ha ha that i really don't know but id have to say somewhere around 250 but its double walled and fully insulated. i pulled it in the snow today to see how it goes and its not to bad. i can put it the back of my truck on my own so its manageable.

Certainly an upgrade from last year.
I only see one big problem with it. The pressed particle board material usually doesn't like water/or to be wet.
Other than that it looks like you have the sign well secured.

those Dyna Glo's are the cat's A$$!!! I have been using 1 for 3 years. Never had an issue with it. Now I have a dual burner which runs on 2 small tanks. The 2 burner will drive you right out of the shack :D :D well worth the money...

Where did you get the Fishing Pox sign?

I have got to have one!!

Even eminent chartered accountants are known, in their capacity as fishermen, blissfully to ignore differences between seven and ten inches, half a pound and two pounds, three fish and a dozen fish.

all i can say is wow.........that is a shack
when chuck norris played golf for money, chuck marked down a hole in zero every time, the golf pro said, "chuck: you can't score zero on a hole." Chuck norris turned towards the man and said, "I'm chuck norris, the man proceeded to pour gas over his body and set himself on fire because that would be less painful than getting roundhouse kicked by chuck norris....chuck norris roundhouse kicked him in the face anyways

Fished with Makeshift on Saturday and he brought the famous shack. I must say I was impressed with his design efforts. this shack although grossly over weight folds down all four walls with hinges into a nice neat pile. He really used his knoggin while constructing this one. Being young and somewhat of a body builder he can afford to lug the extra weight around. So I give him Kudo's for his new makeshift shaty and hope it serves him well for at least a couple of years.

Makeshift if you don't travel this week with NHFisah and want to fish next weekend with us give me a call.
