Plans for a pit blind?

Postby ColMuldrow » Mon Feb 08, 2010 6:09 pm

Anybody ever built a pit blind or had one built by a welder? My buddies and I want to build and/or design it ourselves. Anybody got any plans or designs or know where we can get some?

I would go look at a few atleast on the net and price what I wanted, then price the build. If your going to use a tank make sure you put big enough span on the legs. I have heard of them rolling once in the ground.

This guy has a few different styles on his site, and they do custom pits. Hope it helps.

From what we have had built for us the price has been around $100 per running foot on length and width. IE 8' long x 4' wide = $1200 or in that range.

Your best bet is to draw out what you want and then just have someone build it.

Good luck!
