Simple EZGO Canopy

[Williy]

Just the top part I would paint pure white
help to reflect the sun and it stays cool

Looks great! This is the way I am most likely going to go.

I like it a lot!! I would love to do something similar. How much to you think you saved putting this together over a new canopy from a manufacturer?

The canopy and bars were $150 locally ($75ea), plus the hardware sourced at Ace. Took some time and stopping in at every place that even remotely were connected to golf carts though. Most places wanted $100-$150 just for the top.

The canopy my local Kioti dealer mentioned in another thread is from A&I and goes $405. I was thinking of one more for rain and snow. Good idea here.

When you say locally sourced was that a yard sale? salvage yard? All the ones I saw online were hundreds of $$$

Local shops that deal/work on golf carts. As said, I had to hit several before finding one willing to deal a little.

I love it. This is spot on exactly what I was looking to do for my Bobcat tractor. Thank you for posting this.

Question, I see the brackets aren't factory EZGO but are they factory style? As in if I am lucky enough to find a cart for parts, will the brackets on it likely be similar?

The factory bar is not 3 piece, as far as I could find, so a lot more modification would be needed if you wanted it to slip in/out like mine. You could just cut the factory one in 2 and simply clamp them on with the u-bolts and loosen them when you wanted to remove the top, but its hard for one person to manhandle the top, u-bolts, and ratchet at the same time.

Apologies. Just realized I didn't answer fully. This top cost me ~$180 w/hardware and flex tape. Kioti wanted $750 for theirs at the time. Rural King had a thin plastic one for $200 at the time, but was backordered for months. So I saved ~$20 to $600 depending.

Not bad at all. For my Bobcat dealer wants I think it was $500. I prefer this setup simply because of the ease of install and removal. I have woods in the back half and definitely can't have the roof on going through there.
