Has anyone built a deer blind on top of running gear. This is fairly common down here. I bought a small hay wagon recently, 6’x10′. If you have done so I am asking for pictures and suggestions. I appreciate your help. Gonna be nice to hunt in comfort and take naps.

They all have 2×4 framing with home quality construction. Don’t get wasps or insects in the off season. Being dk brown they warm up quick when the sun comes out. Lots of afternoons in uninsulated clothes and tennis shoes.

Worst problem is staying awake when rain is hitting the metal roof and it’s nice and dry and warm inside. Almost never use a heat source. Can’t find inside pictures. But several hours sitting in it during the build. Shelves cup holder and hooks in perfect spots. Now I use the small one and have given the big on to my buddy for him and his daughter. 2×6 windowsills with a pad are a perfect bench rest.

They still will blow down in strong wind if too tall. Trees also become an issue when moving. Used the “pentagon” style plastic and a muddy on the other. My suggestion is dont use redi pannels, the dang birds put holes in mine! I am using tin next time.
Yes, warm in daytime, but they cool off quickly!August 5, 2023 at 7:24 pm #2217698I think the lazy boy will fit in that
If it were not for the mice I would for sure have a recliner in my condo. I am setting this bad boy up for comfort. Even have a camp toilet for going poo.

Dad has one, but yes big enough for Dad and me. The hay wagon I bought is 6’x10′. I can put a pretty good sized club house on top of that.
