Old wooden fence panels that people stack in their alley for trash pickup when they get a new fence. Wire them to your cattle panels, then take a sawzall and cut vertical bow windows on all 4 sides. Works great.

Cover For Cattle Panel Blind?

Originally posted by goldtip5575 View PostI used to lay the panel flat and use the thickest black poly plastic. The roll I used came from McCoys but you can get it elsewhere. With it folded it was exactly 5 ft tall and plenty long to cover the whole panel, and gave you 2 layers thick. I attached it with the thick heavy zip ties. It allowed it to stretch super tight when then rolling the panel into a circle to form your blind. I then used some of the astro turf carpet from home depot to wrap over the top of the plastic for the final outer layer. That plastic is now 10 years old and still in tact.
For the door I left about a 3.5 foot opening where the 2 ends wrapped around forming the round blind and connected them at the top and bottom with a heavy wire. I then framed the door out in 2x4's and used an old piece of plywood for the door and attached the framed out 2x4's with wire to the opening left by spacing the 2 ends apart at 3 1/2 feet. If you want a lighter door and can find a sheet of coroplast that is eay to use to skin your door out with. By leaving the 3x5 ft opening for the door it allows the interior of your blind to by larger. Of course you can leave a larger door opening and allows the blind to be even larger.

I use this. Supposed to last like 10 years in the sun and it’s cheap. If I get 5 years out of it I figure I’m doing good.
