Did mine, its not as simple as you would think to make a center roll up so it goes clean to clean on a tapered trailer.

Usually at 4 times the price you can get it made for.

Mine was less than a £1000, dealer dropped new trailer in his yard and I collected.
Harsh good but not cheap.
We're looking at an end to end rollup sheet that winds onto a roller on the back door, so as not to block visibility or be fowled by wheels - and also allow the sheet to stay on while tipping at the grader if necessary. As wide as the door frames to account for a raised load, and long enough to go lower down the headboard than the bottom of the grille in the front (where all the water from the tractor wheels pours in!)
This will negate water ingress from the wheels, and do away with the arches, which restrict visibility far too much for my liking.
I'd be keen to find a local sheetbuilder keen for such a project.

Whats going to hold it up when there is no load in it?
The roller it's wound onto - no need to sheet an empty trailer

?? on a half load unwound are you having some bunge straps all along the sides to keep it taught?... would need something when its windy anyway.
Similar to these used on tippers

Probably. Ratchet strap tension will be ok for short term, but side bungy probably also necessary
Similar, yes. Difficulty is it needs to roll up on the hydraulic back door, not the headboard.
Idea similar to that used on a potato box trailer
Yes that makes sense but it will take some head scratching unless you mount the sheet roller as low as possible on the front of the trailer ( below the front window)
