Well, it’s over!?! Another season come and gone and now the clean up.
This was my first year to use an Avery Quick Set blind on my 1448 G3 Jon boat.
It’s all grassed up with Blind Grass Camouflage Systems.
It worked great…not busted by a single bird (as long as we didn’t move our heads). The blind grass travels great and doesn’t absorb water and get heavy or rot. IT AIN’T CHEAP though! So I need to keep it safe.
Anyway, now that the season is over I gotta find a way to keep it safe and ready for next year.
I thought about taking the grass off the frame but it is set up with a fabric see through camo net with plastic fencing over that and the grass affixed to the fencing. All is zip tied with 10,000 zip ties. It would be a PITA remove and try to reinstall without a huge endeavor. Essentially, I’d be doing the whole thing over again. It probably took me 20 hours to get it all done.
I don’t have a garage but I do have 2 out buildings (one 16x32 used as a garage and another 14x20 used as a storage building).
I think I’ll need to put it in the smaller since that one is only accessed to get decorations and other items used infrequently.
I have built in shelves running along both walls front to back about 2 feet off the wall.
The only thing I can come up with is to somehow rig a pulley system from the rafters to hoist it up to the rafters being about 8 feet high. Maybe use a game gambrel on both ends or just some pulleys. It will probably be low enough that you’d have to bend to not hit your head.
Anybody got and suggestions? Or any solutions that you have or are using?
Thanks,
John
