Necessity is the mother of invention, to be sure.
I wonder where you bought the camo fabric? Last year, I bought the remains of a bolt of Realtree from Hobby Lobby for .99¢ a yard. I'm not sure I'd go to the trouble you did, but at least I have the fabric if I do!

I Picked the camo fabric up at Walmart(cheap) and it covered the entire blind w/o seams .It wasn't hard to build just took some time to figure out what size to make it.One thing,it will keep you Dry & Warm on those rainy cold hunting days.A couple folding chairs & 2 shooters are comfy all-day.

They are 10 ft long.........After the base 2x2s were laid out. And the corner brackets secured,I drilled the base 2x2s every 12" (to insert both ends of the 10ft PVCs). THIS made the 'arch' on all of them all the same.

Also ALL the wood strips for the horizontal side support, and angled end wood strips supports (shown in the opening post picture) are ALL 1/4" x 1.50" cut to lengths as needed.All are secured with zip-ties.Makes for a lightweight yet strong structure.
