I started building my boat blind today.. Simple set-up nothing real fancy but it will get the job done.. Ill post pic's after I get the frame finished

Got my boat back from the fab shop today... I had rails added to to sides. its 3/4"OD and flat bar as supports cut at a slight angle. Im going to use the rails to tie in the camo netting for the pop up blind.

Already have them acid washed and primed... Hopefully Sunday I can finish painting.

I like those rails and would love to have them on my boat. Did you get a buddy discount? If not, about how much would they set back the average Joe?

Nope paied full price, if you think 200$ is bad lol! I buddy of mine told me about this place. He had some bowfishing stuff fab'ed up for his rig. Said they had great prices. I dropped my boat off Wed and it was done today at noon! I think it came out great..

Looks good!!
Do you know what schedule that tubing is?

Theres no schedule of tubing, its wall thickness. Pipe has sch. Its prob .12 wall.

You got my point didnt you?

Ez guys...

It's 1" O.D. Pipe.

I'm thinking the flat bar bracing is 1 1/2"

pipe measures by the inside diameter and different thicknesses affect the outside diameter, not the inside. tubing on the other hand measures from the o.d. and thicker tubes, be it square or round, make the inside hole smaller.

so yall are telling me it dont go by like scheduel 40

guys your all saying the same thing just in differnt terms just piping can be by sch 40 or sch 60 and higher also can be my od or id... but why does it matter here just piping

I like the handrails, always wanted some, when I get a new boat it will have them.




Oh, and my pipe says SCH 40 on it. Always just thought it was a birthmark.

i also like the hand rails tie down from anywhere and i would guess you can run that motor sitting down pretty good

Finally got time to build the frame today.... Now all I need is the grass or die cut camo netting.

...

Very basic and cheap!! A pop-up duck blind does not have to cost you 500-600 bucks. This will deff get the job done after I finish camo'n it... I hope this help some guys on deciding to install a pop-up for a fraction of the price!

I finished my blind also. All my pics are on my iphone. Thanks to Cmiller for the help.

Ryan, here is the pic you sent to me in text when you finished it.

Looks good!!

Nuthin gayer than a bunch of phags on da internet arguin bout how they measure der pipe.

Just got home from Cabelas with my new blind material.. I finaly broke down and bought the Avery camo net system, and let me tell u this stuff is awesome. As soon as I got home I ripped open the package to check it out and in totaly impressed!! Pics to come Monday after I install it. It shouldn't take long with the built in velcrow tabs! Wish I bought this stuff in the years past but I always thought it was way over priced!!
