Hunting Blind for Deer, 270° See Through Ground Blind

I've hunted for 40 years, but never from a blind. I was suspicious how sturdy this would be, or how easy to setup. It surpassed my expectations and worked out great on a recent hunt. You can see out (not super clear through the fabric, but the openings are well placed and adjustable, and it really blocked anything from seeing in. I consider it a great purchase. Well worth the money. Good size for 2 adults.

This appears to be an excellent blind. Easy to put up and the large size should hold three of us easily. The see through aspect is awesome. Will be using it for spring turkey season in three weeks.

Bottom line up front: this is the best bang for your dollar on a ground blind. Michigan hunter here, I’ve been in, observed specs, pricing, and materials at Jay’s and Cabela’s and this was the winner hands down. Materials: 300D fabric is more thick than most generic or store brand offerings in Cabela’s case. The visibility through the mesh and walls itself is excellent while still surprisingly wind and rain resistant. Case in point, if you bring your Mr buddy heater it will retain a bit of heat in the blind. Ground stakes are pretty skinny for significant weather but I used the attached tie down nylon cords to also attach to a couple close trees. Set up: I didn’t read a thing and just pulled the black tabs out and it sprung up in a minute without issue. What is handy is Tidewe looked ahead and stitched instructions into the nylon carry bag for it so it is idiot resistant. Features: The door has elastic banded g hooks to roll itself up and attach to the frame if you need to keep it open after eating too much chili which is handy. Brush webbing has two layers so it only took a couple seconds to put some dead branches in and make it look to have a little more depth. Window mesh screens are affixed to the frame using sliders inside of the corner rods with elastic which is completely silent to move the top up and bottom down opening your shooting lane. Cons: I think the only improve could be for the included tie downs to have prefab knots or individual plastic cord wraps to keep them tidy when putting away. It’s not an issue whatsoever nor enough to doc a star away from what easily could be a $300 dollar blind. Extra Cheese: I bought the Tidewe chair too and it was pretty slick to set up. Came with a nylon carry sling and the tripod attaches to the base with just 4 oversized thumb screws. No tools needed at all for the whole set up. I have zero issues with the chair or getting into the blind and I’m 6’8” tall ~290lbs sitting very comfortably in the 3-4 man blind with plenty of room for my wife to sit with me and read. I think you’ll be pleased.

Love this blind! Easy set up and easy take down. Perfect for taking my 6 year old hunting-(that doesn’t know how to stay very still) she got her first turkey in this blind! It is not meant for leaving up for long periods of time unless in a very calm weather environment as it will go airborne with heavy winds (found this out with our first one).

