That's a nice blind how did you attach the sunshade material around the pipe? And does it hide you good enough with the camo or do you have to brush in as well
Thanks. Go back and watch the video. There is a section about how I attach the sunshade material to the poles. I simply wrapped it around and ran some self tapping screws through everything. As far as the camo goes, it does a pretty good job specially against, reeds and grasses that are brown, anytime. I can throw something extra on it will to help blend in that much more.
Thanks for the video. I like your design. Where did you buy the camo netting with the straps for weaving in the grass? I can find no such thing anywhere. Thank you and good hunting. Jeff
Very well done. One of the better setups I've seen. We are running flooded timber (AR), so we occasionally 'kiss' a tree or 6 in the mornings (so we have to keep the frame from sticking outside the gunwales) . I'm looking to change my setup and Excel is a boat I'm considering. Been using the Avery Quick Set blind and it's been 'ok' (better than sitting out there waving our arms in a pink jump suit). I'm still trying to figure out a 'system' that is flexible/foldable to cover our little noggins that are sticking out like a sore thumb. If you have any ideas or come up with a solution, I'd love to see it. We have considered using some kind of fiberglass/ flexible tent pole as a frame that can be taken off or rolled up for transport down the highway / the rivers/ the woods, just haven't come up with anything that seems to work yet. Also, what is your boat length and what motor are you running?
@@jamaulden1009 Thanks for the reply. Any issues with the Suzuki? (reliability is high on my list) Still try'n to figure out new boat and potential setups. Still considering the Viper. Also been eyeball'n the 2024 Excel 1651 River Warrior and the Legendcraft Ambush 1556 models and am considering the Beavertail 1800 Series Blind. I really like your setup. Keeps it out of the way when not using it and with some minor 'adjustments' will stay away from the trees that may want to grab it or smash it! Hope you guys have a great season!

@@L33T_killa did great last season. Working on a better place for the dog. The step wasn’t the greatest situation but the blind is still in great shape.
I was curious on how that sunshade material held up, does it keep the rain and wind out? I’m gonna build one here before teal season. Our best hunting days down here on the coast are on the bad weather days 😂
@@L33T_killa sunshade material is unchanged still in great shape. It isn’t waterproof but will shed the rain somewhat. However this is an open top design so you are gonna be wet, just not as wet.
Best boat blind I have seen by far!!
Thank you!
That is a great looking blind. Really versatile Camo-it should blend in anywhere. Nice video
Thank you!
Nice setup and choice of boat, Excel rocks!
Looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing it in the water
Looks Awsome you did a great job ! I like it just as much if not more than a lot of the factory made blinds .
Thank you for the compliment. I enjoyed building it.
Man there is nothing wrong with your set up the tube spline is ingenious!!!! Nice Rig wack ‘‘em and stack ‘‘em this year!!!!
Just saw how you attached it good job on the blind
That blind looks great. I'm stealing your design for mine. I believe we have the same boat. 1860 Excel.
This is what i was looking for the next waterfowl season. Thanks for sharing where you purchased the

Mine is set up the same way, but I painted and put a tarp over the sides first.
Where did you buy the brackets from?
Made them
Excuse my ignorance. But what are the brackets called that attach the piping to the boat. With the pin in it
Beats me…just brackets…

That's awesome! I've been working on my own design, that sun shade material was a great idea.
This is awesome! About how much did the whole thing cost?
Its hard to say honestly. I think we are in for around $400-$500

@@Laughinghawg so far it’s been flawless
What is the outside martial? Not the sun shade but the external Camo? And where did you buy it please?
Go to 6:13 in the video it is listed. Also I think it is further down in the comments.
Nice setup I like it can you show a link of where you bought your material
@@robertdavis6262 thanks. Check the replies to the other comments it should all be in there.
How big is your boat? How many of thoes Gilly sheets did it take?
It’s 18’ we used 6.
Love the build! Man what’s that camo material?
Thanks! Look a little further down in the comments.
Can you link the materials you used?
Absolutely here you go.
