mud does that thing fold down? do you have to take pins out of bottom poles to do it?

There is one pin on each side where the bars cross at. It's called a scissor blind I'm sure you could google it to see better pics

Here are some pics of the blind frame that I built for my boat back before the season came in.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be building mine on a piece of wood like that.

Anyone use PVC? I'm sure it sags too much

Post Re: Want to build a new blind
I used 1 3/8 Galvanized fence pipe 10' joints $10.98@ Lowes 4 Elbows 3.48 @ lowes. I used carriage bolts for ends of uprights, and C clamps to secure the rear of the blind a bolt for the front. 1 pr. of stainless eye bolts for front, and some para chord that I had laying around as well as two stainless snaps. probably about 75.00 total invested in Materials for the frame. Bought some in expensive camo panels for the sides. When I pull up in a place I always grab whatever is around and weave it in. (I really just didn't want to spend the $$ on fast grass) The black backing is weed block that offers wind protection and no gloss for cold windy days. I think I am in this for about 120-145 total.
Hope it helps.

Not more than 40-50lbs. It didn't slow me down on GPS with the same load today in deep.
used pipe on the wind block cloth just to hold it in place because the wind blows it all over. That is until I can come up with something new.
