I remove mine after every season, It takes about 2 minutes. It takes a little longer now that i secured the grass to the outside of the boat with metal strips and screws to hold it on so when you fold it up the grass isnt hanging in the boat. It comes off easy enough that i used to take the blind off the boat and use it as a ground blind when we could not hunt from the boat. I used the tubing and it is really strong.
