Dude I put corner studs on mine and made a square frame for roof and then used old garage door panels for the roof cause they are light weight then attach them with angle brackets works Awsome
This is exactly what out blinds are. We put ours out early also. We are planning on switching out ever stand we have for a raised blind. All the new ones will have 8 foot tall platforms.
I also live in Alabama and the wasps are hell. How has the hunting been with a pop up blind on a platform? I've been thinking on doing the same here but you beat me to it. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Just curious how these held up. As an outfitter solid structure has always been the way to go unless you already owned these ameristeps the cost wouldn’t be much different. My experience is pop ups are cheaply made nowadays. Nice at first until it sets in elements. Be sure a keep them sprayed with repellent.
Absolutely waterproof them once a year ! IF ... you're concerned about snow load in the off season support the peak internally. For wind run one paracord from the roof support x to the center of the floor. Try that... .... when you're in the blind in the wind, reach up; hooh your finger over the cross support snd pull down slightly. Better than stakes and guy lines. You will have problems IF ... you don't do something.
A platform for that will hold an elephant to support a blind that will collapses the first snow or ice. Or be gone with the first windy storm. Ice is really hard on them.
Get yourself some Talstar P and never worry about them again. Spray the inside and out with it a few times before and maybe once during the season and they won't come near the boxes. Just built myself a 6'x 8' box with a 6' 5" ceiling height and can't wait to get it to camp and up.
Talstar is good but Onslaught micro encapsulated insecticide will smoke them and has residual to prevent from future infestation. Good tip as well though on the Talstar. You can buy Onslaught on amazon
Best way to get a nest out of your blind is a hot shot fogger. Pop the top and throw it in there and go back the next day with a broom and sweep them out.
That's a sweet setup We just set up our Blind this Year. Come see how I'm trying to make it super warm so our daughter wont freeze while hanging out with Mom and Dad. Your Welcome to come Join the Family. Missouri WhiteTail Hunting in 8 Days!!
@@ozziejim8472 we secure the blinds to the platform with eye hooks. After seasons over, we take blind and chairs and ladder in. We leave just the platform.
Who the hell taught you too frame up floor joists? Omg I know your just building a shoot house!!!! I wouldn’t put my kids on that carp!!! My God be on your side and now one gets hurt!!!

I do that on a muddy stand that has a 60" pad, I use a blind with a 62 and lash it in corners, works great
How did you anchor it down to keep wind from tearing it up etc?
Can you use a buddy heater in that?

I live in Louisiana and start out chunking in foggers to start out with and then go in with dual hornet cans

Just put one on a platform. Not sure if it will survive the West Texas winds
th-cam.com/video/31IYX_J2m0E/w-d-xo.html make sure you do this and it’ll stay.
Great idea
How long have those blinds lasted ?
How long before the carpet smells so bad you can't hunt it?
casualobserver77 it’s been three years and it’s in fine shape still. 👍🏼
Looking good! 👍

He's in Alabama... Snow and Ice not a problem.
Good make sure you spray it heavily or it will fade lol good hunting
If you hang a Cattle ear tag inside it will prevent Bees and other insects from taking up residence in your blind.....
Paul Montpetit ???
Great Idea!
how did you attach the blind to the floor?
What about high winds knocking it down?
Just like this: th-cam.com/video/31IYX_J2m0E/w-d-xo.html
That is my plan to build my blind ! Great minds think a like ! Lol. My blind is more square, it’s 5ft. X5ft. And mobile but same concept !👍

How are the blinds secured to the platform

We use hooks in the corners.
Deer tend to not like ground blinds.. what?? 😂😂😂😂

How tall is your platform?, didn't look so high but looking towards the target looked higher. Great video!!

Good idea
Wait till dark when all the wasps are inside nest then fill it full of spray , come back in morning and all wasps will be dead .
Why so low to the ground? Need be atleast 8ft high
Foggers work great for blinds
Carpet? Won’t it get wet?
its for sound you idiot
Only problem i see is the blinds wont support the weight of snow
He's in Alabama...
We've been doing this for 15 years
How long do you get from a blind like this exposed to the whether??
Thanks
@@ozziejim8472 we take them down after the season. So I've had some for 10 plus years.
@@ozziejim8472 this year I put up a stump 2 vision. It gets cold up here. Last year I told myself, "that was it!I'm not freezing anymore ".

Cheers mate👍
Paint the inside and outside and add kerosene to the paint! That’ll take care of the wasp issue.
Use Break cleaner. Kills the beasts instantly.
Use soapy water And throw it at them they will kill them instantly
