Ice Castle Question Related to the Frame

[Iceman77]

I was told one time that Ice Castle used angle iron in their frames for the cross-members and a few years back they changed to square tubing. If this is true does anyone know the year they changed over??? I am thinking of purchasing an ice house but I really don't want an angle iron frame and would like to know before I go out and start looking at everything.

Call Dave at Milaca Unclaimed Freight and he will tell you everything you want to know about Ice Castles.

I know someone who has an '05 angle iron frame, and someone who has a '10 square tubing frame. That square tubing is JUNK! The guy with '10 wishes his was angle iron, as he has already had his ice castle up on jacks to fix a broken shaft. While it was up on jacks, he said he noticed the square tubing was really thin and it had already began to rust. He was concerned it would rust through very quickly (he said he could basically push it in and dent it with his finger!)

IMO people with newer ice castles are going to have major frame issues a few years down the road.

My 09 has square tubing in the center axle area and up the center and angle iron around the outside.
