[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5734953, member: 19900"] I did what you are talking about. My .02. Dont make the blind out of roofing metal. It will resonate like a bass drum with every little movement. Make sure you have 360' of windows so when you move it, no blind spots. Buy those cheap crank up trailer jacks and put them on each corner of the trailer. Get it in position, then jack the tires off the ground and level it. I used ratchet straps to hold the blind down on the trailer. The legs are only 4' tall so the bottom of the blind is about 6' off the ground making the roof about 11' 6" off the ground. Keep this in mind when trailering under branches and bridges. Keep in mind getting in and out so you might want to position the blind toward the front of the trailer and have the door and steps to the back. This will keep the weight toward the tongue so you can still trailer it safely. Call around to some vinyl siding installers and ask if you can dumpster/trailer dive a tear off. I got enough free siding to do 2 big sheds. It will water proof your blind and is pretty light weight. If you are putting it somewhere with high winds like in the middle of a field, get a couple mobile home tie downs and strap it to the ground. Paint any exposed wood to make it last longer. Put one of those no pest strips in the blind during the warm months to keep vermin and wasps from taking up residence. [/QUOTE]
