Quinte Fishing

I just picked up a 4x8 hut pretty cheap and am looking to "renovate" it to my liking. I am looking for suggestions/ideas for runners and tow bars? it has two two by six wood runners now but I am thinking about getting downhill skis Or hyfax sliders to put on the bottom
Of them so it slides easier and or any other suggestions you may have. It's my first non portable hut and will also need a tow bar/rope or ideas to tow it behind a sled or atv to get it out. thanks

I have big eye hooks bolted to front and back of my 4x8 and 8x8's. I use a rope and hook it to them. That way you can put a little slack in the rope and get some momentum. I don't like tow bars because you can't get momentum. But a tow bar is nice so the hut doesn't chase you when you stop. A simple abs pipe over the tow rope gives you the slack you need and the stiffness so the hut can't come crashing into you. As for runners I have 2x10 and 2x12's. The key to using wood is you have to laminate them with 1/4" plywood on each side. If you don't do this, your skis will be half the height come the end of the season if you move your hut alot. 1/4" ply keeps them from cracking and coming apart. Before I bolt them onto the hut I take Teflon and cut it on the table saw in strips the width of the skis and screw it in. I can move my huts by hand they slide that easy!
