Hi,my husband and I have 2 older mobility scooters,and we ride them every afternoon with our rat terrier dog Pepper.It's getting warmer,almost 100 degrees today down here on the ca/az/mexico border.We ride 5 miles or so a evening on the Colorado river desert..I know I can make us some shade.I have the netting/sun shade/and all kinds of pipes,and the elbows to fit.Just need an idea of how to make it and mount it to the side arms in the back of the seats.As we have baskets on the back and the front.He's 84 yrs old (my hubby).I'm disabled,but between us and the tools he has we can get er done.Oh,and today for the 1st time this yr,I ran up on a 3 to 4 ft baseball sized rattlesnake.I was following my dog and she was past it and I was following her when all at once I heard the 'loud' rattling and looked up and 2 ft in front of me to my horror was the monster upright 1 ft off the ground with his head in the air hunched back and hissing at me.Looked like a king cobra I swear! I imeadiatly stopped,and my buggy would not go into reverse.(I thought (a-oh,not good)I had to put my feet on the ground and back peddle.(push it back)As it slithered off by the time my hubby got to me.Was so stunned,I didn't know they were even out yet.In the summer,we see them all the time,and ride on by them.They don't bother me,and I don't bother them.I was just shocked they were out already.But now we know so will be more vigilant and not let the dog run in that area till we get out more into the open.Then I'll let her off the cart.She minds really well thank god.Cause when she came back to me today (when I screamed),she seen the snake and I called her to me and she made a wide circle around the snake and got on my cart.She knows what they are,and knows to leave them alone.Anyway,that was my excitement for the day.Biggest one I ever saw down here.So,getting back to the shade.Any ideas?I saw some on ebay,but they look cheap,not a lot of full coverage,and were $65.00 plus shipping each.We need the back covered,sides hanging down some,and full front.I was thinking of maybe putting a couple of poles in the front (for support) on the bed of the scooter,yet it can't obstuct our steering.I know a lot of people have these,that could probably use one too.So,am sure they could benefit too.Thanks
