Thank you for such an amazing video! We get customers mentioning this all of the time! We love customers like you who take the time to review us! It’s incredible that our company was the first around to use real glass, started with 3 employees and have grown over the past 35 years!! Thanks again for your amazing video!
Sure thing guys. I'm just trying to help people make informed decisions, and hope people do the same for me when I am considering a purchase. All the best to you.
I thoroughly enjoy your personality. Hunting season is still going in Virginia and it is bitterly cold now. I have 11 ladder stands and two box blinds on my 245 acres. I’m getting older by the minute and I find that I’m enjoying the box blinds a lot more during the bitter cold. I watched your video for the second time to get the name of the window company and found myself enjoying thoughts. I appreciate you.
Hey David, thank you. So happy for you, 245 acres is a blessing! Hope you're having a great seaon, all the best to you.
I bought and installed these windows in three blinds early last fall before hunting season and they work great. Easy to install , quiet, clear and air tight. I bought the 36 x 10's without the magnets and they were only $37.00 each. I just ordered another 4 for our last blind that we are setting up. Air tight and makes a huge difference.
Took a beautiful 10pt opening morning and he never heard me open the window.
Great Product, Good investment and the staff there were easy to work with and very prompt on getting my windows shipped which they came intact wrapped with styro peanuts and none were damaged.
Hey Keith, thanks for the feedback! This will help others make a decision as they consider their window design in their next blind. You guys are blind building machines! All the best to you.
The problem with "air tight" anything in a blind is what are you using for heat? If you don't have a way for the gasses to escape they just might find you permanently asleep! I have a Mr. Heater and I made sure the top has openings between the vertical sides and the roof that I can see through with about 1/4". It gets roasty toasty warm enough that I can remove my coat and still watch out the windows without a problem. Now if only there were deer walking within 300 yards for me besides these little babies I keep seeing!
Hey Keith! Thanks for the comment! We would love to see your blinds with our windows! If you have a video or pictures please send them our way!! Thanks!
I just found your channel. I live in SW Michigan. Your Information was very pertinent to the blind I use for hunting. Good job on all your videos.
Hey Craig, welcome to the channel and thank you for the encouraging words. All the best to you.
Only thing I'd do is glue a small piece of thin felt on the metal catch above the window.
When you lift it up it clunks on the magnet , a deer can hear that , but your blind, your show....take care.
Hey Murray, agreed. There is a "snap" when we open the windows. We have plenty of distance and time to open the windows in this particular blind, so don't need to quiet them. But for sure, if you could have them close by the time you need to open the window, a piece of felt or maybe even just masking tape would silence the "snap". All the best to you.
I find that if you put peppermint oil on about a dozen cotton balls and place them in corners on the floor and up about 1/2 way or higher and there will be no spiders, bugs, wasps, mice or anything! Works fantastic. just remove them about a few weeks before hunting season and air out the blind. I haven't had a problem.
Hey Dennis, haven't tried that one yet. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea, all the best to you.
I just found your channel. I hit all the buttons. You have a lot of great ideas for hunting which have been enjoying!! God bless
Thank you for the kind words!
SeesdsandArrowsFrontier ,
Well Said , I did the same thing this morning with this channel... Best of luck Huntin this year..👍👍
@@theback40 Good Morning , Thanks for the great ideas and tips.
New subscriber today and I'm enjoying your videos..👍👍
@@pkope6849 Thank you! I'm not a pro, but just trying to share what I have learned to help anyone willing to listen. Wishing you all the best.
@@theback40 Thank You Sir...👍👍
Great product!!! Would buy again.
Good to hear, I've had them for a couple years now, and still think they're great, would use them again.
Thanks for posting this video. a big help.
Glad it helped
It's really nice I'm not going to deny that I just wish you would have figured out a way to put a sliding screen camouflage screen or something in there to keep the bugs out and when you're needing air when it's hot other than that nice
Hey Clay, didn't even think about that one. We are normally hunting up here when it is cold and don't need to open the windows. We're usually trying to stay warm! But a spring turkey hunt or early season bow hunt, you are right, it might be warm and buggy. Maybe glue some magnets on some screen cut to size would work? Good luck this season!
Those magnets that hold the window open... did I hear a click noise when the magnets grabbed the window? If it’s dead silent that’s bad. If A guy glued a piece of felt to the magnets would they still be strong enough to hold the window open?
