USE & FUNCTION: The Cover-All blind is a recommended addition to the Apex tripod stand. It not only will make this stand a favorite on windy and / or rainy days, but provides excellent cover during all weather conditions. The functionality of the 360 degree rotation (in both directions) allows for undetected viewing in all directions.
MAINTENANCE: I recommend removing the fabric cover during extended periods when not in use. Lower the roof when not in use. |

PRICES & VENDORS FOR COVER-ALL BLIND:
CONCLUSION: The Apex (Model CR9000) free standing platform stand with the Cover-All (Model CR9025) is a good choice, especially when hunting areas that do not have trees where climbing, lock-on, and ladder stands can be properly positioned. The stand with blind is a bit pricey, but is possible to be assembled and installed by one person with moderate effort. The stand could be a little small for XXL+ sized individuals. The stand will be a refuge from inclement weather hunting conditions and has unique features that are very functional.
If you decide the Apex Tripod Stand fills your fixed position hunting stand needs, be sure to budget for the Cover-All Blind. I have been very satisfied with the accessory and I do not think you will be disappointed with its addition.
