I have a 1542 boat and already have the boat blind frame on it. I have been looking at 2 different types of material and wanting to know which one is better/ more reliable for the elements. Also, open to any other ideas. Thanks in advance.

1st blind material

2nd blind material
The Northern Flight Blind from Cabelas which is only 600 denier and the one above is 1000 denier.

I used the Avery die cut fabric with burlap strips tied to it, it seems like it will hold up fine and should dissapear in the buckbrush.

Ya, I have looked at those but need something stronger for the winter elements.

go to Barre/navy in VT have great prices on cordura

try to locate an army surplus store and get a used tank cover, the leafy looking die cut net. you can cut it to fit and attach moss and grass with small cable ties, man it will look good and you wont have a FORTUNE in it. I built my own frame out of 3/4 aluminum tubing and covered it like I said and everybody that has seen it complimented it. and it disappears in brush and grass, just alternate moss and grass without patterning it and you will have a 3D blind cheap.

Is the tank cover just a regular 3D cut net or does it contain cordura too? Will it help block the wind and winter weather too? Thanks.

no cordura just die cut and netting

I just put 1000 denier cordura nylon fabric on my blind i havent got to use it yet but it seems to be the same material as what my layout blind is made of.

Duckwild - Your right man, that seems like the strongest stuff on the market and cheaper than those other expensive ass flip-up blinds. Just needed to hear it from someone else. Thanks man.

The last couple of blinds I've made was with the black outdoor sunroom screen waterproof will nto fade and so far Is pretty tuff shit and you can paint it camo.
