ICE FISHING HUT ASSEMBLY

•Connect the Joist Blocking (1) to the Floor Joists (2) using 3" Deck Screws. •Connect the Rim Joists (3) to the Floor Joists (2) using 3" Deck Screws.
NOTE:
• This Ice Fishing Hut is compact enough to fit in a 4' x 6½'
truck box with the tailgate closed. It can be constructed with
or without windows and insulation can be added to the walls,
floor, and ceiling as desired.
• lt is good practice to drill clearance and pilot holes before
installing wood screws in narrow boards. Doing so makes it
easier to align and assemble the joint, creates a stronger joint,
and reduces the chance of splitting the wood.
