My neighbor is a craftsman and has built a lot of shanties, he built this one for me and I obtained the covering material from an outdoor advertising company. I was going to paint it but it's looks kinda grew on me...I love it!

This was right after we covered it, the door, LP tank and runners are on it now.

Never have to worry about someone stealing your shanty! ;D  That's cool and unique.  I like it.

Thank you!! I'm counting the days to Feb so I can plant it on the ice!

This is my friends shanty that I used last year, I got "hooked" on ice fishing because of this shack!

wow thats great all the different colors makes it look sweet. maybe your shack will make it to the cover of a mag because its so unique...but dont forget , in ohio you are supposed to have your name and address on the outside somewhere..... 8)
the time you spend fishing cannot be deducted from your life...

Now those are cool. We will be able to spot those on the ice.
