The Scaffold Hide
This isn't a hide for the feint hearted as it is usually elevated to a height of up to 3m. We use professional scaffolders to erect the framework which we then place a canvas cover over to create the hide. Ladders are used to access and handrails and kick boards are installed. This system has been right across the country with us and has been used with everything from golden eagle to goldfinch and lots in-between.
