The cross supports work great to sturdy the blind in higher wind conditions. They also allow you to put a nice divider between your hunting buddy if need be.

Worked good for our use.

These work great, especially, if you're hunting marsh edges and don't want to lug out the wind stabilizer. One other thing that is nice, even with the stabilizer, is you can use these as brush supports and lay grass panels over to close up the overhead hole. Pretty simple, yet practical.

Between last season & now - the supports were mis-placed (sad). So New ones were bought.(happy) They are an important part of the blind. Thanks.

Great product!
