- 1). Construct the frame of your ice fishing house walls from four sections of two-by-four boards connected by three-inch galvanized nails. Build them in four-foot-wide and six-foot-tall frame sections. In one section, leave a two-foot-wide and six-foot-tall door section framed in two-by-four boards.
- 2). Build a two-by-four board frame structure that is four feet square, attaching each two-by-four together with galvanized nails. Lay a sheet of half-inch plywood on top of this frame and nail it to the frame with three-inch nails.
- 3). Mount the four-foot by six-foot frame sections to the top of the floor frame and secure them using three-inch galvanized nails. Drill galvanized wood screws to connect the edges of the frames.
- 4). Cut four-foot by six-foot sections of half-inch plywood with a table saw and attach them to the outside of the wall frames with two-inch wood screws and a power driver.
- 5). Build a five-foot square frame from two-by-four boards for the roof section. Drill two-inch wood screws to attach this to the top of the wall frames using metal angle braces. Cut a five-foot square sheet of half-inch plywood and attach it to the top of the roof with two-inch wood screws and a power drill.
- 6). Attach six-inch strips of fiber board to the underside of the roof overhang with two-inch wood screws. These will act as eaves for the house.
- 7). Cut two two-foot-wide and five-foot-high sheets of quarter-inch plywood with a table saw. Then, cut two five-foot lengths of two-by-two boards and two two-foot lengths. Apply wood glue to the edges and attach them to the quarter-inch plywood sheets, creating a door for the house.
