I dont suggest you glue anything together. Use sheet metal screws to secure a few key joints to make 6 - 8 total pieces. That way if you break a piece you can unscrew it and replace it, and it makes for easy set up in the dark. As for the netting leave it unattached, and cover it each time. Army camo netting only works well it you have a dark background behind you, otherwise the ducks can see right through the stuff. Good luck laugh
