[QUOTE="Grizzly Johnson, post: 5220172, member: 6181"] So I have been working on a little DIY blind project... really just to keep me dry during rainy days on stand.... it will do until I can save up for one of those more expensive enclosed stands and build a platform to put it on. Just used 2 of the 300 gal plastic bulk totes... cut off the bottom section of one to use as a top and cut the top and bottom sections off the other to make the lower half.... set the top over the bottom and bolted/pop-rivetted the halves together. Cut windows and heated the upper side with a handheld torch to bend up the flaps to form window awnings to hopefully keep most of the rain out. A little rattle can camo and set over ladder stand. Ratchet straps around the tree and a bracket attached to the ladder stand platform keeps the bottom edges from flexing in/out. Not too bad for a cheap build to knock some wind and rain off. Going to hang some mesh netting over the windows to act as curtains until time to shoot. [/QUOTE]