Yes, good catch, they do grab and make a click. I just went out there put a piece of duct tape on the magnet and it still held it up in position without the click. Felt would probably be even better.
What about Velcro ?
@@williammegow8780 That might work too? Not sure if it would be too thick and the magnet wouldn't hold?
I would rather have the window flipped down towards the bottom of the stand. I’m in the area where those magnets would make way too much noise.
Hey Gilbert, must be a great blind location you have there! All the best to you.
We can punch the drain holes so they flip down if you would like! 😊
You didn’t specify if it’s glass or plexiglass?
Oh crap, can't believe I forgot to mention this, ugh. It's glass, which I really like because I have found plexi to scratch and fade over the years. All the best to you.
Hey Mark, what are you using as floor covering?? Any cheap suggestions?
I lucked into some used interlocking foam floor mats that they use in a home gym or kids play area. Got them really cheap, I think at a Goodwill store???? They work pretty well. Otherwise, I was using old carpet before that. All the best to you
Are use the carpet squares you can buy at any convenience store. If you recommend just replace one of the square carpet Pieces
I’m curious if they fog up if you run a propane heater in the blind. I made my own and they work really well but they do fog up and I have not found any way to stop it. Thanks for your input.
Yes, they fog with propane. Not sure if you have seen this video yet, might help with the fogging issue: ruclips.net/video/KF0zboFhdFA/видео.html
Spray the windows with WD-40
New sub here sir. Have you done a review/tour of this blind? Inside and out? I would love to see one..
Hey Robert, haven't done a deep dive on that blind yet, but this has some info: ruclips.net/video/WLevwXDbCUU/видео.html
Will they work with a 2x2 stud and t1-11 say 2 1/4 thickness wall??
Hey Eugene, yes, they basically just fit flush to any depth wall. The one thing we missed was the clearance to swing the window all the way up when opening, we had to cut back the studs for clearance so they could swing all the way up. The 2x2 studs might already be perfect for that issue and you won't have to make any adjustments. All the best to you.
@@theback40 my window opening depth is 2 1/4 Inches question is will the windows open fully if not I'll redo the openings as I'm thinking ng of lowering the windows to 39 inches to the bottom of window
@@theback40 I bought deluxe hinged windows from deer view windows.48"x14".
Can you tell me the foot print to that blind? and what size windows you have in the front and on the sides?
The footprint is 10'x10', porch is 3', so the inside is nominally 7'x10'. Windows are all the same size at 42" x 11".
@@theback40 do you find that big enough for two average size adults?
@@dhamilton201 Yes, plenty of room. Would be comfortable for three full size adults.
What is the inside width of the blind and the window width? I see you have 2 windows across the front.
96" wide across the front, the two windows are 42" each.
Did you look into the sliding window?
Hey Scott, I did, but I need the whole width of the opening for a crossbow and camera to fit. Sliding would be great, but just not for my needs. All the best to you.
great info thanks, what size did you make your blind?
Hey Tom, it’s 8’ x 6’ inside. Hope you are having a great season!
Thank you brother! Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
What about the reflection of the window when it’s closing
Hey William, that has never been an issue for us. Has it happened to you?
@@theback40 camo window film.
I like the windows and was wondering if they could be installed vertically for archery season ? Thanks
That's a good question. I think it would be okay, but my only concern is the drainage around the frame if it rains, I'm not sure the short ends have any? I would suggest contacting them to see what they say. Here is a link to their website: www.thedeerblindwindow.com/contact.html
@@theback40 Good idea... thank you
If you let us know that you are wanting to mount them as bow windows then we can make sure they have drain holes on the ends!
Is that magnet sound loud enough to scare the deer?
Hey Adam, it probably wouldn't spook a deer unless they were within 10 yards or so. Someone else noticed that, too, so I tested putting a piece of masking tape over it and it still held the window up and took the "click" out of it pretty well.
Go Blue!
Yes, GO BLUE!!
I’m sold
LOL. Good luck!
Does the inside sweat or fog up when you run heat?
Hey Bill, good question. Depends on the heat source and outside temperature. They are NOT double pane insulated windows like in your house, they are single pane, so propane heaters will fog them up. But wood does not fog them up. If you haven't already, check out the "Best way to heat your deer blind" video on this channel for some thoughts to help on this subject. All the best to you!
