Inexpensive Umbrella Made From Woven Wire Fence
Skin cancer is an increasing occupational risk for anyone who spends a lot of time in the sun. An inexpensive umbrella, with better side protection all around than the commercial models, can be made by tying an appropriately-sized piece of woven wire fence to a ROPS frame with baling twine and then covering it with lightweight fabric. It took me only about 15 minutes last summer to make the canopy shown here. I'll probably remove it for the winter and set it up again next summer. (John E.
