted it into a portable shooting house that I could transport behind the 4 wheeler. I welded 1" tubing to the top of the trailer sides, covered it with some scrap plastic sign faces, threw on some paint, a tin roof, a rolling office chair, and she's ready....

That is sweet. Do you anchor it down in any way or do think the wind will ever blow it over?

That looks pretty neat.
I know you used an existing trailer as the base of it and thats the reason that the wheels are set forward from the rear...The only thing I would do differant if I was building the running gear from scratch would be to move the wheels all the way to the rear to eliminate any tendancy for tilting at the rear of the blind...
That is a good job regardless...

Hunted out of an old military trailer on a friends lease a few years ago. Worked good except it had a metal floor and made lots of noise.

I screwed a piece of plywood to the metal floor, then covered it with carpet. Nice & quiet..

I already had the trailer & materials. Not counting that, I have about $30.00 in welding wire, self tapping screws & paint.
