I just bought a farm and there are at least 10 of these tanks sitting around. I have been thinking about what to do with them. I was going to sell them but now I will be making a few blinds. thanks for the idea.
Nice job. Mine son just started one of these projects. Your idea of cutting out the floor is probably the best way to go. I assume your floor was not flat at all like his. I like the shooting table idea too
Big tank to paint. What did you use for paint and did it adhere? I'd hate to spray paint that much. I have a 1650 gal tank I need to paint. Sherwin Williams is telling me due to poly I'd have to try this Extreme Bond Primer that is very expensive. They said paint a 2' square with it and come back a week later and see if it sticks. I don't feel like spending $500 painting this tank that I bought for $390. Thank you.
I just used regular paint. It does not stick well and touch ups will be needed but if you don't mess with it and ding it up, 95% of it will be fine. Mine took a while to dry but it was cold.
I like it... ideal size, not too heavy, portable, waterproof, not too expensive, .... do the sliding windows make much noise ? how much did the tank cost you ? love this idea ... thanks for sharing 👍🏻
@@tjsfarmandfamily I just had a friend give me one and I am going to use your ideas to make my own. I have to drive about 6 hrs round trip to get it but I think the gas down there is worth it being free other than that
Awesome idea... I've been looking at them for the last 2 weeks for next year. Out of curiosity why did you cut the floor out? When you did it I thought oh' nooooo... The reason I say that is because a few weeks ago I was reaching down and flipped up my carpet with my hand to grab some toilet paper that was in the corner and ran my fingers right over the top of a coiled up rattlesnake.... Scared the living tar out of me.... From now on I will make sure everything is sealed where a snake can't get in. So back to my question, why did you cut the floor out? What reason so that I can maybe have a better understanding of why I should Also when I build mine. Nevertheless great job, looks Great...😊
My floor was higher in the middle, so every time I moved my feet, it would make a very large sound. I still don't have it in a permanent location but when I do I'm going to fasten it to a wood floor and then fill the gaps around the edge with foam or something similar because I'm getting lots of mice. I'm also going to make the door with a frame because the plastic warps and leave gaps over time. I don't have many rattle snakes, hence the mice!
nice, but what was the purpose of cleaning the floor if you wanted to cut it out? i would of left it in place, as you were nicely sealed from water coming in from the bottom..
I suppose I could do that video but I'll tell you that it's exactly the same, just a little dirt on the carpet from my boots. My wife shot a buck out of it the last 2 years on her first sit.
