Home made bay runner
« on: Jan 10, 2015, 08:13 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has made a homemade bay runner style ice house. I was thinking of making One and any tips or pictures would be appreciated my main questions would be how to go about cutting the floor on a sled, how to do the windows and how to do the door the frame would be pretty easy i would think but who knows.

It would be pretty tough doing a fabric shanty, but would be one hell of a project. Giving the post a bump to see if anyone has ideas...would be pretty interesting if you did it right!

Be even better if someone was to design a kit for a couple of different manufactures of sled.

Bumping this post to see if anyone has attempts this over the off season. Would be nice to have a 2 person version to pull behind a machine

I'm just going to bump this, as I'm going to pickup a bayrunner this weekend used.

Plan on reverse engineering it to make a diy-able thing. 

Quick thoughts.  Fabric will be the hardest part - I think I may call a custom canvas place about this.  There's a few on the web that do insulated ones.

Plan to have deployable feet/smitty - that way the holes aren't so much in danger of getting messed up on a regular sled.

Thinking i'll base it around the Jet Sled Magnum - so 71x44 - which would give more space.  However they sell their mini Magnum which is the same size of the BR2 i believe - 60x44.
Ope! hey there bud, be sure to tell your folks I says hi

Keep wild places wild, be a good role model for young ones, keep public lands and accesses clean so we never lose them.

If your looking for an easy way to assemble pipes of some sort check out https://makerpipe.com/. I am not affiliated with them at all. Just came across them when trying to do some DIY of my own. Really cool and easy way to connect 1/2" or 3/4" conduit.
