Portable Shelter

[StCroixNewB]

Last year, I bought an Otter sled and used it to pull my ice fishing gear. I have an older Cabelas suitcase-style shanty mounted on a plywood floor and would set this on top of the sled, folded up, to pull it out to the site. Not the easiest setup so I want to get a fold-out type shanty that mounts right on the sled. Does anyone know if the canvas/poles from other manufacturers fit on the Otter sled or do I need to get the Otter fish-house?

Check out Canvas Craft.

otter and canvas craft. They are about the same for cost though.

Thanks... checked them out - looks like a good product although it would be nice to have a bit more info as to materials, assembly, etc.

The Otter setup is not too bad to install. A couple hours and you should be done.

You will have to mount a couple of brackets on the tub, and then put all the pole assemblies together. Then you put the canvas over the frame work.

go with the Otter, I have 2 of them and they are awesome.

Like Gissert said, it shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours to line up all the holes and mount in the brackets that are used to put the poles in place.

Take a look at Otter Outdoors and spend a little time on their site. I've contacted their customer service support line before and 100% guarentee they'll help you out with any question you might have.

What's nice with a house like this is that if you chose to use your sled during the summer for what have you, just unscrew the bolts and store your house...you have a sled to use house free.
