Big Duck Blind

admin

This is the big duck blind my boss wanted. I finished it and installed it yesterday. This was the biggest blind I have ever built.(8' wide 12' long 7' high) I didn't take any pics of the installation because we bogged down just about everything we had trying to get it in place, and didn't think about the camera at the time. I have 10 pictures to post, so it may take awhile. Attached Images

Reply:Man that looks sweet!  Many a duck shall be slayed from within that blind Good job!
Reply:Yes it would, but we hunt in the winter, which would make that steel cold.

Reply:Bunker was what I first thought of when I saw the hand print he brought me, and then starting explaining that it was a duck blind. He told me he saw one that had sleeping quarters in it.  Originally Posted by DSWI think "bunker"  or pill box might be a more appropriate description... Even comes with an over head splinter shield.

Reply:Nice job. I am assuming the bump out at the end is for the dog?????  No flip up/out cover so I guess your boss will merely brush-in the top along with the rest of the blind. Did you pop it in a powder coat oven prior to? He will have all the comfort there especially with a heater.  Good place to cook breakfast, And sealed to keep the snakes out if it stays in the field off season.  Always wanted to hunt cajun country either the flooded timber or rice fields.GeezerPower Mig 255C185 TIGBlue 175 MIGRanger 8 Kohler 20HP1974 5K Lincoln/Wisconsin Powered (Cherry)Victor/Harris O/AK 487 Spool Gun

Reply:Thanks, and yes the bump is for the dog, and no on the powder coat, 2 coats of oil base primer is all he wanted. He said that will out last him. It's in the middle of a rice field with several thousand surrounding him. Originally Posted by geezerNice job.

Reply:Thanks, and I would have taken some pictures, but after getting stuck trying to get it where he wanted it, it was getting late and the rain was coming and I forgot, sorry. Originally Posted by CraboVery nice.  I would love to see some pictures of it installed.
Reply:He is having some covers made to keep wasps and snakes and even deer out. He had a small track hoe and a 6000lb, 4X4 skytrac, and tractor with a front end loader. As for the coating, only 2 coats of primer.

The wasps and water mocassins are gonna LOVE that place during the summer time. What kind of equipment was used during the install? I'm thinking at least a track hoe or 2 and maybe a small dozer.

Reply:It takes a brave sob to face down a mean butted duck and only have a twelve gauge, LOL.Great work.  What surprised me though is someone is going to pay for that material and your time and not spend the twenty five cents per pound to have it hot dip galvanized.life is good
