I left an expensive popup out for too long once and it was history. plus, I like the idea of being able to make these fully enclosed, semi-enclosed, or just "panel" style, depending on my needs.

i'm also not much of a builder/tinkerer, but I like the idea of doing this. plus, I think the savings (even though that's not really the main goal) comes in being able to make and have multiple setups.

Dang mice chewed holes in my popup a couple years ago...

Bloodtrailer. .  I am gonna make a wild guess that the deer won't know if it is on its bottom, or top, or side.  Place it next to or near enough to bales, cover with the same white material and you got a blind !

Good deal. I`ve seen one made with 10 pieces of pvc before with camo canvas . Fella had stakes drove in the ground in a circle then put the ends of the pvc over the stakes making a tent frame. tied them together at the top with a wire tie and draped the canvas over tieing it in place. about 35 bucks in it.RC

Very nice!

Very cool, if I didnt live in a theft zone I would have them all over. But the hunter/thieves would have them dismantled and gone overnight.I may make a practice one for the yard.

topping this as well, for my "really gonna do it this time" summer project.

I've seen them made with a tarp covering the top and sides.

That wouldn't last a week where I hunt. It would get legs fast.

I used some old canvas dropcloths on the one i built.I made a wood door frame,hooked each end of the cattle panel to it.Mine is going on four years now.Nice and dry inside,when its raining.

I like the idea.  I will use that tall growing landscape grass that grows to like 10' to brush one in may take a year for it to grow but will be great when it's done.

Ttt, figured I'd bring this one back up since our deer season is just around the corner. Now that we have some cooler weather I'm going to try to do one of these on a 30 acre tract I've got permission to hunt.

I made two this year (from Bisch's pics). I'm 6'6", and shooting 68" LB, so wanted extra height. I bought 3 panels, cut one in half lengthwise and added each half to one of the others for an extra 18". I used brown outdoor carpet. Total cost for two was around $350 +/-.
I set this one up for spring turkey.



And this one I set up Friday for deer season.
