I built mine about 7-8 years ago ( with heavy modifications)...the original tarp is still on .There is a bit of wear on the rounded edges of the plywood from folding /refolding shack ....nothing that a bit of duct tape can't handle . Also a few scuff marks on the tarp from rubbing against trees/brush while towing by snowmachine to the lake .I put a 10 inch pony wall all around the outside edge of the 4 x 8 plywood floor(for storage).The tarp comes most of the way down the walls , but doesn`t wrap underneath...therefore no wear in that area...except when folded .All in all a pretty durable outfit .
Was just looking over the instructions that were previously linked and have a question. How do you install the ridge pole or poles so that they are removable to fold down the shack?
how did you attach the rigid foam to your frame ? Glue? Does the coroplast add strenght.I am thinking of using discarded coroplast signs to build a shanty
Home Depot and Lowes sell 4'x8' sheets of a fiberglass material used for waterproof installations such as shower walls. I wonder if it would be liter than the aluminum sheets?
MaineDog - 1st class building effort. Do you dare hazard a guess on how much $ you've got tied up in the project?
Fine job you did, Mainedog! I really like the clean lines and low weight. Not a problem, but I'll bet you have to anchor it in any kind of wind.
Sweet looking shack. Let us know how warm it is. GREAT JOB
