Fish House frames

[Fat Rap guy]

I'm looking into building a 6.5' by 12' fish house. My brother works at a welding shop and can get me metal at wholesale cost. I'm not sure what size tubing I'll need for the frame, tongue, etc. Any suggestions?

The frame on my 8'x16' is 2"x4' along the perimeter and the tongue, 2"x2" for all the cross members. My walls are 2"x2" aluminum. Hope this helps. Also, as a suggestion, run the tongue the full length of the frame, you will be happy you did! Make sure you set your wheels so they track right behind your truck tires, you don't want to be breaking the snow with the trailer. Also check out this forum topic from last season.

Good luck, if you are in the cities, I welcome you to come and take a look at mine for ideas on interior features. Just give me a heads up first.

Built mine out of 3 x 3 x 1/4" angle. Made the tongue out of 2.5 x 2.5 x 3/16" square tubing.
