my new blind

Finally finished and put in place. It worked great, only thing I would do different would be to put the wheels a little further back. I am trying to come up with some plans that will allow me to raise and lower the blind for moving so I can make it taller. Didn't really need it that tall were I put this one. Maybe I will have it figured out by next year.

Cool, how come you took the wheels off, I would think they could help keep it stable ???

Team Hillbilly the blind is supported by the four disk on each corner. With them down the wheels are a few inches off the ground, plus those are wheels off some of our farm equipment just used them to get it to its location.

Yes Sir I saw the other pictures you posted, just tried the outrigger plates a few years ago, and had a little trouble with the wind, also would make moving a short ways much quicker. Good looking blind




What would you take for it

I like, its very creative with the disk and what not. I had a similiar blind but it had bull dog jacks in each corner, it got expensive.

if you had it to do over would you put the wheels back on the far outrigger legs?? that looks like a more reasonable place..it might creat a better rest on your tongue versus kinda teetery....i still really like the design and will definitely build one like it eventually

Caprocker, I would only move the wheels back maybe a foot from were they are now. I think if you put them on the back it would be way to much weight on the tongue.
