Default Pop Up Blind Question

Does any one make a pop up blind that has a bottom?
I would like a blind that has a bottom, to keep the ticks out.
If there isn't one, how would you go about making a bottom?

Thank You

Some Avery's ahve a bottom once you put it up.

Heck JR a light spray of insecticide will take care of ticks. I use Permanone on my clothing

I can't answer the tent question because I don't use them, but a solution to ticks in your blind is easy - malathion and Permanone.

1. Back in the day we did a lot of weekend tent camping when turkey hunting in Missiouri and Land Between the Lakes. Ticks were absolutely terrible. Dad would fill up one of those one-gallon hand sprayers with malathion and spray the ground where we were camping before we ever got anything out of the truck. Bye Bye ticks. You can mix one up and leave it in the tent if you wish or just mix up a small spray bottle and take it with you to spray the ground in the tent.

2. I've never had a tick bite me if I sprayed down with Permanone (permitherine). A good tip is to spray your outer garments and put them overnight in a sealed garbage bag.

3. I also tape my pants legs down to the top of my boots with eletrical tape, forming an inpenetrable seal so ticks can't possibly get up my legs from below.

I carry a small piece of green indoor/outdoor carpet, just larger than the bottom of my Double Bull blind. It's a bit more to carry but it works great.

You really don't want the bottom attached to these lightweight pop up blinds. Everytime you move and shift the floor material, it will be transferred to the sides of the blind. You're going to look like a cat in a sack.
I watched a man and his son hunt out of one and that blind looked like it was doin a dance with all the movement.
