[@hikingfish3]

GREAT video. Love the window tips at the end.

[@36wvu]

Thanks for watching! It’s a great build for the cost for sure!

[@TheYeti308]

Yeah ; I have been mulling over a new shanty , it needs to be able to be camo'ed in , not into a concession stand type . The bale blind seems to tick a lot of boxes for me anyways . Will glean the good ideas from some and incorporate into my build . Nice Job ; @ T2K . ! 👍

[@36wvu]

Absolutely! I did the exact thing. Watch a little bit of everything and then used some of my own creativity! Thanks for watching !

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

thats a heck of a blind, very nice, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@36wvu]

Thanks for watching!

@@36wvu can you use pond liner instead of plastic sheeting?

[@36wvu]

I’m sure you prob can, how thick is that stuff?

[@anthonykontos7931]

@@36wvuwhat’s the dimensions of this build? How wide is this bulid? How round is the diameter of the bale ?

[@36wvu]

Roughly 5 1/2 ft wide by 7 1/2 ft long ….diameter prob 6 1/2 ft

My friend went to a ton of work making one of these. Luckily, he had the foresight to put up a barbed wire fence around it about 20’ out. A tight 3 strand has kept the cows off it. And it’s not setting near any real bales. Which when the cows can get to they will destroy them.

[@36wvu]

No cows where I have it so I’m safe there lol

[@anthonykontos7931]

@@36wvuwhat is the rough estimate of how much this cost to build?

[@36wvu]

Roughly $400 - $500 but I had some stuff already so maybe a little more

[@anthonykontos7931]

@@36wvu not bad at all love your design, I want to make a big one for this year. Opening archery was last Saturday for me, I plan to use epdm sheeting instead of plastic

[@36wvu]

@@anthonykontos7931 not sure exactly what that is, guessing it’s waterproof? That’s the great thing about these, you can customize it to your liking!

[@870wingmstr]

Could use silage bag remnants. Ask a farmer if you can buy a piece. Heavy plastic that's black on one side and white on the other. The white plastic wrapped bales are everywhere now. Just put the white side out and don't bother with the hay / erosion blanket. Fast and cheap.

[@36wvu]

Yea that’s true, good idea!!!

[@walterquick8649]

SWEET!! beats 5 to 10 grand on those being marketed !! I swear some folks must have cash to burn

[@36wvu]

Yea for real and most are just plastic or aluminum, it’s definitely got it’s money worth these last two seasons! Thanks for watching!

[@mtreese9412]

How hot does that get in the early season? I've been in blinds and it's like a sauna. You come out having lost 10 lbs in water!

[@36wvu]

I gotta be honest I thought the same thing but when I hunted in it in early oct and 2 front windows open, I was completely comfortable plus I wore a black T-shirt as well so that helped

[@MrStain73]

Can you drop a link to where you can get the straw cover please?

[@36wvu]

Ordered it online from Home Depot…..erosion blanket, they delivered it to house

[@jawadmajeedahmed6933]

Get it!

[@staxats96]

sweet - how much does it weigh? prob staying wherever its going for the season right? throw some dolly wheels on there maybe?

[@36wvu]

Well with most of it being wire it’s not that heavy, i usually move it with a dolly and a 6x12 trailer…..thanks for watching!

[@howardburgess6548]

Good video I love hey Bill blinds getting ready to build me two more. One thing you might want to try use some rolled rubber roofing very expensive if you have to buy it from a company but you can find it all the time on Facebook marketplace. But the blind will last a lifetime and you don't have to worry about the plastic being replaced. Just your grass every so often. Best blinds out there for bow hunting Fields hands down.

[@BobSchick]

@@howardburgess6548 Or used billboard canvas!

[@TNTfiredawg]

do you have any issues with wasp getting in and making nest?

[@36wvu]

This summer we did find a small nest so we sprayed and had no troubles after

[@jamesdodson9417]

How has the blind held up so far ?

[@36wvu]

Every year I’ve had to touch up the straw but no leaks and it’s made it through storms with no problem….best money ever spent lol

[@kennyd2134]

Fence staples

[@36wvu]

Yes fence staples

[@nelsons8626]

Can't wait to make one out of a unusable plastic tank an incorporate your ideal

[@36wvu]

Awesome man show me pics when done!

@@36wvu just came across this how long did you leave it out for deer to get used to it?
