Tractor Canopy made of wood

simple White Oak 2 x 4 and plywood make a good vibration free canopy

Just hope that you don't turn it over and get a splinter somewhere you don't want it.

Uh oh... Are those bolts I see going through the ROPS available because you drilled through the ROPS? If so, watch out as the ROPS police will be all over you (as it's a bad idea to drill into the ROPS).

I hope it works out over time (and rough ground) /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
I <font color="red"> wood </font> think a Hard Hat should also be considered. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks for the refreshing coments. I need to say the holes were predrilled by the manufacturer. White oak is not prone to splinter especially coated with paint. If it were to roll like any other canopy it will fold.
The best part is it was scrap it cost me nothing.

Think it's a good solution for a canopy. Probably stronger than a lot of the comercial ones. Probably cheaper too.

But do watch out for the canopy police checking on approval stickers.
