Default Building Skid Blind - Q

Used metal hose clamps to attach two aluminum feed trough frames together, then used thick fencing for floor (sturdy enough, will add plywood on top of it). Using buckets for seats, nothing fancy.

Question: How would you build frame and walls, open on one end?

I want to make it round or triangular instead of box-like so it'll blend in.
Also will use hog panel or fencing like floors for walls.

You could fasten cow panel all the way around it in a way it to where it curves.. Haybale shape is what I had in mind.. Or just have the corners rounded

That's a good point, hadn't thought of that.

Any ideas for what the frame could be made out of and how to attach it to the base? I'll need something to hold up the wall panels, and trying to keep it lightweight.
