All the tarps I have used break down in sunlight. Started using silt fence, doesn't degrade, last forever and I can get used silt fence from job sites that are finished. Need to hot cut the lengths or it will unravel. You can also just wrap around a 1x1 and nail it on so it doesn't unravel. Really like the pallet idea
I made something similar for one person 4x4 ISH.. The following year I kept hearing noises under it. I lifted/tilted one HOT Texas afternoon and found a nesting site for about 20/30 copperhead snakes that were not happy when I moved 'THEIR' shelter. No more stands on the ground for me. Need at leats a foot of elevation to keep the critters out!!
Holy crap!!! Yeah I hear ya, fortunately we don't have that issue here in the great white north, we just freeze for 6 months of the year. LOL Thanks for watching!
Hi Dave I like your videos. I have a 1970 international 624 diesel tractor. I have to do the brakes and the PTO clutch doesn't let the lever engage. It engages with the engine off then when I start the engine the PTO runs all the time, Please I need some help. Thanks Ron
Thank you I appreciate your support! The 624 has a 2 stage pressure plate, for some reason your PTO clutch is not releasing. It could be that the disk is stuck to the pressure plate, the pressure plate or linkage is out of adjustment, or a piece of the linkage such as the release bearing forks is broken. I don't remember but there may be an inspection plate on the bottom of the clutch housing where you can look in and see the pressure plate and see what is going on. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Mine are out in the woods so fairly sheltered but they still flap. If you have it out for a couple of weeks so the animals get used to it it won't be a problem. Thanks for watching!
Kinda's refreshing to see a deer blind get built rather simply, rather than framed like you construct a three car garage... ! A little more care and a few more dollars [ U.S. or Canadian ] and you could cover with 0SB rather than tarps though. Tarps break down rapidly and require continual replacement. $5.oo x 3 = $15 , the cost of a 4'×8'. I prefer mine a little more airtight with a complete plywood floor. A single sheet of plywood would be more noisy, drafty and you'd constantly be losing items through the space; seems like that would be a P.I.T.A. . I like the ability to heat my blinds, but I don't require fancy windows or doors.
Now I know why Mike Holmes from the show Holmes on Homes has made millions in Canada. If y’all build houses like you do deer blinds, you really do need a guy like Mike to Make it Right. Lmfao

That is a great tip, thanks!

I missed what it looks like with the tarp attached
I used a green tarp, so much the same but greener. :) Thanks for watching!

Well I know what to do with all the pallets my shipments come in with. Thanks for the video I will be trying this out
A lot more useful than a wall shelf or coffee table right! LOL Thanks for watching!
How do you keep the tarps quiet on windy days? Especially the plastic tarps.

...... you're very welcome !
Fantastic concept you have.
My husband used these plans from woodprix and he's very satisfied.
Awesome, I'm glad he found it useful. Thanks, for watching!
Thanks for the good idea
You're very welcome, I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
There are projects on how to do this on the Stodoys plans website.
