Many years ago I made a temporary trailer cover from one of those cheap
blue plastic woven sheets, some plastic "bang together" green eyelets and
a length of bungee cord. Oh, and Gaffer Tape reinforced corners.
The bungee cord snapped the other day and the cover was more or less
destroyed by being dragged along the road until we noticed this (nobody
flashed us up to warn us - did they assume this was some kind of prototype
road cleaning device?).
I need a new trailer cover. I could produce a similar version if I can
find all the bits in the mountain of crap but I am looking at alternatives
which might also make the trailer more secure.
The first thought is a piece of marine ply with wooden bits (batten?) to
fit inside the trailer and possibly a hinge/padlock arrangement.
Anyone done this kind of thing or made/bought another type of cover?
Trailer is approximately 1250 mm long by 1050 mm wide external
measurements.
I do have a lot of spare bits of wood, just not marine ply. One
alternative would be painted WBP, which seems to last well as outside
fencing on building sites.
Cheers
