Soft Sided Canopy Home Build 2022-Feb<\/h1>\n

So built a lift off canopy for camping that works great for a base camp setup but I would not be 4 wheeling with it on due to it’s weight and center mass is high.<\/p>\n

So decided to make a frame with aluminum roof to allow a solar panel and awning, and canvas sides for a minimal light weight camping.<\/p>\n

Simple square with bracing as below each corner has gussets and using 20mm x 20mm steel tube with angel on 4 sides on the bottom which can then lock into the tray for my ute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So the steel for the frame with cutting came in at $125.00<\/p>\n

Started making the 3 verticals welded to the top runner and put them out<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Frame made and gussets added for bracing<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Now to add a roof and front<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Now add a 270 degree awning, ensuit awning and a table<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Made new brackets for the 270 awning so it sits over the canopy now (was sticking out past my mirrors before.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

5 x 1 meter Hard Korr dual colour led light strips on the bottom of the surround with a controller per side and a central switch lights up the canopy inside and out nicely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

160W solar pannel feeds in for the battery box to keep it topped up.<\/p>\n

Installed 2 power boxes, one at the front (circuit breakers, cig socket, USB sockets, dual Andreson plugs, power in lead) and one at the back (cig socket, switch for lights, Andreson plug).<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Stove on a fold down board at the back.<\/p>\n

(**photo of stove on fold down*)<\/p>\n

Added to the Ute a 80 liter under tray water tank.<\/p>\n

So we are almost ready to go now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Have a good day<\/p>\n
