madeinuk Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 My Brickhouse popup resisted all of the recent snow and I want to thank the guy who posted that he supports it against snow with a mop handle in the center. Kind of obvious *after* someone mentions it - I used a 70" piece of 2x4 that I had laying around and it worked like a champ! I forget who you are but thank you very much! Sharing it here because wading in to take a blind down in deep snow is a PIA and ruining one that you left out during a snowstorm gets old and expensive after a while (been there done that).

electric10162 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 I got mine all pulled early this year. The only one still out is the Redneck
allmann Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 I used a piece of 4”pvc around the main hub and both mine held up great. We only had 8” though
Tuck Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Mine stayed up with 2 1/2 PVC but I will do a little upgrade next year to 4"!!!! The snow coming down now will be nothing compared to last week!!! Stay safe
LPJR Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Good to hear...Mine are all good since I now only use a 2x4 in each, propping the top. Little tip- DO NOT use a stick to clear off the snow. It is like using a knife with the blinds. Unless you always wanted a sunroof in yours... madeinuk 1
Timbuk2 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Mine Ameristep caretaker Took A hit with the snow but bounce back I think the chair help Stop it from caving all the way in
Greg Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 I use a piece of 1.5" inside a piece of 2" pvc and telescope it to where I need it to be and then put a pin through predrilled holes. I put caps on both ends and drilled holes around the bottom incase water gets in it and the top cap has a hole in the top for the nut on the hub to fit into. It will collapse down to a smaller size for transport and getting it out of the way when using the blind. hammer4reel 1
