My $40 canopy

[Luke'sScreenName]

It's hot. I'm a Texan in New Hampshire and hate the heat. Until I can find a good reason to move to the Antarctic I decided I want a canopy.

So I went to the local golf cart place. They sold me a used roof (covered in pine pitch) for $40.

I welded a frame from scrap I had. Eventually, I'll make a full cage and connect it too this. Everything is 1/4 mild steel.

Comes on and off with 4 bolts and it still fits in the garage door.

Good job. I did the same thing for $50. Being out in the sun during an Alabama summer puts a canopy at the top of the project list.

Thanks! I'll never know how anyone survives in Lower Alabama.

Nice Job! Looks like it came with the tractor. Sure beats my angle iron and plywood top.

Very nice modification, Mate. Is a rear-view mirror next?

Also, there's no need to move all the way to the antarctic... just move down here to the South of Tasmania. The next stop south of us IS Antarctica. :laughing:
