Title: Frabil Ice Shuttle windbreak
Post by: rdhammah on Aug 11, 2022, 11:48 AM
I recently acquired a Frabil Ice Shuttle with poles but no windbreak. I'd like to fabricate on with in inexpensive tarp basically as a tryout. any suggestions as to how to secure the folds to make the sleeves for the poles?

how about some PVC clamps ...looks to come in multiple sizes . Funny thing I found these while looking for something else and fell down the rabbit hole .

Lay it out flat & fold over 1". , gorrilla tape. the seam & seal w/ flexspray.

That's been my go to for years on shanty repairs & it out lives the shack.
