What kind of seating are you going with?
I put an old computer chair in mine, it's comfortable and quiet, swivels.
I also put in a padded folding chair. When I'm alone I fold it up and lean it against the wall, when someone else comes along I can pop it up and have seating for 2.

I'm doing the same, old computer chair and folding chairs. Indoor outdoor carpet to keep it quiet.

A while ago there was a ridiculous thread about blinds on hay trailers needing to be jacked up off the ground to be legal. Hopefully that was found not to be the case, even though someone quoted a CO as saying it was in fact required.

If required I can put it on blocks, it wont be moving except when I'm planting food plots. I really built this for my sons to use with their kids to teach them how to hunt. I use a climber exclusively.

Put in the sliding windows and painted the outriggers today. Forgot my expanding foam to seal the cracks but I can do that later next week when I go up.

Definitely putting in a propane heater and a funnel to answer the call of nature, other than that and carpet on the floor I'm going to call it done. It pulled easy with my polaris ranger. I do get wifi up on the hill where I hunt. LOL.

How are you going to anchor it?

The outrigger 2x4s you see hold it in place without any issue's. I have threaded bolts with wingnuts to remove them when its being towed. They really work well in steadying it with hardly no sway. I put it in my open field for a week where I know the wind blows and the outriggers worked liked I thought they would. I plan on brushing it in with branches and sticks to make it blend in.

Is it going to stay on the trailer all the time or will it be standing on it's own.

Update on blind, did the spray foam inside and out and painted it. Cut my carpet piece and ready to install funnel. Going to move to where it needs to be for the season next week. Food plot it’s going on is 1 acre.

Nicely done, I would definitely put something in the back glass like a black curtain or something to hide your silhouette, other than that definitely something to take pride in.

I have followed your project from the beginning and I think it's very smart of you to build a blind like this to hunt in comfort. I just wanted to tell you that on my way home from Lake Erie this past weekend I saw a blind just about like yours with 4 support arms like yours toppled onto it's side. This blind was not on a trailer but it appeared to be about the same height, I have never seen this blind in the years past so it must have been placed there this past fall. One of our site members had his blind topple this spring and by what I remember seeing of it you would never have expected that to happen. ANCHOR it real good!

I just noticed your tree pattern on the blind almost matches the tree pattern to the left on the bottom picture. Awesome.
