Mine is still up from when I put it out September1st. Still looks great! I've had to go out and pop the top back up, from caving in under the snow load, but it shows no undue wear/stress from it.

I have a Remington hub blind that I just purchased last year. I had one collapse under the weight of the snow and broke poles and ripped the fabric.
To prevent this from happening again, I took an extendable tent pole and set it up in the middle of the blind to help keep snow/ice from collapsing the center. It worked very well for this and was very cheap to do.

set my turret blind up again last week and after two seasons the elastic loops that the screens and window covers hook to are streached out and worthless. Some have broken off. I sprayed a water proofing to it so the rain and dew will roll off and not soak thru the seams. Same stuff you would use for a canvas tent. Other than the elastic loop trouble I still like this blind for the money. Wish the zipper door opening was a little larger and / or on both sides to allow some more options when placing the blind in a group of trees like juniper or cedar.

Well worth the $99. Now all I have to do is find a place to use it. The top hatch will be useful here in TX for ventilation while hog hunting. It,s hot here even at night this time of year.

Here's a snap of Killzone Turret XL in Zero Detect camo pattern. It is a bit more like Alabama winter woods and weeds than the other camo it comes in. The picture is a bit revealing... with the naked eye, there is no shine to the finish. However, the camera shows there is a "reflecting" quality to the material that may produce a UV "hot spot" that deer might see. I still would not trade this blind for any other given the price.

Just got in my zero detect today. Haven't set it up yet but sounds like it's a winner. Quick question, what products are people using to waterproof the blind and seal the seams?
