Then use rope from the trailer over the top and down to the trailer for my "rafters". Then I will put a big tarp over the whole thing and tie that down to the trailer. This reduces my "wood" expense. The rope "rafters" will follow the same path as the tarp so it should lay right down on it. I think the rope pulled tight will tie it all together. I should be able to do it pretty cheap.

I like to use our dock lines for the rafters. Wet them and tie fairly tight, they'll shrink when dry and really work well, plus it'll keep track of your lines for next spring.
