Absolutely love my deerview windows. I have the single hinge swing open ones with tinted glass. I have them mounted vertically for bow hunting out of my blind.

Glass!

Deerview are the best that I've ever used!

The advantage of plexiglass is cost and being able to cut it, drill it, etc. Good for DIY projects. Disadvantage is it scratches easy.

I used the glass flip up windows from ultramatic on 290 when deerview said it would be 5-6 weeks to get them.

I used plexi-glass for years and it ends up scratching and getting hard to see through. I would only use real glass if I were you. There seem to be some good suggestions for windows above. I have no experience with the Deerview windows, but have purchased windows online from Dickinson Feed and Supply. They have a lot to choose from. Just another option.

we used the original deerblind windows with real tinted glass. I love the view through them and the tinting is great as well early season.

I'm building a new stand right now. I'm going with Plexiglas. My diy windows can be easily replaced if the plexi doesn't hold up.

See my post above. That's SOP for them.

Cancel and order from ultramatic. Just as good and you'll have them in a few days. Blows my mind that a month before deer season, deerview is waiting for your order before they make the windows.

It kind of boggles my mind that there is a company out there that specializes in building blind windows.

Just here to say that I somehow initially read the thread title as "deer stained glass windows" and thought someone had designed their own stained glass windows with a meadow scene featuring a 12-pt buck or a doe with fawn.

Toss a bomb can in each blind before season. Gets all flying bugs plus spiders.

I use plexi, but order 1/2 inch instead of the normal 1/4 inch, and use thick rubber seals to meet the wood panels.

It is more challenging to work with, but I like the results better. I just wish I had the right tools and experience to make the cuts myself. I have to get someone else to do that work for me.
We may not always get what we want. We may not always get what we need. Just so we don't get what we deserve.

Original Deer Blind Window Company. They are like the first ones. Pretty sure that other company copied them. They are in Cleburne.

Ultramatic and Mccoys carry their windows. I know my all seasons blind and texas wildlife blind use their windows as well.

Also the family that owns the Original also owns Dickinson Feed.
