Bantam T3C Home-made cover

[Militarymetal]

I didn’t want to pay the high prices I’ve seen for trailer covers. I found a nice Chicago Canvas and Supply duck cloth, waterproof tarp (5x7) for $45. I made some bows to span the trailer with 2x4s. The tarp fits perfectly and nice and tight. The tarp can be found on Amazon. I got the gold color to match the wheels.

The wings onnthe tailgate opening should attach to the frame to keep the sides from spreading. It looks short in these pictures..?

They were thrashed so I cut the bottom off. I strengthened the sides with angle iron. Plenty of strength for sides. It was just easier than trying to rebuild those lower wings.
