Day Fish House-Ideas Pics Suggestions

[btetzl50]

I'm looking to build an affordable day house to place in the metro area. I have only found info on bigger perms and wheel houses, which someday I hope to step up to.

I'm looking for suggestions, experience, ideas, pics, dimensions, etc. Right now I'm thinking it would fit 2-3 people and SQUEEZE 4 maybe 5 max. There would be no need for bunks or anything else just holes and a heater.

Let the ideas flow!

I have an idea on how to build a 4x8 but so far it's just an idea that I don't have on paper. If Aceinthehole jumps in here, he has a great setup. I'm going to try to copy his but with wood walls and ceiling rather than a tarp. Maybe he has a pic or two as well.

I was also thinking of 4x8 but would like to hear what else is out there. I was thinking wood walls too, as I'd just like to leave it out on one lake for the winter.

I built a cheap 8X8 portable this winter. I basically followed the design of the old suitcase style. Two 1/2" 4X8 pieces of plywood, 1X6s that border each edge of the plywood, and then 5 hinges holding it together. Then I bought some material and sewed it as one piece to make the walls and ceiling and installed a zipper for a door. Under $100 but it shows.

Then I bought PVC pipe and make adjustable poles (because I couldnt find adjustable poles to purchase) that all fit inside the house when it collapsed. Fits in the back of a truck bed. Weighs about 125 pounds. We fit 4 people easy plus a lot of electronics.
