I recently posted this on another thread but I’ll post again just bc I think it’s a great way to enclose a dump bed with very minimal material and can be taken on and off easily.
Use steel hoop material, like 1” wide 1/8” thick, bend and secure to either side of bed, ideally with bolts so they can be taken on and off.
Affix waxed canvas and stretch across. How you affix the front and end can be done many different ways. Time to get creative
My build is on a f250 so I kept it small. The hoops cost me $2 at the local scrapyard. The tarp was $50ish at tractor supply.
