Shelter from the sun

We've finally had a break from the last 2+ weeks of sweltering 100 degree weather here in NWAR. About two weeks ago we brought in our second cutting of hay at the start of the inferno. Luckily I took the time to finish my tractor canopy right as the heat was coming. A neighbor fab'ed the frame for me in exchange for some brush-hogging. I got it on in time for 106 degree raking and haying.. It was a lifesaver! The frame is painted John Deere green and the top is a canvas tarp I got at the local farm supply. Stretched and screwed into the frame, it's held up to tree limbs quite well so far.
