The conduit will slide up and down inside the PVC. Insert a piece of conduit that is roughly twice the length of the PVC into the PVC pipe. Attach a PVC pipe at the top of these half circles that runs parallel with the kayak. It starts by bending a few half circle pieces of conduit and attaching those at the front and middle of the kayak. This design is fairly easy to make, and allows for excellent, low profile concealment. We usually stake the kayaks with a wooden pole or a piece of conduit in the front and back on windy days, but because the door slides open to the front, we can’t do that with this design. When hunting late season in vegetation that has been knocked down, there isn’t much to hold the kayak in place against the wind. Out of all the blind builds I have tried this was one of my favorites, but it has one fatal flaw. Make the center point as high or low as you want depending on how much extra cover you want from the blind, but the wider the doors are, the more difficult it is to paddle and get in or out of the blind. However, anytime you start adding doors it can make it difficult to paddle (more on this later). This option is great if you have a place to hunt that has some vertical cover. Then, your gun stays on the outside of the blind with you sitting upright inside. You can use bimini fittings here for your hinges as an upgrade. I would recommend going with conduit instead of the PVC, but the idea stays the same.īuild two doors that when angled upwards, meet in the center of the kayak. The PVC joints would squeak every time I opened the door to get in or out. I used PVC for my first duck hunting kayak setup, and the design quickly gained a nickname – the squeaky wheel. If you want to keep your kayak as close to original as possible, this may be a good design for you. This is the option I went with for my first kayak.
