Looks good. What are those white things on the legs? Did you make this blind?

I had to use galvanized angle iron on the legs. This is a 5X5 metal stand I built this summer. It is carpeted including the ceiling and shelves. I ordered windows from Tyler@rayswimdows and I am READY for this weekend.

With metal outside and inside I used 1" ductboard between the walls and used indoor outdoor carpet I bought at Lowe's on sale. I also insulated the metal roof and carpeted it, I did build a 4 piece standing seam roof. This is basically like the one I built 24 years ago that my brother hunts in only bigger.

I insulated it with 1" ductboard, and went to Lowe's and bought indoor outdoor carpet they had on sale. Glued it to the walls and ceiling and it works great.

I did build this myself. I am a sheetmetal worker so it made it real easy to build it myself. this is the 6th one I have built, the oldest one is 24 years old this year.
