Since it was too big to fit in my SUV (by like 3/4 inch. Sad)I sold it before I had it over a summer.

Perfect for windy days. Keeps you out of the wind better than a hub or canvas any day. Need to be just as careful setting it up as you would the hub or canvas clam, but once it's up, your golden.

Wind will destroy that thing when you try that on a lake or river. What was the material cost?

It's not that flimsy that wind is going to destroy it in any way. Build was too long ago to remember exactly, but I think around $300?

Your not wrong. But really no different than trying to set up a canvas one in the wind. The difference being, once this is up, it's better protection from the wind.

What did you use for the exterior material (the black part)?? It appears to be lighter than plywood in the video.

It was a Luan type material. Not Plywood. I think 1/8 thick? Still ended up too heavy for me. : (

It is homemade. Kind of a pain if your not EXACTLY sure how it goes, as it was for me. I had some plans written down but as I went along things changed when I saw things weren't going to work as hoped. No final plans though.

@@ryanstevenson1364 Ryan, simply use caution just as you would setting up a canvas hub or single Clam. The benefit is it is heavier and will stay put better than a Clam if you leave it to check on a tip up. You can always add lanyard hold downs much the same as hub styles as well. But once it's set up, you won't notice the wind from inside.

Thanks Robert. The base of the shack stays up and the walls surrounding it fold down. This allows you to store gear in it. The final size of the shack folded is: 82 1/4" long 45" wide 38 1/4" tall (with removable skis attached. 34 without skis) (built to fit in the bed of a pickup. 6 1/2' beds and shorter will just have to leave the tailgate down.) Unfolded, the inside height is 67 1/2" (I'm short) I used Luan for the material to try and keep it light. But it ended up a lot heavier than I hoped. I ended up selling it since I couldn't load and unload by myself easy enough. Not exactly sure on total weight though. 200lbs? 250lbs? this is just guessing.
