kevfish1 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 14X7 PLUS 2 FOOT v FRONT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRH1175 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Where did you get the Studs at? What gauge are they? I found that the big M store has them and you can order pretty much any size and gauge. They definitly are much more money though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevfish1 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Studs came from midwest iron in mankato. Not sure what guage but they will never bend crack or rot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRH1175 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Did you weld or bolt the studs to the trailer? I am thinking of using metal studs when I do mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevfish1 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ordered some hole covers and lites from fish house supply and had them on my door step in 2 days. Great service. Been waiting on some siding from a different company for over a month now. May just have to get some from fish house supply as I am growing very impatient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon P. Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm thinking about building one from the frame up. What did you use for material for the frame? I was thinking 2X3 but not sure what gage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodDuckie Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looks good! Definetely Tyvek it and don't go with anything other than Tyvek or one that looks like it (webbed fibers). I was wondering where you ordered the sising from and if you every got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svonasek Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 where did you order your aluminum siding from and BTW it looks great There's a place not too far from you in annandale that sells siding and roofing. google "prject fish house". I don't know if they have the exact same siding that was used in this project though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevfish1 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yep I got the siding from project fish house in annandale. Spendy stuff but looks good and very easy to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
