F
ish Trap FAQ’s
Q: Should I install a runner kit/hyfax to the base of my shelter?
A: The warranty on our shelters does not cover cracked or worn bases if a runner kit has not been
installed. Additionally, bases will wear much quicker without a runner kit installed.
Q: The zipper on my shelter freezes up and/or sticks. Is there anything I can use to help prevent
this from happening?
A: There are lubricants available that can work well, including various silicone sprays, ChapStick and
other zipper lubricant sticks and brushes.
Q: The sliding seat poles, frame poles, or spreader poles of my shelter are sticking. Is there
anything to put on these poles to help them slide better?
A: Silicone spray lubricants can help prevent poles from sticking. When poles slide against each other
sometimes burrs are created. If this happens separate the affected poles and use a fine file or
sandpaper to deburr the pole(s) and then apply a thin coat of lubricant before rejoining the poles.
Q: Do you have a replacement tent, base, poles, quick connects or other parts for my Fish Trap?
A: Retailers typically don’t carry replacement parts, but we have replacement parts available for
purchase direct at
. We are limited on parts for older model shelters.
Q: The poles to my Fish Trap have bent out of place. Should I try to bend them back?
A: It might be possible to bend the poles back into their proper place. If your bent pole is not creased lay
it on a flat surface and bend it back into shape. Replacement poles can be ordered online from our
website if needed.
Q: Should I put screws through the U-channel molding and tent of my shelter?
A: Putting screws through the U-channel will help to securely fasten the tent of your shelter to the base.
This is a necessary step for proper installation and failure to do so will void the warranty.
Q: I am trying to attach the U-channel molding to my shelter, but am having difficulty getting it
started, as it seems too stiff and will not stay attached to the edge of the sled. What can be done
to help?
A: It is difficult to attach the U-channel in cold conditions. Assembly of the shelter should be done
indoors with the U-
channel warmed in a bucket of hot water for several minutes so it’s more pliable.
Q: I can see pinholes of light through the fabric of my tent. Is my shelter waterproof and will my
fish house leak?
A: Pinholes may be seen along seams or where the tent fabric is bonded to the thermal material on an
insulated shelter. In either case, this has no effect on the function of the fabric or performance of the
unit. While the fabric of the tent is water resistant it is not waterproof, so some water from rain or melting
snow may come through your tent. A waterproofing spray such as Kiwi Camp Dry can be applied to the
tent fabric to make the shelter more water repellent.
