"Unlike some websites we never say we are the best, that's for our customers
to decide but what we can say is that our products are designed through experience
and are made in our workshop in Devon using the best materials.
For our Dome hides we use proofed and breathable polycotton material and high quality alluminium flexi poles.
Our dome hides pack into a small bag which is easy to carry and stow. We don't use spring out steel frames".

The dome hide has all the features you want in a hide. I've put together the things I've been asked for over the years of running Wildlife Watching Supplies and my own wildlife photography.

The hide is 1.3m (4' 4") square at the base and 1.35m (4'6") high at the centre. This gives plenty of room for one person and a stack of gear.
Large Dome Hide (C.30.1): 1.5m (5') square base, 1.49m (nearly 5') high at centre.

Quick to put up. Just thread the two Aluminium flexipoles through, and then hook the ends into the brass eyelets at the corners.

  • The hide is free-standing, but in strong winds the guy ropes and pegs provided can be used. Guy rope loops are also on the inside of the hide. These can be used if you want to move the hide while you are in it.

  • Windows - One main front window and two side windows. The front window 35cm (14") x 26cm (10") has a material flap, scrim net and insect net. The side windows 15cm (6") square have a material flap and net. All the windows are large enough to put a long lens through. There is also a tripod flap at the front.
    Large Dome Hide (C.30.1) has a larger front window.

    Central back flap with overlap, Velcro tabs and tie cords (lens can be put through the flap between the Velcro tabs).

  • Made from proofed and breathable material in camouflage pattern, or Advantage leaf pattern.

    Made to order in Plain White. Also available in desert pattern (not proofed).

    Folds down to fit in a bag 50cm (20") by 18cm 7" dia. and only weighs approx. 2.7kg. including the two aluminium alloy flexipoles and pegs. Light enough and small enough to fit in your rucksack or suitcases.
    Large Dome Hide (C.30.1) weighs 3.3kg.

    Our hides have been built to last. The best materials have been used and sewn together with an industrial overlock machine to give added strength. High quality nylon webbing peg loops and nylon guy ropes used. The pegs and poles are high tensile aluminium, these are very strong, but extremely light - an important factor in designing and building a hide. Our hides are sold worldwide, and we have materials for all seasons and climates including snow and desert patterns.

    I made a log feeder to attract the birds. From the hide which is 4m away it just looks like a small tree. As the log feeder is moveable (metal spike) you can place it where you have the best light for the time of day that you are in the hide.

    This dome hide has been in place for over eighteen months and has been through the wet and windy weather of 2001/02. The natural shape of the dome hide allows the rain to run off and be aerodynamic in the wind.

    There are no flat tops to puddle or square sides to act like sails. I check the hide and guy ropes every couple of days when I top up the bird feeders. Over the time the hide has been in place, it has kept it's weather proofing. The polycotton material used is ideal as it is proofed, breathable and rot resistant.
