Walker570 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Last week I was putting together a single folding seat hide designed so I could set up and shoot maggies anywhere in the farm yard. Like one of these pop up jobs, but not as expensive and with a solid rest for the air rifle. Because I wanted the roof to be waterproof I was looking for some lightweight material in green and on a visit to Aldi looking for trail cams saw a fishing tent for carp fishing I suppose. The roof was made of material I was looking for and it had collapsible flexible frame. In short the material worked great and then when I looked at the frame sections they cried out FLOATERS. Now normally even in my Landie fitting in 6ft floaters is a problem, but these breakdown, connected by flexible rope, into sections about 15 inches long. I hung a full bodied plastic decoy on the end of four sections and it supported that no problem. All I need to do is make an attachment for the floater body/wings and also a double leg attachment to stick in the ground to stop it twisting and a spray with some matt paint. There are enough sections to make five maybe six floaters and the material has made a complete fitted waterproof roof for my hide, so for £19 it was a steal. All I need now are the pigeons Edited September 7, 2016 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 That sounds like a project. Try to remember to post a couple of pictures when you get it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
