    When I first started out I was using this 6 x 4 trailer. After the hassles of keeping my gear secured I decided I was going to build a canopy . Within the next week I was travelling between my clients and passed this canopy top which was for sale for $60.00 on the side of the road. A coat of paint all around , out with some yellow paint over some stencils and 5 years later its still all in place.
    Its certainly makes sense to have something which is secure and lockable.

    Very professional.

    Great logo, i like the way you integrate it in both your website and signage.

    "Finishing off" is a powerful marketing stratey that only a handful of contractors do.

    I'm guessing you have your shirts and hats done wih your logo to ?

    Great job!!

    have got the files but have not done the shirts and hats yet, took the ministr for war & finance (wife) into the local embroidery shop and she didnt like the cut of their jib (which is all well and good I guess) but need to find another who can do the work now or sneak back in without her

    Lol. Mowjo installed to lawns and gardens only. If mowjowoman plays her cards right I may treat her from time to time

    When I got the trailer it was just a standard 8x5 box, the big back ramps were on it already but the cage, push mower facilities and everything myself and me pa built in a coupla weekends. Just used 1" box section (light gauge so as not to exceed the 750kg) and some Gal mesh. From memory total cost was around 4 -> 500 bucks and about $80 worth of Carlton Draught.
