I didn't even notice.  How are you supposed to keep an eye on your traps?

Their are two windows.  One each on the walls that do not have doors.

The windows are small and are mounted high.  We did this so the windows would act as vents as well.  We added dual zippers to the doors to aide in the viewing of tipups and traps.  We found that on many of our competitors models the windows being opened and closed created issues with the fabric.  More windows means less structural integrity, more areas for heat loss, and the plastic used in the most windows gets milky and cracks over time.  Most manufacturer's also require more windows due to the dark fabric used.  We have lighter colored fabric to help heat the shelter faster through passive solar heating.  This creates a green house affect rather than allow just the fabric to absorb the heat.  This design has proven to be more robust and easier to use.  Many people are skeptical at first, but the vast majority of users have come to prefer it.
