G'day chap, it was time to knock up an arch for my lass so she can train a bush to grow over the path by the pond so the truck's are out of her eye line but then i can also hide

and i bet she never thought of that one

Today was more of a thinking come practice day after making and painting her arch that of coarse like my trucks is made up of what ever i have to hand and will do the job to last a good few years again thanks to pallets and the like being dropped at my door free

Because i have lights on the top corner of the back body the only place i can fit terry clips electrical wires are tucked neatly behind the work light bracket out of the way so it is back to thinking but however my thought's turned to a very light weight chain just under the length of the canopy when fully extended with again light weight clips at each end {the kind you have on your key ring}.
The split rings you fit your keys to i have one on the rear of the truck back body that's fitted to the work light and center pole support the other end is fastened to the rear hoop where the center pole locates which means when the canopy is fully extended it can't go any further and i can tinker about fitting the light weight awning i have in mind without anything falling out.
Of course i will be fitting a rail that awnings run through to the back of the 88 the shape of the rear body like i have on other trucks so with using the idea above nothing falls out while i am erecting my canopy, this of course only applies to the 88 as the poles for the canopy are not that long and it might sound strange to some but on your own with a windy night i found it helped.
My ambulance has an awning made from other peoples throw out's along with frame work i have knocked up from what ever was available and has stood the yest of time and bad weather so i must be doing something right apart from explaining myself
