[QUOTE="condor22, post: 419720, member: 1932"] Got fed up of trying to keep the rain of the gen set, so I made this up out of poly pipe and a few different fittings. The Ends are glued together, the pipe is a push fit to assemble/disassemble. The canvas is held on by 3 occy straps and holds the whole thing together. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1529822484_cover.jpg[/img] 2 galv saddle clamps and tent pegs for a hinge [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1529822515_hinge.jpg[/img] Another tent peg the opposite end with some string to hold it down if it's windy [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1529822515_in_case_of_wind.jpg[/img] Lift the end opposite the hinge to access refuel and start etc. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1529822547_open_to_start.jpg[/img] I also noticed that in some areas, mud and slopes, that water can rush through in heavy rain, so feet are made of 75mm end caps and a bit of pipe to keep the genny off the ground. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1529822562_feet.jpg[/img] I normally place under the annex (opposite end from van door) with the power outlet pointing to the van and the cover right up to the van wall and it opens easy. (Genny is padlocked with heavy chain to the van wheel) It's been through some bloody heavy rain and winds and passed with flying colours :) [/QUOTE]
