The blinds
How tall is the ceiling?
Seven feet, in every size. The name of the blind comes from its width, not its height. A hunter at full draw is the same height in a 5 Foot as in a 7 Foot, so the ceiling does not shrink when the footprint does.
How many windows are there?
One in every panel. Eight in the 5 Foot, ten in the 6 Foot, twelve in the 7 Foot. Every one of them is 14.5 × 26 inches, tinted, on a quiet vertical slide.
Which size should I buy?
Count the people. One hunter: 5 Foot. Two people, or one person and a camera: 6 Foot — that is the most popular. Two adults plus a kid plus gear: 7 Foot.
The ceiling and the windows are the same across the range. After size, the choices are Classic or Deluxe and, on the 6 Foot, side entry or bottom entry.
Classic or Deluxe?
Both share the exact same core design. Same panels, same seven-foot insulated ceiling, same PVC roof, and both feature a fully carpeted interior. The Deluxe upgrades to insulated walls and a better, quieter, double-pane window system. This keeps the blind warmer in winter, helps reduce fogging, and makes it significantly quieter. What it adds to the price depends on the model and the entry. Right now it is $375 on the 5 Foot, $420 on the 6 Foot side entry, $405 on the 6 Foot bottom entry and $375 on the 7 Foot. The full comparison, with current prices.
Are the windows loud?
They are vertical slides, not hinges, which is the whole reason we use them. Keep the tracks clean and run every window up and down once before the season and they stay that way. Grit in the track is what makes any slide start talking.
Can you see in from outside?
The glass is tinted and the interior is carpeted in dark grey, so the inside reads as a dark hole from the field. Movement against a bright window behind you is still movement — the fix is the same as it always was, which is to not stand in front of the wrong window.
What is on the roof?
An insulated deck under a durable PVC commercial roof membrane — the same material that goes on a flat commercial roof. A blind roof is a flat commercial roof that happens to be in the woods.
Getting one
Do you ship?
Yes. $350 flat, anywhere in the lower 48, for the 5 Foot and 6 Foot kits. Each additional blind on the same order adds $200. Start a delivery.
Why can't I buy the 7 Foot online?
It does not fit on a box truck. A twelve-sided blind that measures 93 inches point to point does not break down into anything that ships on a flat rate, at any price. It is sold through dealers instead. Ask your dealer about delivery and setup. The 7 Foot.
Is it cheaper to pick it up at a dealer?
You skip the $350 freight, yes. More importantly you get to stand in one first. Some dealers deliver and set up locally. Ask yours what they offer and what it costs. Find the closest one.
Do you deliver to Alaska or Hawaii?
Not on the flat rate. Call (814) 795-9011 and we will find out what it actually costs instead of guessing at it on a web page.
How long is the lead time?
It depends on the season — late summer is the busy end of the year. Call or start a delivery and we will give you a real date rather than a range designed to cover us.
Can I pay a deposit or finance it?
Deposits and split payments exist, and several dealers offer financing. None of it fits neatly behind a checkout button, so call us or ask your dealer.
Towers and setup
Do I have to buy your tower?
No. Every floor ships with 4×4 post pockets, so a lot of owners build their own out of pressure-treated lumber. We also sell an aluminum tower and a trailer kit with a 5' tower. Both are for side entry blinds only and are sold through dealers. Towers & Accessories.
How long does assembly take?
An afternoon. Two people, an impact driver, a socket set, a level and a step ladder. Post pockets are built into the floor and every screw is pre-started before it leaves the shop. The full walkthrough.
Can one person do it?
You can, but do not. A wall panel is a sail and a gust on a half-built blind is the only genuinely dangerous part of this job. Get a second person and pick a calm day.
How do you get in?
It depends on the model. The 5 Foot is side entry only: a door in one panel, because the floor is too small for a hatch. The 6 Foot comes side entry or bottom entry, which is a hatch in the floor, and you pick when you order. A bottom entry blind has the hatch only, with no side door. The 7 Foot comes either way through a dealer. The door panel has a window in it, so a side entry blind still has a window in every panel.
Can I move it later?
Yes — it comes apart the way it went together. If you know you will be moving it every year, look at the trailer kit (5' tower, side entry blinds only) instead and skip the disassembly entirely.
Owning one
What is the warranty?
See the warranty page. Short version: call us. We built the thing, we know which screw you are describing, and nobody has ever had to fill in a form to get an answer out of us.
Do I need to do anything to it each year?
Take the time to run every window, wipe the tracks, check the ladder is tight and look at the ground under the legs. Frost heave moves posts. Maintenance.
Can I get replacement parts?
Yes — glass, window hardware, a panel if something catastrophic happens. Call (814) 795-9011 with what broke and roughly when you bought it.
