Insulation

[snowman69]

Looking for some help, going to build a 6x6 deer blind before fall and looking for ideas on black insulation? A local company is using some type of material that is about 1/4 think but silver on one side and black on the other side. Any ideas??

Thanks

I'd use whatever insulation you want, and then line the interior with geotextile fabric. It's dirt cheap, and then you don't get boxed into buying a fancier insulation than necessary. I build my own blinds, and I wrap them in this:

If you can't find the black material you are looking for the pink foam insulation board works well glued to treated 0.5" plywood exterior panel (or whatever sheathing you are using). On the inside blind surface I glue black or dark gray unbacked automobile carpet. This makes for a very comfortable and quiet blind

Thats a great idea but I dont have any plywood on my walls, just ProRib steel then the Geotextile Fabric which not sure if the pink foam would stick that well....

I bet liquid nail will work or just let the plywood hold it on

Any local metal roofing company or pole barn building supply company stocks double bubble roll insulation for 25 cents a square foot, which is 1/3 of the Amazon price

I like the window set up! I'm going 8x8 and looking at cheap ways to make windows! I might frame the plexiglass into a 1x1 wood frame.

If you can't find the black material you are looking for the pink foam insulation board works well glued to treated 0.5" plywood exterior panel (or whatever sheathing you are using) Check it out.

It sounds like you're looking at foil-faced foam insulation with a black coating on one side. It's often used for heat retention and concealment. Check products like Reflectix or black-faced polyiso panels, which fit that description. Local insulation suppliers should carry something similar.

Good luck with bugs using ribbed metal and just insulation inside. You better foam the crap out of it...

Hang fly tape inside the blind before hunting season takes care of a lot of bugs. I've had to put ant powder in one 16' high blind recently.

In my experience, it doesn't. Flies and lady bugs are horrible if they have a way in, where I'm out and there's no good solution other than a sealed blind. I have a couple that aren't and they suck.

Some great ideas. I have picked up some used double sided steel insulated garage door panels to use for the walls and roof on a blind. Plan to use a cheap vinyl slider window. Now to find the time to do it.
For any novices using metal panel for a roof, the most important thing to do is lay some type of condensation prevention barrier under the roof panel, otherwise, under certain conditions the condensation will drip on you and your guns. Also without the condensation blanket, in frost conditions the frost on the underside starts to melt as the temp on the panel rises above freezing and all that frost rains down on you.

I wouldn't trade our garage door panel blinds for any pre made blind. Superior to anything we've seen.
