A smaller one like the size used for animal food storage could be converted into a deer hunting blind

Cut in half, up and down. Then, you can make a quonset 2x as long as its height. Literally just thought about this right now, be kind please! Lol

I have thought about making a hunting blind out of it. If I spray foamed the inside and added electric it would make a great fur shed but I just built a nice shop so I don't need a fur shed.

If you live in farm country drive around and look for one that is no longer being used .You will be able to tell because it will be over grown with weeds and trees . Talk to the owner and he may just sell to you or even better yet let you have it for tearing it done With the right tools and some additional manpower they can be taken down and moved to where you want it .All you need is some air wrenches and ladders and a truck or wagon bed to haul it to where you want to put it up .I have helped to take down or put up quite a few It is a dirty job But it is more time consuming than anything .

Used to build them in the early 70's. We were using boat winches on a A frame. Most folks would be amazed how many bolts is in one.

Drifter I have a family member that farms for a living. Over the years he purchased several old ones that where no longer in use .The Aframe with winches is how we tok them down and put them back up As for the bolts he bought them by the 5 gallon full

Here I’d make a tornado shelter out of it and use it for storage.

Which is why you bury them in the ground.
