I spent some time this summer to construct a duck blind on my boat. First I built a base support. I used an 8" piece of angle aluminum 1"x 1" , measured and cut pieces for desired length for the bow and transom, next, cut a portion of the angle bracket to allow for flush mounting


Next you will want to cut 2 pieces, roughly 3" in length. File down the edges and corner, drill holes for the bimini mounts and mount small brackets onto cross-boat support bracket. I used stainless steel screws.


Mount both transom' and bow's brackets onto the boat using stainless bolts


Nest I secured the bimini mounts. All bimini rod ends and slide on used were 7/8" diameter, which I bought in the marine store.

Next I had to construct the frame for my blind. I used 4 of 3/4" x 10ft EMT pipes. Bent them at a 90 degree and jointed together using EMT coplers. Placed the bent pieces into bemini rod end.


Raise the frame, drill the holes across two pipes and place the pin in holes




Next I bent and installed the mid back section to allow the blind material to not drape into boat. I used 4 camo lines to connect the upper and back sections:
