I designed mine to fit in the back of a pickup truck. I set it on a couple pieces of 4x4 so it doesn't freeze into the ice. It's locked to keep the honest people out, not much in it to steal but I really don't want someone using it as an outhouse when I'm not there. Best size? How many people will be fishing in it? Do you want to overnight in it? We camp all weekend in ours - it's got a wood stove, a fold down kitchen table and a fold down double bed. Ice thickness? Depends on your tow vehicle. we don't haul it out until there's enough for a truck to drive on. We don't move it once it's on the lake but use it as a base camp and sometimes fish in other spots with our pop up tent.
I sell detailed construction plans/material cut list for this style shack. You can search for ice shack plans on ebay for more info or to buy some.
