I have been thinking (This usually gets me into trouble! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif). Here in Houston the sun and heat in the summer time..well all of the time /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, is enough to make you not want to get any seat time. So I decided I needed a canopy.
My dilemma is two fold.
1) The cost of manufactured canopies are beyond my reach! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
2) I have to have one that can be removed really easily. I have a huge oak tree that I mow under, every week, and there is no way to get it done with a canopy.
So here is my first pass at a design. I kind of took the John Deere quick attach bucket idea and adapted it to a canopy.
take a look and give me some feedback. I will be making it from small square tubing and light gauge sheet metal to keep it light (I don't know how to weld on aluminum with a stick welder /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif)
Give me some feedback as this group has more great ideas than you can shake a stick at!
thanks,
