Finally put on the canopy!

[LS Tractor Owner]

A few months ago, I picked up a used golf cart canopy, a couple pairs of mounting brackets, and a neat basket type thingy for $40. Only other things needed were some 2x3 square clamps. The whole project took me longer to pick up the stuff than it did to get it mounted. Worked out better than I thought it was going to. There are even a few bolt holes in perfect locations to mount some cube lights (next project in a few weeks). I am hoping to get it painted to match this week, I will post some more pics then.

Very nice. Looks like it came from the factory.

I would be very happy with a "kit" like that.

It was a nice day today, so I took the canopy off and painted it to match. Turned out better than I thought it would.

I am already planning to add some slightly larger tube onto the ROPS, then the canopy tubes will just slide down into them, making it an easy on / easy off by just lifting.

Here are a few pics of the painted canopy back on the tractor.

Looks good!

I like how you painted the top to match the tractor. Looks sharp!

Now if your going to make it so it's easy to remove then I would make the brackets so that the top is level with the tractor. To me it looks like the front is lower than the back and I think it would look sharper with the top even. Just my .02 cents

Well done.

Thanks for the idea on using the larger tubes for easy on/off.

Stay safe,

Well done.

Stay safe,

The larger square tube idea worked out great! Top goes on really easy and fast! I will have to take some pictures of it with the easy on / off setup. It actually looks cleaner. I will try to take them tomorrow.
