Roll over sheets

Currently using a stupid old trailer cover that you have to climb up and into the trailer to roll it up and I’m sick of it now after 2 trips a week getting feed especially if it’s windy :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yes, just make some arches out of 25mm box, fix sheet on 1 side and a pipe on other side to roll it up with, or even cheaper still, fix at front of trailer and pipe at back end to roll up with no arches, but there are a few companies doing make to fit easy sheets for not a lot of money if you want a decent 1

Make your cover with arches , allows you to heap your grain on the trailer , no arches and your pulling grain on to the floor , use flat bar for the arch welded on to angle iron at the ends , the angle ends sit on top of the trail box and either weld or bolt on , fill the arch in with flat sheet , the cover its self measure over the arch to get your size , ask them to sew what they call an envelope at the 2 edges and one in the middle running the length of the trailer for the size of pipe you intend to use , the pipe fits in these envelopes . got my covers from www.tonybeal.com good strong lorry grade covers . you should be able to make one up for the 400 mark
