i have been buying the avery grass matts for a long time and they work good but i wanted to make something more durable and hide even better.
in my peanut brain this is what i came up with. A frame of 1x wood with mesh and grass or what ever tied to the mesh.
the mkI version was made with metal mesh and grass from
www.tikishackimporter.com
Tied the grass on with tie wire, this gives you a handy place to hang stuff on the inside but got to wear gloves. The MKII i used plastic mesh and zip ties to hold the mats.
The mkI are 5' by 4' high. tried them out and i think 5x3 is a better size so the mkII are that size. just about right for my old man sitting in his chair.
The poles are used to hold them up in the water but yesterday hunted a dryish spot. short poles with two screws left out a inch or so hold the panels. shown here are the mkII 5x3 with plastic mesh. they are very light and could be carted pretty easy. going to mix in some cut tules and maybe some other brush to really complete the blind. if anyone wants me to buid them for you the answer is umm maybe how much $$ you got?
i forgot to add, i did cut a dog hole in one i made for myself. so the dog can see out of the blind and come and go with out removing the blind panels.
