Been thinking about building some sort of frame for a flat bed trailer that could be easily removed. The frame would be covered with tarps, cut to fit and with fasteners to attach the tarps to the frame. Looking for design ideas, i.e., 2 x 4's, PVC or what? I like the idea of using 2 x 4's, but they are heavy. PVC would be good, but is it strong enough to hold up to wind when towing? |

PVC is not strong enough unless you use 2" or larger which won't work. Also PVC won't hold up over time. UV light will eat it up.

QUOTE(URY914 @ Apr 2 2012, 01:29 PM)  Also PVC won't hold up over time. UV light will eat it up. If you paint it, it will hold up no problem. That is what they do with the PVC plumbing on pool equipment. Ours is 11 years in full AZ sun everyday and doing just fine. However, I would question PVC at highway speeds.
