Product Information
Full details
The Nash Bank Life Blockhouse is designed for dedicated carp anglers who undertake fishing sessions of 48 hours or longer and prioritize maximum internal space and comfort. It offers a unique, high-ceiling rectangular design that allows even tall anglers to stand upright, making it a significant upgrade over traditional, low-profile bivvies. While it provides an unmatched living environment, its large footprint and setup requirements make it better suited for swims with sufficient space rather than tight, overgrown banks.

FAQs
Can I fit two anglers inside?
Yes, the floor space is large enough to accommodate two standard sleep systems comfortably.
Is the groundsheet removable?
No, the groundsheet is designed as a continuous seal to ensure the interior remains critter-free.
How heavy is the shelter?
While it is a substantial shelter, it includes a heavy-duty carry bag designed to make transport to your swim as manageable as possible.
Does it include a door?
Yes, it features a full-size twin-zip door that can be opened in multiple configurations.
What happens if I lose a peg?
The shelter comes with 15 Nash T-pegs, which provides enough for a secure setup, but spares can be purchased separately at most tackle retailers.
Can I stand up inside?
Yes, with a 205cm apex height, most adults can stand fully upright inside the structure.
Troubleshooting
Frame joints feel stiff or difficult to lock
Check for debris or grit inside the joint mechanism and apply a light silicone spray to ensure smooth movement.
Condensation forming inside the shelter
Ensure the internal vapour shield is properly attached and increase airflow by opening the side ventilation panels.
Difficulty pegging out on hard ground
Use a rubber mallet to drive the T-pegs into the ground; if the ground is too hard, adjust the pegging points slightly to find softer soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Blockhouse, clear a level space and lay out the groundsheet. Deploy the Speed Up joints by extending the frame segments until they lock into position; the structure will begin to take shape automatically. Secure the frame using the provided 15 Nash T-pegs, ensuring the tension is balanced across all anchor points.
Regarding compatibility, the interior dimensions comfortably fit a Wide or Emperor sleep system. For care, always ensure the shelter is completely dry before packing it away in the heavy-duty carry bag to prevent mold or mildew growth on the fabric. If the material becomes soiled, clean it with a damp cloth and mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid using heavy cleaning chemicals that could degrade the waterproof coating.
