Title: Hunting blind, or, Back to the drawing board.
Post by: Weekend_Sawyer on May 30, 2011, 11:56:05 AM

High winds and not enough cross bracing took out my delux hunting blind.
I used hurricane straps to hold the roof on but only cross braced the stilts with 1x2s.
Of course I thought "mabe I should use 2x4s..."

I'll bet, with the help of some guys on the corners, you could put it back up there.  :D
