We only use quality, professionally constructed and welded trailers, with premium lumber and materials. After all, you want your fish house to last a lifetime not just a few seasons. We build our fish houses one at a time, by actual fisherman!

Trailers
The investment of your ice fishing house starts with the quality of your fish house trailer. You do not want to take any shortcuts on this item. Whether you are building your own or purchasing a completed unit, you want to make sure it is of high quality that is professional welded and constructed of square tubing steel. That is all we handle here at Fish House Supply! Click here for more information on our "Theft Proof" trailers

Floors
We use only premium kiln dried 3/4" treated plywood. That means DRY wood with no knots. We will not use the soaked treated plywood that most other manufacturers will use. The cost of good kiln dried plywood is twice the cost as discounted treated lumber but the floor will not dry rot and will last 10 times longer.

We also glue all of our floors down with an industrial floor glue along with special coated self-drilling floor screws (sold in our trailer accessories section). Coated fasteners are needed with the copper added chemicals in today's treated lumber. Some manufacturers will shoot steel nails or use non-coated fasteners - these types of fasteners won't last in the new treated lumber. All floors must be glued and fastened with a coated fastener.

Walls and Ceilings
All of our wall studs and ceiling rafters are 16" on center, again with straight premium lumber. Ceilings are constructed with 2" x 4"s, pre-drilled and (2) 3" screws added to each end of rafters with R13 - 3 1/2" fiberglass insulation to help roof breathe.

Walls are 2" x 2" or 2" x 3" (customers choice) with 2" x 4"s on the corners for extra strength. Not only are the studs stapled, they are also pre-drilled with (2) 3" screws added to each end of each stud to keep walls together on the rough lake roads.

Paneling
For many years all that anyone in this industry ever used (and some still are) is 1/8" paneling. It just does not last very long in a fish house. It warps on the ceiling, the facing will come off usually near the floor where it can frost up in cold weather, then begin to rot and it does not add any support in keeping your walls strong. So now we only use a light weight, all wood, 1/4" paneling that is twice as strong and will outlast and 1/8" paneling on the market.

Windows and Doors
Thermal pane windows are now a standard feature not an added option for all our fish houses and kits. Single pane windows do nothing but sweat and we do not carry that window any longer.

Doors are a maintenance free high gloss RV door that has fiberglass skins, foam insulated and has a round door knob with (2) keys. The advantage with fiberglass skins over aluminum are that they will not dent.

Roof
One-piece RV aluminum rolled roof (choice of colors). The roof starts on the back of the fish house and rolls over the rounded front that has an interlocked end to start off with the first piece of siding in it. It is fastened on the outer edges only with no exposed fasteners and trimmed with a decorative RV trim with a water-tight caulk/tape underneath it.

Siding
Horizontal 9 1/2" interlocking RV siding (choice of colors). With the use of a narrower type interlock, your siding will stay flat against the wall of your fish house and only needs to be fastened on the bottom edge and on the ends of the siding eliminating the need for any outside exposed fasteners that could leak. We also use the decorative trim that goes on every corner and all edges, top and bottom and around all windows with the water-tight caulk behind it and a screw cover on the outside. When your fish house is finished there are no outside fasteners, raw edges of siding, or diamond plate exposed.

Diamond Plate
Standard feature on all our fish houses and fish house kits. 24" high x width of fish house that mounts in front to protect aluminum siding from rocks and debris.
