Portable Pullover Question

[Schleichenator]

So I bought a pull-over portable shelter at the end of last season. I spent 20 minutes trying to get the @*$@! zipper to open/close. It was constantly stuck.

Does anyone have a fix for the zippers freezing on a shelter? When it freezes, there's no operating it. This is a problem as it tends to be FREEZING during ice fishing season.

Apply Chapstick to the zipper. I keep an extra stick in my house and reapply as needed.

It also helps to keep the zipper closed to the top so the moving part doesn't get full of snow/ice.

Yea that's what i do keep the zipper at the top of the door so when you are putting snow around the bottom of the house it don't hit the zipper. It shoul help i have not had any problems.

Run a bar of Ivory soap up and down it. I've used that on snow bibs and houses zippers every year!

+1 on the Chapstick. pretty much any wax/oil based substance will keep the moisture away from your zipper.
