I wanted to make a photography blind that didn’t cost a fortune. Originally I was going to make it out of PVC and fabric. One afternoon I saw my kid’s old plastic playhouse and I thought, “I can use this and it’s free”!
I selected a spot near the back fence…
I bought a $2.99 shower liner from Target to cover the top and part of the window…
Using an old towel and two heavy-duty clamps from the local hardware store, I fastened the towel and shower liner together creating the blind…
Add my Manfrotto 3011BN tripod, 488 ballhead to attach my 300mm f/4L IS and 1.4x II extender…
Its a little cramped, but it does the job! I added my cushion from my wheelchair for comfort…
Here’s the business end. You can see my DIY bird bath, feeder (stump) and stick…
I hope I’ve given you some ideas to build your own backyard blind!
UPDATE: I’ve re-designed my DIY Photography Blind
