Insulating a uninsulated ice shack?

Bought a frabill hq200 for 80 bucks wondering the odds of insulating it. Is this a good shack? Its like new. Thx in advance!

Better off / easier just to buy one. Many will be priced to move soon…

Thx baitwaster but unless i see a price to good to pass up i will probly stick with what i got. I just got into icefishing and starting at the bottom and slowly gonna work my way up

I wouldn’t worry about it and use it like it is since you are new to ice fishing. It’s not a bad shack, I have a Frabill Fortress XL and it’s a decent shack, no issues with it. I would use it and this will give you a better idea what type of shack you would want in the future if you get into ice fishing more.

Uninsulated worked for everyone for 30 years. Insulated IS better, but not like you’re gonna be miserable without it. Most of us spent plenty of nights in below zero weather with wind and were very happy in our uninsulated houses.
Other option is to check with Frabill on a new thermal cover. Maybe there’s a sale on your model.

One thing you can do is cut a square of reflectix insulation to fit between the poles and roof. That stuff insulates super well and when I had an old uninsulated flip over it worked great to keep heat in.

Was contemplating reflectix waldo9190 may do that appreciate everybodys insight. Only thing i wasnt sure how well it would fold up
