Ground Force blind

[Roughneck1542]

Any one have problems with the durability of the floor on these? I used mine maybe 4 times at the end of last season and there are a couple of tears in the fabric of the floor. I'm not sure if it is the frame causing this or the tie down straps rubbing through when I transport it and the rest of my gear to the field using a small trailer pulled by a quad. I really like the blind but I don't want to have to repair it all the time with duct tape. Can I buy a replacement cover for the frame? Is the floor any thicker on the newer models?

I got one of the first year 06 GF's ,I have'nt any problems with the floor.I have had mine on many kinds of terrain from field to exposed river bottom gravel and rocks and have'nt had an issue yet with it.I dont know if the material is any thicker than it is on the 08 model.
Do the rubbed or torn area's seem to be coming from the exterior or the interior of the blind?

I have the same issue on all 3 of my Ground Forces!! Good thing my grandma is really good at sewing.

Had the same thing happen here on two of them here. One used maybe 6 times total. The other maybe 30 to 40 times. Tore at the end where the main support frame rest at the back of the blinds. Mine might last this year only.

Have a quarter sized hole in the bottom of mine too right towards the very back of the blind and I only used mine a handful of times. Sure haven't had a problem with my X-Landr' and its been hunted for 3 years!

I would recommend calling customer service and letting them know what is going on. They have always been really good to take care of me when I have had problems. You might want to have your receipt ready to fax in if needed. If you ordered them from Macks or Cabelas they usually can send you a copy of your order if you have misplaced it.

Hope this helps.

Yeah I told C.S. about it when I had to get a new door frame....he said it would be cheaper to patch it up rather then send it in (pay shipping both ways), wait, and have them decide if is was due to misuse or what (not to mention it was hunting season!). I denied and am going to have my g/f sew it shut and reinforce the back with something.
