Tying on a canopy

Post by Corax » Mon Jun 16, 2014 10:45 pm

Hi all,

As the title says I would like your suggestions as to the best way to hold a canopy onto a brumby, preferably in a way so that it can be easily removed if needed. All ideas and help gratefully received.

Thanks,
Dave.

Mine was mounted in a way indicating no one really cared that the stainless steel mouldings were drilled through, partly up the back of the pillar. Forgotten how the back section was secured. I fitted can'o'pee to my other ute with fence wire, tensioned up and crimped, using the internal tie points - noice and secure !

latch clamps?

or as called on Ebay clamp latches

I would say the one in each corner on the inside (4 all up) would hold it in place rather well.

I like the latch clamps too. Those S/S set of 4 look good, just depends on the size of them
