Is there a particular brand I want? I've found several with a similar price range.

I would say - find a golf cart dealer and make your own - unless you like spending real bucks.

This one cost me $40 for the top and rest was less than $20

Best be sure to measure garage door height, twice maybe three times !!!
Especially when the top goes on TOP of the ROPS....
I ended up making my own so I could clear the 'open door dimension'.

I like the Artillian/Curtis one that detaches quickly but it's big bucks.

I suspect you are a bit handier than me, but I like your style! I cannot tell from the pic, but how is the roof attached to the frame?

Now that was the old , measure 14 times and cut once! Basically 4 U shaped bolts and box shaped frame that was secured to the ROPS - just clamped.

Honest to Goodness, I didn't even think they actually made canopies for our tractors, I thought EVERYONE use golf cart tops, this is the first I'm hearing of actual purpose-built canopies. :geek::geek:

I just remembered that one of my tenants/clients a golf cart shop with quite a bone yard. I'll grab one from him and play around with it. Our sun is rarely straight overhead when I will be working. When it's hot, it'll be early or late. Need something though.

I second using a golf cart top. I bought mine from a local Yamaha golf cart dealer for $20.

I went with the heavy fiberglass one from my dealer. It’s been great so far, but I do load it on the trailer backwards. Juuuuusssssttt in case.
It doesn’t even wiggle.

Downside was the cost.
