The Hughes Box Blind (HP-67000) is a portable hunting blind designed for outdoor use. It requires two people for assembly. The manufacturer, Hughes Products Company, Inc., emphasizes the importance of careful assembly, installation, anchoring, and usage, stating that anchoring the blind is the owner's responsibility and disclaiming liability for injuries or damages resulting from its use.

Function Description:

The Hughes Box Blind serves as a temporary shelter for hunters, providing concealment and protection from the elements. It is designed to be assembled from several wall panels and a roof, with optional internal supports and a door frame for added stability and functionality. The blind includes window openings for visibility and a door for entry and exit. An optional window kit is available to enhance the blind's usability by allowing windows to be opened and closed.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Number: HP-67000
  • Assembly Requirement: Two people
  • Flooring Recommendation: A 4 x 4 ft, 1/2" thick piece of plywood (not included)
  • Optional Extensions:
    • 5' extension (Item= HP-67050)
    • 10' extension (Item= HP-67055)
  • Door Opening (with optional door frame): Minimum 26 1/2" wide
  • Screw Types:
    • 8-32 x 3/4" screws (for panels and roof)
    • #10 x 1" wood screws (for optional 2x4 supports)
    • #8 x 1 3/4" wood screws (for connecting 2x4 supports in corners)
    • #8 x 1/2" machine screws with nuts (for window kit)

Usage Features:

  • Assembly Process:
    • The blind is assembled by connecting wall panels (A, B, C, and D, where D has the door cutout) using 8-32 x 3/4" screws and nuts. Wall D is specifically identified as the panel with the door cutout.
    • A key instruction is to avoid placing a screw in the third hole up from the bottom of each panel during initial assembly, as a #10 x 1" wood screw will be inserted there later for optional support. Similarly, the bottom hole of each panel should remain empty until flooring is installed.
    • The roof is then placed over the assembled walls and secured with 8-32 x 3/4" screws from the outside. Users are advised to re-drill holes if they do not align properly.
  • Optional 2x4 Support System:
    • For enhanced stability, users can install four 2x4 pieces (labeled #1, #2, #3, and #4) horizontally on the inside of the blind.
    • 2x4 #1 is inserted into a horizontal groove on Panel D, above the door and below the window, and secured with #10 x 1" screws from the outside.
    • 2x4s #2 and #3 are installed similarly on Panels B and C, respectively, pushed tight against 2x4 #1.
    • 2x4 #4 is installed on Panel A, pushed tight against 2x4s #2 and #3.
    • Finally, the 2x4s are connected at the corners using #8 x 1 3/4" wood screws.
  • Flooring Insertion:
    • A recommended 4x4 ft, 1/2" thick plywood piece (not included) serves as flooring.
    • It is placed on top of the lip on the inside bottom of the box blind.
    • Once the flooring is in place, 8-32 x 3/4" screws are inserted into the bottom predrilled hole on each panel corner to secure it.
  • Optional Door Frame:
    • Two vertical 2x4s (#5 and #6) can be installed to create a door frame, resulting in a minimum opening of 26 1/2".
  • Window Kit (Optional):
    • The window kit includes four windows, eight window tracks, four window handles, eight 1 1/2" Velcro adhesive pads (male and female), and 32 #8 x 1/2" machine screws with nuts.
    • Window Preparation: Plastic film is peeled off both sides of each window. A window handle is attached to the bottom center of each window using adhesive tape. A 1" Velcro adhesive pad is placed 12" from the top left edge of the window, on the opposite side of the handle.
    • Track Installation: Eight window tracks are aligned with pre-drilled holes around the window openings on the blind. Screws and nuts are inserted but not tightened initially.
    • Window Insertion: Windows are slid into the tracks, resting on the 2x4 piece of wood below the window. Once all windows are in place, the track screws are tightened. If windows do not slide smoothly, re-drilling holes with a 3/16" drill bit may be necessary.
    • Velcro Pad Installation: To hold windows in the open position, the window is slid up, and the corresponding Velcro pad on the blind wall is located and pressed firmly against the wall where it aligns with the window's Velcro pad.

Maintenance Features:

  • Troubleshooting: In case of screw hole misalignment during roof installation, users are instructed to re-drill holes from the outside of the roof to line up with the panel holes.
  • Customer Support: For any product issues, customers are directed to contact Hughes Products Company, Inc. directly at 336-769-3788, rather than the merchant of purchase.
  • Website Resources: Pictures for assembly (Fig. I, II, III, V, VI) and optional door frame are available on the company website.
