Homemade Portable Shanty Build
Mfu5324:
So I decided to employ the help of
My dad to rebuild the side walls. The first one was just too wide at 6 ft 2 inches. Afraid of it fitting into truck bed. So I recut the eclipse on the jig (measured inside diameter this time). Now the ends are 58 inches
Also as we bent the tube we added 2x4s about every 8 inches to hold the arch in place as we bent it which made it way easier to keep the shape
Mfu5324:
We got both sides completed. In the pic I put them the 8ft apart to see how room it will be. I can say it will will fish 3 way way easy. 4 will be fine and you won’t run elbows etc. next will be the 2 section folding floor so the shanty will fold up to 6ft long instead of 8 ft
Mfu5324:
A bit more down today. Got the floor frame welded up and hinged. Looked like it will fold up to unde 8 to 10 inches. Got a tarp ordered so waiting on it
