Portable Hunting & Ice Fishing Houses With Portability

By Judah R. Davis

The concept of ice fishing houses and portable canvas hunting enclosures are finally being more realized by manufacturers, and are indeed becoming something that is actually practical to use. This isn't something new however, outdoorsmen and women have been using canvas as a way to create shelter for centuries, and it's pretty clear that canvas is extremely durable, and that's what really counts in weatherproof shelters, as well as ice fishing houses.

The outdoors has some rather harsh weather, and most tents and enclosures would be wiped out, but marine upholstery will always stand the test of time in this regard. If you're looking for something that is extremely durable,t hen you would like Aqualon Marine Canvas. Basically you have Vinyl Coated Polyester Canvas which weighs nine ounces per square inch. The material is made from two ply polyester, and this means that it is durable. If this material gives way to the weather, you'd better hope that you're far far away.

These enclosures are also perfect for use as ice fishing houses. No matter how long you want to leave the structure on the ice, you will find that it simply does not give way. Any other enclosure would likely fail at the sight of harsh weather, but this type of canvas is made for any type of weather. You will find that the color even stays with the canvas.

Whether you're in the north or the south, there is always going to be a good reason to use canvas shelters. When you are in the south, you need a place that is cool and free of the sun's deadly rays. These enclosures actually provide a well ventilated shelter, which is surprising. When you take it to the north however, it provides the opposite service, creating a warm shelter for you and your friends to take cover in.

Such shelters can be used as hunting enclosures too. If you are concerned with them being too visible, then do not fear, as they can be camouflaged with ease! In fact it is so easy that many military organizations use these in the field. You don't need to worry about having a hunting cabin or a shack to take shelter in. All you need is the "Wall Tent", as they come in all different shapes and sizes. They will stand up to the weather and bring you through any situation.

All Big Wall Tents are built to last with heavy-duty canvas and reinforcements at all stress points. With its easy setup and roomy design, the Big Wall Tent is an easy choice for any hunter, camper or outdoor enthusiast. The fabric has a breathable, "dry" treatment for mildew and water repellency. Included with the Wall Tent model: Stove Pipe Shield (5"/6" roof - front right corner as entering the tent), Sod cloth - vinyl laminated nylon, double zippered door (#10 HD zippers), Window - 18" x 24" with zippered canvas weather flap, Stakes - 12" Durapeg (high impact resin), Guy Ropes & Tighteners, Tent and Stake Bags, Ridge Pole Openings, 12" Overlap Canvas Door with Side Release Buckles In & Out, and a Heavy Duty canvas reinforcements on ends and peaks.

Ice fishing is extremely popular, especially in the northern most areas. It is simply easier to set up a canvas tent than it is to trek to a cabin or other type of shelter. These take up far less space and can be transported easily. They can even sit on a snowmobile sled. Four people can sit in these shelters and fish without a problem, meaning that you can take all of your gear to any fishing spot. You don't have to worry about it being overly cramped, because it is indeed tall enough to stand up in. There are two different versions out there, from a heavy canvas build, to a lighter and more portable version.

Ice fishing will never quite be the same again with these ice fishing shelters, and you can actually use a generator within the tent. If you tried to use a generator inside any other tent you would run into some serious and potentially fatal problems. On top of that, these can be deployed with ease, and thy are multipurpose. Hunting, fishing, whatever it is you want to do, you can be assured that these tents will accommodate. - 31875
