Homemade Tractor Sunshade

[bsekf]

I would like a sun shade for my utility tractor. But have a problem with the price of custom built. Anybody got any suggestions? Fabric will not work.

I made this with a 4x5 sheet of aluminum over 2x2 steel supports welded to the roll bar. Been a few yrs. Works great. FYI could not afford any more height and still enter the barn 8ft door.

We talking Sunshade or Roll-Over Protection or Combo? Very much NOT the same thing.

If it has ROP, then I would think about doing -- adding some cheap-fast-quick with either 2x4s and plywood (yeah, I know -- Red-Green and all) and/or Unistrut (my favorite thing), with muffler-pipe clamps, and maybe some plywood. See what you like, and then you can (very easy and cheap) change things around until you are happy with it.
