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 toughest weather conditions stand up to marine upholstery namely Aqualon Marine Canvas, a high grade canvas fabric that is made of: Vinyl Coated Polyester Canvas at 9 ounces per square yard and a two-ply polyester duck double coated with a pigmented vinyl resin on the top side. This means, TOUGH. The underside is coated with a durable water resistant finish and is usually white in color. This gives an excellent dimensional stability and weight to strength ratio.

In terms of ice fishing houses, these portable semi-permanent structures spend long periods of time, sometimes months on the ice left to weather the storms and thaws. The quality of canvas construction icehouses remains flexible in all climates as well as the color will not rub off. It is resistant to mildew, abrasions, water penetration, most petroleum products, ultra-violet rays, a wide range of acid and alkaline liquids and it will not crack, peel or harden.

The climate in the north and south both call for the canvas shelters. There are two different reasons for this, but both reasons are quite important. Believe it or not, even in the heat of the desert canvas stays cool and provides adequate shade. It even blocks out the sun while remaining breathable and permitting moisture to penetrate it's thick construction. In contrast, it stays warm and holds heat in the coldest of weather.

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.

Like all canvas enclosures, Big Wall tents are tough, and they feature heavy reinforcement, especially on their stress points. It's fairly simple to actually deploy, no matter what type of hunter you happen to be. Anyone who is interested in the great outdoors should definitely have one of these in their arsenal, as is includes many great items. These items can be a Stove Pipe Shield, zippered door, and a Sod Cloth. All of which will help anyone that thrives in the great outdoors.

Ice fishing is a most popular sport in northern regions where a simple tent pole construction allows the angler to set up the ice house in short time and store it during summer months and reuse each year with minimal space required that some big wooden/metal structures require. These spacious canvas fish houses fit on your snowmobile sled. They fold out on both sides providing enough room for four to fish comfortably. Now you can haul all your gear with ease and "pack-in" to distant fishing spots. The canvas shell features: hardware, framework and complete instructions. It is tall enough to stand up in, has two zippered doors, two large side vents with flaps, two large windows with flaps, and is available in a heavy canvas construction or a lightweight 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. - 24553
