Doug H, of Green Junction Maine, sent us these photos of a custom-designed ice fishing trailer and hut that he built using 22 oz vinyl tarps. Doug writes:
"I could not be more happy with my experience with Heavy Duty Tarps. The customer service and help was outstanding. The turnaround time to make my custom tarp was super quick. The quality of your product is top notch! I continue to spread the good word about your company to my friends and family.
I designed and built a custom fish house for ice fishing and your tarps made it possible. Pictures attached."
Here we show the trailer containing the auger and other gear. Under the box are the front and back plywood walls, these are hinged so that they can easily be inverted.
The vinyl sides are permanently mounted to the side walls so that, after the sides are flipped up, the structure is "move in ready".
There is a surprising amount of room in this hut.
If you want to copy Doug's design, I am sure he would not mind sharing his plans. Please let us know if you need help making a hut like this. Since you will probably want to heat or cook in your ice fishing hut, be sure to read our post on carbon monoxide safety.
