I’m building a hoop style canvas cover for the back. It will have vinyl windows on all sides and the rear and sides can be rolled up when it’s nice out. I had the local welding shop build the hoops and the mounts on the sides of the bed. There is about 5’ 1” of headroom and that feels about right to me. Trying to keep it low and light. The material I’ve picked out of from Seattle fabrics and is a vinyl coated 18oz tent like material and seems pretty tough and uv resistant. Color is undecided but I am leaning toward a simple grey utilitarian look. Red is a possibility, maybe tan, I think black is too dark. most likely grey. Went from using two hoops to four with some urging from a wise forum member. It feels real solid now.
I just took the cat back today to have the board racks out on. Pictures of that next.
The hoop pictures are before I shortened it 5". It was 5'6" and now is 5' 1"
