How do you attach a plywood blind to an iron stand? Do you just drill holes through the iron and plywood, then use bolts and nuts?

Either that or use self tapping screws. Or Duct Tape, lol.

I'd have to look at the blind and the stand...
If the stand is made of pipe I'd probably use u-bolts.
If the stand is angle iron I'd use bolts and nuts.

Most fiberglass blinds have plywood bottoms and we have always just drilled through the wood and the angle iron on the base.

I use self tapping screws on my pallet rack. Works great and is easy.

yes they are, if you are going to do that out at the lease, take an extra drill/battery.

Agreed. I have about 6 batt's for my dewalt. Never can have too many! But I also carry an inverter for charging in the truck.

I have always just used nuts and bolts. One guy on the inside, the other on the outside.
