Hi,there everyone,i have just bought a stealth net,and 4 poles,are 4 poles enough for a hide or do i need to buy more?Also,how many do most people use.Thanks Rich

You will be fine with 4 poles I use no more than that, sometimes depending on location use a combination 2/3/4.

yOU WILL BE FINE WITH FOUR TO START WITH THOUGH i HAVE TO SAY i OFTEN USE UP TO EIGHT DEPENDING ON THE SIGHT, OFTEN PUT UP A BACK SCREEN HIGH SO CANT BE SEEN BY PIGEONS COMING OVER THE TOP, BUT START WITH 4 AND SEE HOW YOU GO

SORRY CAPS

Another useful aid to stop the cammo flapping is a set of large crocodile clips to clip cammo to poles

Doc, 8 poles what you building, a shooting hide or a tent for Chipperfield Circus.

 

 

In my opinion, there isn't very much that can't be done with 4 poles in the way of hides for a single shooter, even a roof hide, to do this though you would need a second net; Some clamps are also very useful to hold the net in various situations. 4 poles is the norm I think.......
