Sea-r-cy (2/17/2010)We usually just use a piece of plex-glass in a sliding groove. Quiet, cheap, and pretty water tight unless it's really blowing. Windows don't need to be very big, 8-12" tall. Sea-r-cy
thats actually a really good idea that i havent thought of. even more water tight if you put a small rainshield over the windows. im still gonna look into real windows cause of the warmth aspect but ill keep that in mind! thanks everyone that replied
Same here regarding the plexiglass. You have two grooved (like the female end of tongue and grooved flooring) pieces of plastic on each side and we tie a pull rope to the top of the plexi and pull it up and down and tie it off on a nail/screw in the open position as needed. Also added foam strips with the adhesive on the back around the edges and on the bottom of the window so the plexi is more insulated while in the closed position and trust me there is drastic difference in the temp when that little plexi window is open and closed. I like that set up cuz you can leave it closedon those cold mornings and they are very quiet and easy to open when deer appear. We used the tinted plexi for added camo.
I have done the same but instead of them swinging open, you make them slide back and forth in a groove made by your two upper and bottom seals. Really draft free, and quiet, and I have put a buddy heater in one and have literally about run myself out of there because of it getting too hot.
