[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4111661, member: 15054"] I have built 2 permanent ones steel roofs on both.. those are noisy when acorns fall on them or sticks. Lots of echo in a steel one. Carpet is a must have even on walls and ceiling for quietness. But make it so mice can't get into it and make nests behind the carpet. You can score free carpet easy enough. Pallets work very well for building the floor and a deck at the door you can stand on to open the door and walk inside. The door does not need to be but 5 foot tall or so. Just bend down and go in. Now 4 foot wide will not be near wide enough. If you try to move around with a bow or long gun you will dink things and that makes noise. Windows were in all of mine that would slide open and some would tilt up to open. You can make those easy enough or find windows for cheap or free many times. Or maybe it is just me that can find cheap or free stuff. Red cedar trees were cut and trimmed to make legs for my last one. 6 x8 foot inside and I was told that it is not a good hunting blind at all by my buddies uncle. He said it was too comfy inside and you just end up going to sleep in it. This one is strapped to a nearby oak tree and a near by cedar tree. So not going to fall over. I might have a window [/QUOTE]
