That is a very nice looking blind. If possible, see if you can make the interior color black. It would help a little bit.

Usually(if I think they can see me) I'll just roll the window down and stick the gun out . Or with the camo netting(in last pix.), just shoot through it.

Very cool design. Is that pex tubing you used for the arches? If so, how did you attach the wood slats to the tubing? Maybe Zip ties?
Good looking blind great job.

The base is made of (4) 2x2s .52" And 72" long. Holes were drilled in the (2) 72" long 2X2s every 12" for the 1/2"X10 Ft. PVC tubing (ribs). Used TONS of zip-ties for fasteners.
ill take some more pix of it.

And in some places I used 90 pound braided fishing line to secure for wind and to take up some slack in the tarp & camo .The whole idea was to make it as strong,lightweight,waterproof, as possible.

This mornings assemblage of scraps and remnants.
Cost = nothing, except for the scraps and remnants of other projects; irrigation pipe sch.40 1/2" pvc pipe and fittings, 6'x6'shade cloth from patio cover redo.
The PVC pipe mostly came from an earlier version that was taken apart once the ground squirrels had disappeared.
With the GS rodents, I had the blind built as a two part blind of equal sections, so that I had a really broad 'view angle of wider than 90º.
It wrapped around the patio cover post in a 90º wrap around.
Rodents view:
anyway,.... this took up my time from about 7:30am, to 9am
The hardest part was the zip-ties.
It is still a work in progress. I'm probably going to add a curtain to it.
This is the original patio blind from perhaps 2018/19
And, when I needed to follow the rodents outward to where they came from, i used this portable lean-up blind:
Then I got to a point where I ended up building more of a fort than a blind, the Western Outpost .
