Definately cool. I was looking at this thread last week - just cause I like the idea of them. Nice to know it is still holding up.

Thanks for sharing that and giving an update. If you hadn't I would have never seen the string. I use the prefab spring loaded doghouse blinds but the way I sit in there in my wheel chair only allows me to be able to shoot out the front and not be able to see out the sides without contorting severly. I have been kicking around the idea of custom building a blind that I could comfortably see an area besides my kill zone. Also would be nice to have one a little bigger than the standard 60' x 60' so my kids or a buddy can sit in there with me. I couldn't figure out how to do the roof but your arched fenching idea solves the problem of water from pooling on a flat roof. I also put a piece of treated plywood on my floor since I hunt in some wet areas. Keeps me from getting my wheelchair stuck in the mud. I have popped up blinds and hunted out of them the next day and deer don't seem to mind. Did that with my son this year and he killed his first deer.

Hunter, the nice thing about these is you can leave them out all year long and the deer really get used to them. Especially nice in areas you can use a feeder or over a food plot. Another thing we often did in North Dakota, when they were in areas with a lot of wind, was put indoor/outdoor carpet on the frame before the tarps. Really cut down on wind penetration and noise.
