WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CUSTOM ICE HOUSES
What Is The Best Type Of Ice House
The best type of ice shelter really depends on what kind of fishing you'll be doing. For spear fishermen, dark houses with limited light are necessary. For your average angler, insulated ice shelters provide the warmth and comfort desired. And for the weekend warrior, wheel houses provide a quick in-and-out option.
The Fabric Quality You Can Expect
The lasting time of fabric used outdoors is really determined by natural wear & tear, how extreme the outdoor elements are, and what kind of UV light it experiences. You can estimate that Canvas Craft fabrics, assuming they are well maintained, will last 8-12 years.
What Is The Average Cost For A Custom Ice House
At Canvas Craft, our ice houses range from $500 to $1,900 depending on the type of house you're looking for. For each style of ice house, we offer a furbished version and a kit version. The furbished version comes with everything to setup your ice house, while the kit provides some materials with directions (for your DIY person).
Be Sure You’re Considering Insulation
The way insulation is measured is through what’s called an R value. Essentially, the higher the R value, the greater the insulating effectiveness of the material. At Canvas Craft, we use Norpac R2, which has been proven to be one of the premier insulated fabrics on the market.
Ice Houses Have Many, Many Names
A few common names for ices fishing houses include: flip over, ice shanty, fishing shanty, hub house, dark house, spear house, wheelhouse, suitcase style fish house, or simply, ice house. While some of these refer to different styles of shelter, it’s important to understand that at the end of the day, they are all ice fishing shelters.
