[QUOTE="KDM, post: 185926, member: 314"] I posted some about these blinds a while back, but IMO, these blinds need some pretty good mods to be where I would want a blind. The floors are LOUD LOUD LOUD when you move anything as they are hard plastic and transmit every scrape and ping so carpet is a must on the floors and even the walls to be honest here. The hinges are weak at the doors and windows so when the blind gets exposed to heat/cold cycles and begin to warp a bit, they ALL SQUEEK when used and don't seal so heat escapes and cold and wet get in. The next problem is that the doors won't close properly and the locking mechanism will fail to keep the door closed so you end up jerry rigging something to keep the door closed. The area inside is just barely big enough to accomodate one hunter and gear and when you attempt to bring your rifle up and out a window, the space is relatively confined. Hunting two is quite the dance. Morning frost on both sides of the windows is a real possibility and your breath inside the blind will exacerbate the problem on some mornings and with the window and door problems, it becomes even more challenging. These are also NOT very heavy so wind moves them around quite a bit from what I've experienced. If I were to put a permanent blind out, I would build it out of wood, use carpet, and windows designed for houses or pay to have one built for me. IMO, a blind like that would be much more quiet, comfotable, and enjoyable to be in than a plasic box. Hope this helps. Good Luck!!! [/QUOTE]
