Portable Hunting & Ice Fishing Houses With Portability
The concept of ice fishing houses and portable canvas hunting enclosures are finally being more realized by manufacturers, and are indeed becoming something that is actually practical to use. This isn’t something new however, outdoorsmen and women have been using canvas as a way to create shelter for centuries, and it’s pretty clear that canvas is extremely durable, and that’s what really counts in weatherproof shelters, as well as ice fishing houses.
Even the harshest of weather cannot touch marine upholstery. One of the higher grade canvases is known as the Aqualon marine Canvas. This consists of Vinyl Coated Polyester Canvas, weighing nine ounces per square inch. It also features a two ply polyester duck double. Basically, this means it is extremely tough, and will not give way easily. Along with that it is very stable and the weight is distributed properly.
As far as ice fishing houses go, these structures will be left out on the ice for a very long time. In fact they can even be out there for several months. As you can imagine, there going to be conditions that would be less than ideal for any other material, but the canvas holds up very nicely. In fact, it is so durable that it doesn’t even lose it’s color during conditions that would destroy most materials.
Whether you’re in the north or the south, there is always going to be a good reason to use canvas shelters. When you are in the south, you need a place that is cool and free of the sun’s deadly rays. These enclosures actually provide a well ventilated shelter, which is surprising. When you take it to the north however, it provides the opposite service, creating a warm shelter for you and your friends to take cover in.
Canvas tents and shelters are also used for modified hunting enclosures out in the open and can be camouflaged accordingly Canvas tents are used on safaris Lodges in Africa or for military base camps. The “Wall Tent” for every hunter on an extended hunt such as an Elk Trip, Big Horn Sheep, the Texas Big-Game hunt or a backcountry hunt on your own private land. Forget the cabin or the hunting shack and create the classic safari-style “Wall Tent” for the enthusiast who would create an outdoor alluring space. It is everything you need that evokes a passion for classic canvas – that tan A-frame style that can run from 8′ to 16′ in length depending on the size you need. This tent is made to meet the challenge of even the toughest weather.
Big Wall tents are just as tough as any other canvas enclosure, and are heavily reinforced at the stress points. It is easy to deploy, making it ideal for any hunter out there, as well as those who are interested in the outdoors. There are many items included with the tent, ranging from a Stove Pipe Shield, Sod Cloth, and a zippered door.
Ice fishing is extremely popular, especially in the northern most areas. It is simply easier to set up a canvas tent than it is to trek to a cabin or other type of shelter. These take up far less space and can be transported easily. They can even sit on a snowmobile sled. Four people can sit in these shelters and fish without a problem, meaning that you can take all of your gear to any fishing spot. You don’t have to worry about it being overly cramped, because it is indeed tall enough to stand up in. There are two different versions out there, from a heavy canvas build, to a lighter and more portable version.
So basically these ice fishing shelters are great for hunting or fishing, whichever sounds like your cup of tea. They are easily customized, and because they are so large you will be able to invite your friends to come with you. It is easy to deploy, and they are also quite easily shipped. You can have the sent through UPS or FEDEX, or you can move them yourself with your truck. They are easy to ventilate and you can even put a portable generator within for those times when you need to cook or heat the tent. Your ice fishing experience will never be the same again.
