Need a new cover
« on: Jan 12, 2012, 12:30 AM »
I'm looking for ideas on re-covering an old shanty. It's a Kabinette, the original flipover style. It is no longer manufactured. The shelter was covered in clear plastic. Was like sitting in a greenhouse. Problem is the plastic dried up and crumbled off. This shelter sets up like a cocoon. Five half hoops of conduit joined at the bottom. Let's hear some ideas.
God grant me strength to catch a fish
So large that even I
When telling of it afterwards
May never need to lie.

No idea other than buying a sowing machine.
Life's to short live it as if you don't have tomarrow.

try a auto upholstery shop. I have a kabinette and they should be able to make one.
Born to fish, fish to live..... gotta drink something so it might as well be a cold beer!

Maybe a boat cover shop or a tent and awning place could build something for you good luck.

that Kabinette is quite the shanty, was it designed to be an ice shanty?  looks like it would make a good green house.

            yes it was designed as a shanty for ice fishing              thanks Mattzilla

     I've been spelling it wrong Kabbanette made in about 1968-70 time frame by a Physicist  it  made it in Popular Science mag.October 1970 page 30 and 40 and also the Chicago Tribune Wednesday Feb.22 1978
