Thanks. Im not sure of the total cost. 10' 1 5/8" steel studs run $3.79 ea. The windows were on sale I paid $28 ea. The platform was probably one of the more expensive parts. Treated ply wood is expensive. Now the external steel believe it or not I have $20 in all of it. I have a friend in the steel building business. They almost always have steel laying in the scrap yard. The recycle price is so low right now I can buy that cheap. The insulation sheets can be expensive I found these on Craigslist they were being sold cheap by a machine shop. They are 1" fiberglass panels with cloth on side and foil on the other. Another nice feature of the steel studs is they fit right in them.Great build! Thanks for sharing! Wish I could do something like this, looks super slick! Very practical too. When all said and done, how much does each box blind cost? Let's not include 4x4 legs or elevators.

I will see if I have more pics of the roof. It is a steel stud frame including the over hang. I left the steel long on the ends and a duck billed pliers and rubber mallet folded those over. The sides hung over about 10 inches over the frame, Those I laid on the platform for strength and pounded them over with the rubber mallet. The under side of the over hang got soffit just like a house. It extends into the interior some but didn't matter. The way the steel roofing is ribbed I left one full rib (about a foot) over lap. when I lay those in I lay some steel roofing sealant on the bottom one then lay the top one over it. On the inside I use a 2 1/2" steel stud to tie the 2 together. I use angle iron or scrap steel studs around the rest of the roof interior and to attach the walls to the platform. I screw the panels together at the corners. One other thing I do that adds strength is I leave the steel siding hang down on the bottom about 4". Then that lap gets screwed to the platform.if you can please provide pics of your roof. you know what you are doing! looks great. love the crimped metal roof for the overhang. That had to suck! :) looks awesome.
The best pic of the roof I have right now is the one where it is loaded on the trailer. The 2 top panels are the roof.if you can please provide pics of your roof. you know what you are doing! looks great. love the crimped metal roof for the overhang. That had to suck! :) looks awesome.
