    Default High tide duck blind

    I have a 1503 high tide was wondering if any you guys have the same rig with blind on it? Trying to get some ideas on how to build my blind. Thanks

    Front....



    Back...



    Whole thing....



    The two white pieces you see in the middle are PVC. They helped support the frame when the grass was wet and also helped hold the grass up in the middle.

    Also, on the front right you can see another stick of PVC. There is also one on the back right that is visible. These were used to attain the correct amount of gap in the middle. 1" PVC with a notch cut in the "T" to allow it to be clamped onto the blind frame.

    Between these two front and back and the 2 supports in the middle the blind stay right where you wanted it to.

    Where did you get the mounting brackets or did you make those?

    They have plastic Bimini mounts at west marine for 6 bucks a pair. . . I think it cost me 30 bucks for 4 mounts and 4 ends that attach the pole to the mounts.

    Tater, I've never seen the brackets on the ends of the tubing welded on before. That's good stuff.

    Is the tubing aluminum or is that regular ole EMT?
