Gravity wagon blind- Just Getting Started

[LYON]

You are making quick work of that baby! Looking great!

Looks pretty nice and will be fun to hunt out of.

Raining today after work. Insulated "in the dry". Can't do much else.

Better be careful or pretty soon you'll have squatters.

Don't forget about shelves and even hooks to hang backpack, coats or whatever to keep them from under your feet. I made my window ledges a little bigger to support one of those smaller shooting bags from Cabelas. Gun rest by each window is nice to have to support your gun while it's leaning up.

Is there a finished view of the blind?

 

[IowaBowHunter1983]

All done. Can post inside pics tomorrow. Beer-thirty time

Old I know but am I the only one who can't see the pics anymore?

I can't see them either. Thanks for finding this thread tho

You can thank photo bucket for the pic issue. The wagon blind has been an absolute killing machine!

Added curtains this past year which I really like. Can probably dig up the progress photos if needed. A must have to the arsenal in my opinion.

That turned out sweet!!! I want one!!!!

I see them all out of gravity wagons. Not really any out of flare or wooden barge wagons. Pry over thinking but not sure the deer actually care either way. ‍

If ya still have the photos they would be appreciated. Looking at building one this summer. What did you end up doing for.lowering center of gravity? Anything?

Ok. I will see what I can do. I didn't do anything for weight. It has seen 70 mph winds, no issue.

This is awesome! I would love to see the progress pictures as well.

Does it make much noise when moving around inside the blind? Did you do anything to help muffle the sound?

No it doesn't make any more or less noise than any normal box blind. It is insulated so that helps. I could only track down one old photo. It's really simple though. Drop in a false bottom and build like a normal blind from there. Fasten a ledger board to wagon, stand 2x6 joists on it, deck it with plywood and your deck is done. Could easily build whole thing in a day.
