I am presently building a new ice shanty and (The house mother says that this had better be the last one!) I have several questions. It will be 6ft long by 5ft wide and the ends are like inverted u's. What makes a good,lightweight,durable and inexpensive cover? If I fasten the cover on permanently do I have to make the end height shorter than the floor length so that when I fold the ends down on top of one another I will have enough slack in the length so as not to rip the cover off of one of the ends? At the point where the ends hinge and fasten to the base and where the covering will be fastened on both the side of the ends and the side of the base what do I do to keep the cover from ripping when the ends are folded down? I hope that I have made this clear enough and I appreciate any help you brothers can offer. I am a Pennsylvania resident and really enjoy reading the tips etc. on this forum.
