Ice Shanty Ski's

[ldebriyn8]

i have an ice shack thats two years old and i wooden ski's but i have nothing on the bottom and the wood doesnt slide to well so i was thinking about just buying some Teflon for the bottom but i was wondering what your ideas would be for the bottom of the ski'z because the wood will just keep on wearing away. please reply ice fishing isnt to far away

Thanks

get some aluminum coil stock and cover the ski's with them

instead of buying hyfax i would go to the lumber yard and but the plastic siding trim its a little cheaper and is made out of the same material you can get it up to 12 feet long i think

you could replace them with some metal ski's that have plastic bottoms.  You could pick up a pair from a garage sale for few bucks and then use the ski wax to really make them slide.   I also use the car wax, like the liquid Turtle Wax and apply it to the bottom of the sled and let it set over night in a warm basement. Makes all the difference when there is some snow on the ice.
