Not many good premade stuff. Find an old batting cage style net and put it on your blind frame, then order the rafia grass and just tie into the net.

J Stern is the place to get Rafia. I think they have a min requirement that is more than enough to do a 16-18 ft boat. Might be way to much though if you aren't doing an entire blind.

Cabela's has those woven sheets on sale right now (4) 4'x5' sheets for $50. They aren't the thickest but they worked fine for me

I've tried everything finally settled on the shaggy blind panels from mud buddy and pmi camoflex limbs absolutely deadly and 3 dimensional

There's actually oak leaf colerd limbs in there too but they blend into the shaggy so well you can barely see them

This might not work for you southern hunters, but almost all I use anymore on hard sided blinds are tumble weeds. They hold up to anything and can go down the interstate and not blow apart. They are free and ultra plentiful. I just drive down the road and pick them out of the fence. They make amazing 3D camo when you throw in a few other things from the surrounding area. The colors are perfect for the areas where I typically hunt.

Now that I think about it, I should start selling them... :lol: Big box $25 plus shipping... :lol: :lol:

Camo burlap and lot of cane(renewable every weekend, on the side of the road and the guy wants me to cut it all down). I just take limb trimmers and cut it down.

What I did for my blind was quit duck hunting.

Go on eBay, look up "tiki bar grass" and pick the size you want. I got a 3'x3'x30' roll for 110 bucks. Has lasted 3 seasons in the garage (out of the weather) and performs great. I usually hunt out of it about 20 times a season, if not more, and it has held up perfectly.

3 seasons would be unacceptable to me. Still hunting my original grass and it's been removed and replaced onto several new boats and blinds over 10 yrs.

He didn't say it wouldn't last longer, just that he's had it 3 seasons and it's still holding up.

Russ is right. I'm on my third season, going on 4. No issues, no problems, and still lasting like a boss.

Tikishackimporters.com its just like the original fast and you can get it in all kinds of widths and lengths so you dont have to patch peices together as much. I have some on a layout boat thats probably going on its 5th year. But it is kept inside between hunts and the rest of the year too.

Fast grass had it on a boat blind for 5 years before we stopped using the blind all together. Blind stayed outside behind the camp all year. Well worth the money.
