Any of you ever build blind doors on your 4 rivers boat? I can't figure out what to do for the hinges.

Don't know what STTH suggested, but I bought mine used from Fleabag, and he had what looks to me to be some galvanized electrical conduit clamps. I ended up leaving a gap between the doors so I could shoulder my gun without having to get the doors open.

I was thinking about something like that but couldn't figure out where to attach them. Do you have a conduit frame for your doors or are you just using welded wire or cattle panels. I was thinking about using cattle panels.

What about tank netting? We're not keeping dogs or hogs in the boats so why use wire that will snag waders? That ground blind I built that I used chicken wire is coming off and going to tank netting........ if I had a small piece. Starting to sound like someonelse here!

The doors are made from sections of cattle panel, bent into a curved shape.

Ditto on what DMac said....cattle panels are the ticket.

We use 3/4" marine grade plywood....keeps the wind and rain out. Kind of heavy...but you can walk on the doors when they are closed and the coil springs make them flip right open when you hit the release peddle.
Fork those dam mesh panels.

Don't listen to that goober.....someone who didn't know any better might actually waste the money trying to make doors that weigh 35 lbs each....

If you camouflage yourself well enough you don't need doors. I would suggest one of a few different dabouflage patterns available. Of course the clothing pattern must match the boat pattern to be most effective.
Guns are an entirely different issue in and of themselves.

I've switched the side-by-side doors on my boats to a single, flip-down flap A LA the Conservation Dept's pit flaps.
These weigh 67 pounds and are 5 feet tall, and are a GREAT duck conservation tool, since most ducks are spooked well out of range by the time the flap falls and you can shoot.
They're hell on spoonies coots and grebes, however.

I've never had doors before but get tired of my damn grass falling in the water. My x-lander fits nice inside the cockpit but that's just one more big azz bulky thing to carry.

You guys laugh all ya want....but we stay dry with our plywood doors.
Not only that but when you hunt with a guy that has a black retrievin machine that stays on his line....you dont have to worry about gettin yer ass run over when that sumbeach comes roarin over yer boat.

Or when the dog decides he wants to take a chit on the boat. You can just flip it out in the water!
