Jim, I'm really not concerned with road debris. The canopy cover is incredibly strong. Nothing short of a bullet fired from a gun can penetrate it. It secures solidly to the trailer frame with 1/2" steel bars running along the frame perimeter and inserted in a pocket in the cover-seam. I have added a frame tube across the front, half way between the top and bottom of the canopy (probably not needed, but it makes me feel better. I've pulled it at over 70 MPH down the interstate and the material only bows in a few inches (no where near the car). The frame is structural overkill (doesn't flex at all). The trailer in my pics has 24" diamond treadplate runners running the length of the trailer. I decked the 32" center opening with 1/2" plywood so I could work on my car from underneath. For the production units, I plan to deck out the entire trailer with diamond tread plate. The removable wood deck serves a purpose, but it takes way too long to install it with hinges, weather seal, drilled and tapped fasteners etc. Besides, with the solid decking, it should be useable as a motorcycle trailer as well (possibly two Harleys and gear).
