Here is the rear piece of camouflage attached to it's horizontal support. This is a piece of cerex in the Advantage Wetlands pattern with military camo netting on the ends. To attached the cerex, I first ripped a piece of 1" PVC length wise. I then place the top of the cerex along the support, then placed the strips of PVC along the cerex. I then used a power driver to screw ˝" sheet metal screws through the PVC & the cerex, into the support. I placed a screw about every foot.
Here's the blind with the front piece in place. The front is also cerex w/camo netting ends. Notice the front is a little shorter in height than the back. After a day in the field I quickly learned that the back was too high and I couldn't see birds coming around the back. I cut it down about 4" after I got home.
Here is the blind with the top up, ready to hunt. The top was pieces of camo burlap to begin with, I changed this to cerex right after I took the pictures. The top pieces are permanently attached to the back support and are hooked to the front support with clothes pins that are tied to it. Notice how the sun reflects off the cerex. This is one reason I replaced the cerex on the front w/military netting after a couple of hunts. I'll also be putting the military style netting on the back & top during the off season.
