Trailer Tarp Cross Braces
Dear Editor,
I thought you might be interested in this method I have of keeping water from leaking through the canvas on my 1/4-ton trailers. I built cross braces (see Fig.), which run the water off the canvas before it can soak through, using nothing more than two pieces of wood. Pieces of L-shaped metal can be put on the ends to strengthen them.
