Post Put a top on my Gator-tail blind today
Had a problem with birds flaring and I think it was from not having enough head cover.

How does it fold down for transport? Out of curiosity did you incorporate a rain fly?

the blind top is a separate pipes from my main blind. used 3/4 conduit and Bimini top hindges. I drilled the hindges and used hitch pins so when I need to fold it down , I pull the pins and the top will fold easy. I didn't use a rain fly.

Here is a few pictures of the blind folded and a link to where I got the idea for the top. I just didn't do the budgie system he had.

This works well for us--"hatches" made out of two bungees, netting and raffia.

When we're sitting straight, my shoulders/neck is about at the height of the bar. When ducks fly over, we just tuck in a little and we're in the shadows. Then when we stand to shoot, it's probably at the bottom of my chest or so.

They work great--you can also move them around or add mor depending on how many guys you're with.
