ATV Cab Stays Warm All Winter

ATV Cab Stays Warm All Winter ATV'S ATV'S 28-6-16 Paul Rivers stays warm and dry all winter on his ATV thanks to a lightweight, high visibility all-weather cab he built for his ATV. It has a tubular steel frame that's lined with a clear, corrugated PVC sheeting. The cab completely encloses the driver, right down to his feet. "The sheeting is far more practical than the canvas sided cabs that commercial units have because those tend to flap and rip," he says. "Mine is like riding in a little glass house and it's nice and warm inside. The corrugated sheeting is actually quite easy to see through as it is a high quality clear sheet." Rivers made the roof with sheet steel, but says the clear plastic would also have worked fine. The lightweight, removable cab is secured to the ATV's frame with four bolts (one on each corner) and can be installed in about four minutes by one person, but it's easier with two people. "I leave it on permanently, but sometimes take the doors off in summer," he says. "The removable, suicide doors open back so you can travel with them open if you wish, and I put a big spot light on the roof top for riding at night." Rivers says the cab cost him about $500 to put together.
