I own TR Aluminum Designs and we manufacture aluminum skid houses out of Lumsden, SK. It is no doubt an investment to purchase an aluminum shack as opposed to building one of your own out of wood, an old camper, etc. That said, there are so many benefits to purchasing one of these.
We make aluminum shacks on drop down axles so they can be easily used for ice fishing in the winter or hunting in the summer. They can also be made light enough to be pulled behind an ATV.
