We finally got Brian’s boat blinded up! We decided to build a scissor style frame that can collapse when it is not in use. We can even take it completely off for the off season so it won’t get in the way. Building this blind was fairly cheap and if you really want you can even do it for cheaper. The parts and hardware ran about $60-$70 which will be pretty standard. After that all you need is material to blind the boat. We went with a more expensive route as the Tangle Free grass ran about $70. You can find alternative materials for a lot cheaper such as burlap if you shop around.
If you have any questions be sure to ask, we will get back to you asap!
Parts Needed:
8 #14 1” x 1/4” Sheet Metal Screw (Hex head slotted)
8 1/4” Washers
2 1/4” x 2” Wire Lock Pins
4 2” x 1/4” Bolts
4 1/4” Nylon Lock Nuts
8 1/2” Set Screw Couplings
4 90 Degree Angled Conduit or EMT (If you don’t have a Conduit or EMT Bender tool)
1 1-1/4” x 36” Square Tube
6 10’ x 1/2” Conduit or EMT
Tanglefree Blind Grass

#HowTo #DIY #BoatBlind
Great idea but didn’t work well for my 16ft boat. Definitely keep it to a 12-14 foot boat if you are attempting this!
I would have used stainless and aluminum for longevity
what is that music?
Built a ton. Hows that 75ndollar brush look after a year
great job guys
You forgot to mention the Sierra Nevada Torpedo in your tools/parts list.
How are you going to mount a motor if the frame is along transom like that?
Ok you're on the right track but…
1. Start with a layer of something waterproof and windproof. Gore-tex in camo for example. Black works well too.
2. Next put a layer of mesh on. Black nylon…look at some all weather blinds.
3. The grass mats get zip tied to the mesh in #2.
You're going to eventually think of buddy heater (s) and maybe a cover for when it rains and you gotta just sit there or go home.
will this work with all a 10ft flatbottom
Thank you guy's very much for the vid and how informative you all were on the material's needed for the project! 👍
Yall put the grass mats on upside down. flipping those over would make it to where the grass does not stick out the sides. I have a blind very similar to that and they are amazing. Only difference is mine is a little heavier duty. One inch square tubing and it is removable. It is virtually the same but it has a rectangular base that the arms are connected to rather than the boat itself.
How long is that boat
Can't wait to see it in action!
That looks awesome! Really cool set up. I hope you all get into a mess of Ducks! Good luck!
