2 years ago i was out on coon lake in my portable ice house a frabill prowler Gt it was brand new and i had a SNOWMOBILE come crashing through it at about 50 mph. luckuly nobody got hurt. all my electronics and poles got replaced and i purchased a new ice house. HERES THE PROBLEM: my ice house was a flip over and had alumium U shaped poles to hold the canvas out. every one of those poles is broken. i want to get those poles replaced but i dont know anywhere to possibly look. frabill will not reply to any msgs i leave them. so if anyone knows a place around the metro i can go to get these new poles i would greatly appreciate it . thanks

the guy on the sled did not buy you a new house?

how did this even happen sounds like some beer may have been involved...

Talk to an electrician ask him to bend some conduit up for you or maybe do it yourself?

I was able to fabricate round ones using 1/2 inch conduit. I had to use two pieces for each of the U shaped pieces. Where they met I took a piece of 3/4 inch copper pipe and slid it over the joint and then used pop rivets to hold that in place. The pieces that connected the U to the house weren't broken so I just slid the conduit over them. I was able to salvage the little clip jobberdos that stopped the pieces from sliding too far apart and put them in place on the new stuff. That was a pain but I managed to do it. I used a light steel wool to clean up the pieces that I was salvaging and they all slid pretty well after that.

Mine was an Otter and a call to the factory in Maple Lake I was told they didn't have the round material any more.

Theres so many idiots on Coon Lake on a regular basis. Theres also a lot of really nice folks too.

Try looking on a guy named Craigs website or an auction site for the same house you have. If you can find one in rough shape that still has good poles your in business.

I am shocked you are having a problem hearing back from Frabill. I emailed them for some replacement parts last year and they responded very promptly. I recommend emailing them if you have not already done so. [email protected]

Best of luck.
