Hi all
I have a smallish garden ( about 20ft x 60 ft ) mainly laid to lawn with a lot of bushes and trees growing in the bottom part. I am trying to set up an area to photograph birds and will sort out from food, branches and background to help. I'm looking for a hide small enough to fit in and I want to be able to use a tripod with it. I thought I'd set it up around 15ft from the feeding area.
I saw this and thought it might be worthwhile

and although I'd have to open up the front for the tripod, I planned to cover it with mesh. Then I thought why bother with the hide and why not stick the mesh over some supports which would seem to achieve the same result. I know it won't be waterproof but I don't care about that. Any suggestions for assembling a simple frame to cover with camo mesh? Also, any recommendations as to types of mesh?
Thank you for your help
EDIT
As an afterthought, I could sit in the shed with the door open and using the much mentioned mesh but it means I'd be facing South and I'm not sure if that's great or not?
