Unhappy Ground Blind "Bummer"

I just tossed a "Ground Max" brand pop-up blind into the trash. Got one season use out of it. Put it up and took it down 6 times. When I put it out the 3 rd. time, I showed up the next afternoon to use it, and one of the fiberglass rods supporting the roof was snapped in the middle. Repaired that with a short metal tube.

Went to set it up for a pre-season check yesterday. Three of the grommets pulled through the fabric ... 2 sides and the roof. So I replaced these with better grade of grommet. While reassembling another of the fiberglass rods snapped. This time too close to the rod hub to repair. This was an relatively inexpensive ground blind. About $80 as I recall. Wasted $$$ !

Any suggestions for a well made ground blind will be appreciated. Price not an object, but less is better !?! I want something that will last several seasons and is a good design.
