I wanted a good weather cover for my Jumping Jack ...

I wanted a good weather cover for my Jumping Jack Trailer here in Phoenix where the sun and the storms can be so bad. I only wanted it five feet tall on the sides to keep the cover low. Makerpipe made this easy for building plus I could adjust the angle of the roof to the angle I wanted easily. I put cables over each end prior to putting the tarp on and anchored it with turnbuckles. I put concrete blocks with a centered divot drilled under each leg to keep it from sinking after a big storm. Then the tarp (Custom heavy duty vinyl from Tarpnation) was placed over the frame and anchored separately so that if a storm took the tarp, it wouldn’t carry off my frame. Leather under the corners will help to keep the tarp from wearing. I also put one leg in pvc pipe to keep it from walking. I also made my 2ft extension more stable by placing a wooden dowel inside. Sorry the photos didn’t upload in order. Thank you Makerpipe and thank you Tarpnation. Carol
