So I bought a piece of tile left over from a water treatment plant. It is 5.5 feet across and 7 feet tall.
A buddy of mine had it and had cut horizontal shooting windows for shotgun turkey hunting. I bought it to make a warm shooting house for my young kids to be able to hunt late season here in Ohio.
Anyway here is what it looked like when I picked it up.

It is super heavy duty with 1/4 inch thick side walls.
I didn't like the horizontal windows so I re-attached the cut out pieces with strips of plastic from a 55 gallon drum.

And then re-cut the windows vertically.

I used a old fiberglass satellite dish for a roof. It was like 8 feet across but I cut it down and test fit it.

Here is what was left of the dish.

I separated the dish and siliconed the seams and put new galvanized bolts in each flange. I put a piece of screen over the hole in the middle to keep the bees out and used a 6" PVC cap as a vent. I then trimmed the dish down and painted it.
