Will it sink?

How much ice do you need to feel comfortable putting your perm shack out there? I have a 4x6 made from 2x4s and thick plywood. Its on the heavier side. Im thinking 7-8 inches.

Most wheelers start hitting the ice at 6" do you plan to pull it out with a wheeler or yourself?

I'd be ok on 8" if there were no significant warm ups in the forecast.

4' x 6' isn't very big even if it is built heavy. I've taken my 6' x 12' out on 6'' with my 4-wheeler no problem.

It's made of wood. It'll probably float for a while at least, regardless of ice thickness

I have it staged and ready to go on the shore and probably could push it out by hand. I have what looks like 4 inches of ice.

If you can push it out yourself I would feel safe at 5-6”
