Boat Blind Finally Done
« on: September 26, 2016, 09:51:50 PM »
I put it off all last year but it's finally finished. A layer of nylon camo material 'quilted' to an outer layer of burlap and coated w/Thompsons Water Seal. Copper pipe frame that is only chin high when seated and folds up very compact.

Folds up very compactly. Actually it folds down. .
I've got knob end bungees at the gunwale that wrap it all up in a tight package

Wow, that looks very nice.  Throw some natural cover on it when in the field and it's going to be a duck killer!  Well done.  When do we go? :chuckle:
Right wing shooter, I aim for the left!!!

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Pvc will sag, copper keeps its form.  That's my experience having used both.

Also, I soldered all the joints on the 3/4" copper. My other choice was EMT tubing but the cost was about the same only the joints wouldn't be near as strong as soldered joints plus the copper paints easily and/or naturally discolors to a dull brown and to top it off - it won't rust.
