So here is my version of the DIY golf cart canopy. I fabricated all the brackets myself and if you look close you can see the toolbox i mounted behind the seat on the ROPS. Still don't know if I should take the top off and paint the underside or just leave it. Future plans are lighting and a downdraft fan. Your comments and opinions are welcome.

Looks very nice. I'd leave the bottom without paint but that is me. Lights you mention would be a nice touch. Good work !

Now I'm thinking a light bar front and rear and mabye some pods aimed to the sides? Also, I have a fan already I can use for a down draft.

Looks sort of "factory"!

Must be nice to live where there are no snow loads to contend with. ;-)

What is this "snow load" you speak of?

Local humor!

The sun shade looks very nice, and I'm sure works fine even in these days of solar flares.

Haha...Thanks for the kind words. We get a little snow here every few years but not enough to constitute a "load" , well not since '93 anyway. We gonna see if the shed is Irma proof here in a day or so.

Oh, I would not like to see that lift away! Good luck to you.

Here, I have trees 100 feet overhead to break the wind. Still, when the blows come, I worry that the car park will be pulled right out of the ground. Some years back, we had a "straight line event" that took a half dozen 90 year old trees and pushed them down like dominoes. one on the other.

I like your sun shade, but I would have that ripped off in a day or two trying to negotiate the tight trees. ;-) Open station with rops folded is the way I ride.

My daddy tried to do just that the very first day. Its cracked on the front edge now but not too bad. I sprayed a little more paint on the skint place so it aint noticeable.
