Not sure what exactly you're looking for. You thinking a pit blind? A sled blind that can sit against a wood line? You can kill ducks just standing on the shady side of a tree. Give some specifics to your question and there are some folks on here that could give you some advice.

I built one out of PVC a couple years ago to sit on the edge of a pond. Rattle can'd the PVC and wrapped the whole blind in camo material and then brushed it in. I don't have the plans anymore but you can find them online. Just sit on a bucket or a stool. You can build them just about any configuration you want out of wood. You can find plans and pictures online and draw them up to suit your situation or just start nailing stuff together and see what happens. The less symmetrical and boxy the better. I brush mine in with oak limbs and use camo material as a backing. If you're wanting to do a floating blind then that's a whole 'nother ball of wax. I've never done that. The one I have now is built up so that when the water gets high it's right at the bottom of the blind. We just brush it in really well so when the water's low it looks like a brush pile, but I get to decide when the water's low too.

The easiest is to take a bunch of cane and stick it in the mud in a shallow area then use chest waders. Anything else gets more difficult, the better they get
I've had one build of treated timber sitting on top of two styrofoam pontoons. We would drive a jon boat up under it, open a hatch and climb into a plywood sheltered room covered with cane and an open top. That's the best but it weighs in around 500 lbs and takes a lot of time abnd bux to build.
A mod to the above is to simply build it on top of a jon boat ... Called a boat blind and this works well too.

What are good ideas on a water duck blind that's easy and enough room for 2 Are you looking for something you can leave in place 24/7 and come back to, or, do you want something portable?

Set 4X4 post corners and put a floor in it above your water level. Wrap it with chicken wire. If you have a pond with flashboard risers to control water levels, plant Egyptian wheat around your blind when you plant your duck plots. Cut some of the EW and use it to brush it in.

All of the above except, I wouldn't use it if has seeds of some sort. A friend got a ticket for using corn stalks as a blind, still had the ears attached. Hunting over bait since they moved the corn. We've used drift wood before on a mud flat, 3 of us and a dog. Just enough to break up our silhouettes. Too much cover and we call them scary's. Nature is more broken than solid, it's why solid blinds stick out.

I knew the 2 GW's that wrote the ticket too, said it was bait. Michael fought the ticket and kinda won, had to pay something not sure of how much though. This was probably 20 years ago. By moving the corn form one area to another is how it was described to me. It was only about 10 yards or so but it was moved. I asked another GW not long ago and said he could see that being the case but he'd probably only give a warning. Might be different elsewhere, not sure but I don't take any chances. We also will not walk down or run over with a 4 wheeler anything planted in the hole. Manipulating the crop or something like that.

For dove you can you bush hog down a crop, for waterfowl you can not legally. I moved my dove spot away from my duck hole cause of that. I guess it depends on how much a stickler the GW is on a case by case basis.