I purchased two of these blinds, the one pictured was from September of 2022, and has been out the longest. Pictures were taken in April, 2025, and show the effects of 3 years and 6 months out on the edge of one of my fields, in direct sunlight. This one has been set up and left in that same spot by the field the entire time, before being brought it up to the garage to be replaced. My other Tidewe blind was set up in a wooded area, but an early snow collapsed it beyond repair, as the fabric was ripped and torn, and a number of the fiberglass supports snapped. That ond didn't make it through the first season. Can't blame the blind for that, it was a heavy and wet early snow, and I had the blind tied down well, it just collapsed on itself. I saved the rods and plastic turnbuckle things from the ripped up blind, and used them to rebuild the other one, the one pictured, which was in a more open area. I believe wind helped keep too much snow from accumulating on this one, although it too collapsed. I have learned to put a piece of PVC pipe inside as a support pole when I'm not inside, and that helps prevent collapse, by offering support for the roof so snow can slide off. The "see-through" feature is nice, but it isn't really all that usable during low light situations. It's like looking inside your microwave while something is cooking. Your eye keeps trying to focus on the fabric, and not on what is out beyond it. It does make the blind feel more open though, and I like it better than the opaque blinds. The sliding windows are a nice and functional feature, and positioning them, with the openings as thin slits, allows good viewing around you, while not being completely wide open. I did buy a couple of chairs for ground blinds, but everything I've tried is too tall for the height of the window openings from inside. You end up either leaning way over, or taking a knee to look outside. That is the same for every blind I've used, so chair makers, let's make one with a lower seat height. My hunting situation allows me to get these set up and leave them there, which I do, but that won't work for everyone. The blind is effective, and I've had deer and turkey walk within 5 feet, never knowing I was inside. The key is to let them get used to it over time, and gain familiarity with it being in the same place. I've watched deer notice my quad 75 yards away and steer clear of that when I rode out to hunt, so a giant blind just appearing one day may not do what you hope it will, see-through or not. Get real tent pegs and some paracord to tie it down, leave it in place, and you'll find much more activity around you. I will commend Tidewe on the quality of their plastic turnbuckles. They never seem to be the weak link. Other blinds have turnbuckles that crack and break, but the Tidewe parts hang in there. All the straps, tie-downs, and zippers have also been performing without issue. I've used the turnbuckles from the collapsed Tidewe blind to repair other blinds too. The poles from my collapsed blind were used to replace the broken ones on the blind pictured, and as the pictures show, the walls all maintain good structural integrity, and have held up well. The fabric must not be treated for any kind of UV protection though, as you can see the colors have almost completely faded to the color of dry straw grass, and it feels about as thin as tissue paper. The blind really sticks out now, not matching any colors from the surroundings, but since it's been there so long, the deer didn't care. The roof, getting the most sunlight, eventually tore apart, and you can see the result in the pictures. I do not think this blind would make it through next deer season, so I removed it now, and hope to have another back there soon. So overall, I'm happy with the blinds, and will buy them again at a similar price point. They'll last longer if you only set them up on the day you hunt, but they won't be nearly as effective doing that. Higher windows (or lower seats) would be nice, as would more UV resistant fabric, but overall it's been a good purchase.

Great blind…I’m not a blind hunter but my kids need it to help conceal and this one is big enough for 3 grown men, all over 200 pounds. It sets up easy and conceals great! Great Blind!

I’ve purchased or received three of these in the past few years. One was gifted to me and I bought two others. First the good: truly hides you very well, when you look from the outside, you can’t tell there’s someone inside. Plus despite being quite hidden, you can still see out pretty good from the inside. Another good thing is that is protects you in windy, cold, or rainy weather. It’s a good size, big enough we’re here for two hunters. Setting it up is a breeze as well. The bad: it’s only going to last you two seasons, after the second, it falls apart. Mostly the fabric can’t really take too much sun before it fades and ultimately becomes brittle and tears. Takedown is also a pain, it’s not as easy as setup, with the tension please becoming unwieldy as you try to collapse the last part. Then it’s a real pain trying to get it in the bag. The other dislike is that the openings basically open up in a bow tie shape and not easy to just make a rectangle sized opening, plus the height is wrong for someone sitting inside looking out. It should be lower. There is no provision for lowering the bottom of the opening. Some pics of the assembly that snapped on the 2 year old. Update: the company is very responsive to any feedback where the customer has issues. They’ve offered me a full refund but honestly I don’t feel like it would be right to take it. I thought perhaps if they lasted 3 seasons they would be perfect, but two isn’t horrible. I’ll add a star for the excellent customer service. Second update: they offered me 1/3 of the price refund. This was my counteroffer for the full refund as it last 2 out three seasons that I was expecting. Great company.

The reason for the 3 stars is that the blind was impossible for me to set up. The instructions left much to be desired. When I contacted Support - I got an email with instructions that were rather cryptic as well and were entirely different from the original instructions attached to the blind. Tidewe needs to make a change in their design. They need to identify ceiling post by either labeling it or painting it a different color or something along those lines. I tried 3 different time to set up the blind. By accident I got it set up once but the other 2 times fail. Tidewe Support did reach out to me a second time but by then I was so frustrated that all I wanted to do was send it back and that is what I did. I was impressed by the see - through sides and silent zippers but that is about it. Sorry I could not give a better review.

Überraschung

非常時のトイレシェルターとして購入。外が明るければ中はみえないし、通気性もあり臭いもこもらずOK。

もっとシースルーだと良し。
