fish house wheels freezing.

[canadian]

Iv seen these great big fish houses on wheels. Doesn;t the wheels get frozen in the ice.

Never had or heard of that problem.

By no means am I an expert but I dont see it as a problem. My dad and I just put retractable wheels on our camoer conversion fish house and when the wheels are retracted they will realy have a very small foot print on the ice. Now that being said I would think that if the house is left out on one of the stretches where we have warm melting ice that generates big puddles it may be a problem after it freezes again. But I agree I have never heard of this being a problem either from the people that I know who have wheel houses.

I've had this problem.

The black tires reflect heat from the sun, and somewhat melt into the ice. If they only go in a few inches it's no big deal. I wheel up the house, and move it. If I plan on staying for a few days I'll drop the tires on a 2x4 so they don't feeze down.

Yes, I remove the 2x4's when I leave.

I dont know anything about wheeled houses because the one Im working on is my first!But I will be leaveing my house in one spot once I find that hot spot!So I will be parking it on a short 2 by 6 to keep it out of the water that comes up on the ice when you put something heavy on it!

I built my drop down house 15 years ago and I've never had the wheels freeze down.

Never happened to me in over 20 years!

Mine is not a dropdown so it will be sitting on the wheels and tong.Every time I put out my permanent house on skids if I did not block it up atleast 2" it would freeze down with in 2 days.I cant really see any reason not to block it up,so yes mine will be setting on 2 by 6 to keep it out of the water.
