In 1908, Nels Nelsen earned his journeyman carpenterÕs certificate in central Denmark. For four years he traveled throughout Denmark by bicycle and train, working and writing of his adventures and observations of life in Denmark. Then he embarked on an even bigger adventure, crossing the Atlantic to begin a new life in America. In America he encountered new customs and places, but continued traveling as he worked, describing his time in the Midwest, as well as a winter spent in Florida. This story, in his own words, covers those years in Denmark and his first years in America as he joined the Union, learned English, found a wife, and started a family, becoming an American citizen and never returning to his homeland. His insights and descriptions, as well as the additional material discussing the places he visited and the events he witnessed, paint a vivid picture of early 20th century life both in the U.S. and in Denmark and tell the story of the immigrant experience through the eyes of someone who lived it.

It’s much more rigid than you might think.
The brackets did not fit the range of diameters that it said it would. Is pretty doofus when you lay it down backwards. It is however, more rigid than you might think. It works for me. I like it. Of course I can change things. I like the exterior fabric and I like the vinyl undercoating. I suspect it’s going to be waterproof as well. Now that I know, I’m not going to lay it down. I’m going to order a second one for my wifes quad, which is even narrower than the minimum they call out. 39.4”.

Great customer service
Stong headwind caused front straps to pop off and broke/bent frame. They replaced frame tubes with no hassle! Very impressed!

As shown
Nice kit. Simple to assemble, simply packed, good weight for the metal and the shade cloth. Actual width between attachment points is 44 inches. Tubing goes together with those push button things like on aluminum table legs. Priced commensurate with quality.

Very ridged!
I put this on my can am outlander 850 and it was not a hard job to install it. Shade cloth is nice and so far holding up good to what I put it through. Tubing has the push buttons so putting it all together is pretty easy. I had to make some clips myself to get the install right but it was no big deal. 5 stars!!
