MERRY CHRISTMAS: Our Home-Ade Ice Fishing Shanty

our fishing shanty we built now it has hinges and a cool door knob. This is just our 5 foot long 4 foot wide ice fishing shanty. Its not the best shanty but, it will work good for what we are doing.

hey guys great job on the shanty was wondering if you would use your hobo stove or some way to heat it while you are fishing to keep the chill out? yes the particle board does swell up and fall apart after a while maybe a coat of old marine paint on the outside will help expand its life. looking forward to seeing some ice fishing in the shanty this winter.

peace men

Yes deck sealer will do the job and can be brushed on. But doing it outside in the winter, not sure how it will work. If you can get some try a small part to see how it works and how long it takes to dry. Good luck.
