Frabill Hideout any info on set up??

I was visiting a friend and his neighbor was cleaning out his garage and asked if wed be interested in a portable ice shelter he rarely used it, its a Frabill hideout shelter. I think it would be considered a popup model it has a sled where you would put a seat or pail to sit on. It didn’t come with setup instructions, but for 25.00 I bought it, anyone own one or used one in the past? I just need to know how to set it up?

I’m gonna say YouTube will be your friend on this one

I tried You Tube but no luck, also tried the internet. The Hideout is in greay condition so I’m hoping someone here is still using one or had used one and can be of help with setting it up for ice fishing when I get to the lake.

Then in the 2nd 1/2

Is this what you are looking for?

Pretty easy to setup.Unzip the front door,and push up the cover.Should have a frame that is hinged.Just get inside and unfold it,and there should be a crossbar in the back.That’s the Frabill version of the original Snoboat(3-man).There is a u shaped bar that is pushed out and that is the ice area.Great for sight fishing.

25.00 and great shape,you pretty much stole it.

Tank’s milemark_714 that’s just the answer I was looking for!! And yes when he said 25 bucks I didn’t hesitate!!
