I hunted Waterfowl with a great guide at Elite Guide Service up in Sacramento last December. He has some of the best rice fields in Nor Cal. It was my first time in a pit blind and I instantly said I can do way better than this. The trade was made and the worlds nicest pit blind was built. They will be installing LED lights and gas lines later on this year.

Total length with stairs is 28’ the bench is 20’
5’ tall in the rear 4’ tall in the front
1/8” steel fully welded inside and out
Marine grade powder coat in and out
full flap downs
built in gun holders
Stairs in both ends with large dog shelf
aluminum covers
the list goes on and on.

Nice! How many pounds of steel when all said and done? And how many gallons of Duracoat did it take?
 
Came in right around 3,300lbs. 85 hours of fab time.

It was professionally powder coated I have no idea how much they used. I just write them a check and pick up my stuff. Shout out to San Diego Powder Coating they are the best around and I have been using them for 20 years.

Drew , Looks good. I would encourage the outfitter to put insulated seat pads and backs in and pads around the gun holders. Ask @NBK about our years in concrete blinds and how cold it got even through the late morning hours. I'm sure I dont need to tell you but cold metal against the body even with good insulated clothes will suck your body heat away quickly and make life uncomfortable. P.S. get them to set up a stove to serve hot consumables if they are reaching for the high dollar hunters .
