I am looking for ideas to cover the top over my Shaggy a little better. I bought some bimini hardware and my idea was to make some individual flip tops but it didn't work out. Any ideas? Thanks, ct Edited to add- Shaggy works great but sometimes when it is sunny, particularly when hunting with kids I would like to be able to cover them up better. It seems like the ducks are looking down into the blind at us. Last edited by clinton; 01-27-2008 at 08:26 AM. |

Use strips of Shaggy between hunters. Get one of our Shaggy hats - looks tacky, but works. Or, do what justin did and make a couple U-sections covered with Shaggy and attach them on a clamp swivel of sort to the top tube. They cover up well and fold down for trailering. Call him at the factory and he will tell you how he did it. 801.352.8011

I saw this a little while ago- seems like a good idea for light blind doors- was going to mess with this in the off season for some type of hinge/swivel connection. http://www.mudbuddy.com/forum/homema...pics-5079.html When you get with Justin post what you think works.

The only thing I dont like about justin's is he has the flaps in the boat. Also, it can be hard to see out of. Ask Kman. I hear Kent is a good shot but he was missing mallards at 15 yards trying to get out of the blind. I'm sure you can get used to it, just depends on what you want.

Idaho...same idea, plastic mesh or that Aero Outdoors stuff, with sections of small PVC zip tied to either end. If you run a bungee down the length of the top blind bars, you can tuck the PVC pipe ends under the bungee, and the covers will stay in place, even in wind. You can also leave one side out of the bungee, and it'll flip over and hang there so you don't lose your section in the drink. :crazy:
