- This is an overview of our homemade ice shanty ( bobhouse, ice hut, fishing shack) we built in 2017 to keep at our local lake; Ticklenaked Pond in Ryegate, Vermont. Main features are a folding bench, panoramic window, 3 floor holes, standing seam roof, and downhill ski runners for easy maneuverability.
8x4' Floor
5'5 high in the front, 7'5 in the back
I would recommend not going as high in the back because it has tipped over due to high winds and too much forward weight with that roof.
It probably weighs around 250-300lbs.
It stays on this lake all season and we tug it on/off with either an ATV, snowmobile or Truck. It can be pushed around from spot to spot by one person when the conditions are good.

Looks great on the outside and inside. I like the green metal roof. We built a similar shaped house 8 years ago. 3/8" sanded plywood which was stained. I like the front plexiglass windows for viewing. Last year I added windows to the top rear and it made an incredible difference in light quality inside the shanty. I wish I had done it earlier. Great job.
Almost perfect design! I am trying to figure out what would be the most efficient for myself. This design is awesome! I would just have to add a hidden room so my kids could fit. Also thinking about the weight as well! Very nice design!
I always wondered what happened to Radar from MASH
🤣🤣🤣
Simple and perfect
Looks great, we built one similar to yours, roof was painted ply, but will be looking for some metal like yours this spring. One thing we did was put a walk door on each end, makes it easy to get out to tips without crossing each other. Thanks for posting, tight lines.
Good idea with the double doors. Might have to do that as well.
Tight lines!
Looks like a fun build for my 13yr old bot n me
Yeah fairly straightforward. Enjoy!
Nicely done sir.
Thanks
What are the dimensions of this ice house? Thinking about building one based on a similar design..
Do you have any dimensions on how you built it. I would like to build something like this.
Well the floor is obviously 4’ x 8’….build from there
What do you think it weighs? Here in Colorado you are required to remove them every day. So keeping it as light as possible is important if you have to move it twice a day.
Its not light. The roof we put on this is pretty heavy and a little overkill. I wouldn't build something like this if you don't have an ATV or snowmobile or something to tug it around if need be. Also, the back doesn't need to be as high, which is 7 1/2 ft on ours. When conditions are good, one person can slide it along on the ice no problem... I'd guess its somewhere around 250-300lbs, to answer your question.
That's an unfortunate law. That would really cramp my style.

In that case, get a hub shelter. Absolutely zero point in building something like this if you have to remove it daily. They make some pretty large hubs now a days.
Does it get drafty since you don’t have any sleeves in the holes sealing against the floor?
Not too bad, but sleeves would help for those super cold, windy days. We usually just pack ice and snow from drilled holes. That does a good job of making a barrier.
How wide and long is it ? How many people can sit in it lol
8x4' floor. Bench sits 3 people with room for a 4th small foldout chair if need be... Check out the "Airplane almost lands on shanty video" in our channel to see it being used. Tight Lines!
*Whats the total cost*
It was around $160 - $180 for lumber, plywood, plexiglass, screws and hinges. The roof was a barter with a friend, using his scraps.
How do you transport it?
We keep it on this one lake. Drag on/off with ATV or snowmobile. It can be pushed by one person when there isn't a ton of snow on the ice.
We tug it on and off the ice with an ATV, Snowmobile or Truck (if the ice is thick enough). It can be pushed by one person if conditions are good; that is, no heavy/wet/deep snow. It stays on this lake, though I'm sure you could load it on a trailer and haul it from lake to lake.
Im sorry.... "tickle naked pond" 😅😅 is that really its name?
Ha! Yep
