Anybody ever build duck blinds out of wooden pallets ??

Yep. Pre mudboat days. Pallet or two on marsh. Use 1x1s for corners. Surround with chicken wire. Then hide it with bushes or Roseau cane

Used to do it all the time. They last for a few years. We would put them on levees or in places we wanted to try out before building a big fancy blind in the wrong spot. We would get a couple with very small spacings for the floor. then drive 4 wood posts at the corners of the blind. For walls Run a 2x between the posts and screw the pallets to it. Wire mesh on the outside to hold brushing. You can make a 3-4 man blind in 20 mins with a couple guys.

Yeah until some crackhead ran a disk over it. Used cattle panel and some army net camo. Mofo was invisible...to mallards and crackheads.

Not bad for a blind to get a year out of like M Master said. We use 5/4 decking boards on 2x4 runners. That way we know it will last in the marsh and don’t have to deal with the spacing on the floors. You know you will always drop things in the cracks. Lol

This is how we’ve always done it. You get a year or two out of them then deck boards start breaking through. At that point we just drop a piece of plywood on top. Had the same pallet blind on my lease now for three seasons

A few of our blinds have pallet bases. Not the cheap basic ones, we get industrial equipment sent on really nice pallets. Seal them and they last a few seasons.

We just stick myrtles into the marsh then pull the boat into the brush. Boom - nice boat blind that lasts a year or two. No need to reinvent the wheel here.
