mnhunter2 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Whats the story on this manufacturer, they look like a yetti but there must be some differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSK76 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I was told it was a worker for Yetti that started the firebrand brand. I looked at each side by side and found quite a few thing I like about the firebrand over the Yetti. It's been a few months now so I don't remember all of the differences but some of them are thicker (deeper) frame, aluminum on the frame is bent over the ends (hard to explain), differnt axel systems, I think FB uses electric jacks and a torsion axel. I think the roof on the FB is one piece and the Yetti uses the same stuff as on the sides. I think both brands are top notch but when it comes to looks alone I think Yetti wins but I like a few things on the FB more it would come down to what I could get a better deal on.

Rexx Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The electric jacks come on the 8 ft. houses. Otherwise they have a simple crank system on the smaller houses. Another difference is the different size options. FB offers a 6 1/2 x 10, 6 1/2 x 12, 6 1/2 x 14, 6 1/2 x 16, 8 x 14, 8 x 16, and a 8 x 18. They also offer a bay window in their finishing packages.
