The invention provides a method of assembling a roof of a cargo body. A plurality of sidewalls are provided, each comprising a side panel and an upper rail coupled to the side panel. A roof panel is located above the plurality of sidewalls adjacent the upper rails. A roof bow extends between the upper rails below the roof panel. The roof bow is fixed to a track of one of the upper rails with a fastener.

Cargo body and method of assembling the same

An apparatus and method are provided for assembling a roof or floor of a cargo body, and for securing doors and other portions of a cargo body in place. In some cases, a plurality of sidewalls are provided, each comprising a side panel and an upper rail and/or lower rail coupled to the side panel. A roof panel can be located above the plurality of sidewalls adjacent the upper rails, with a roof bow extending between the upper rails below the roof panel and fixed to a track of one of the upper rails with a fastener. A floor cross member can be located between the lower rails, and can be secured to the lower rails via a track and fastener.

A shielding apparatus secured to landscaping material is disclosed for shielding a plant from weed growth. The apparatus includes an elongate plate having a first and a second edge, the plate defining an opening which is disposed between the edges of the plate for the growth therethrough of the plant. A first rail removably cooperates with the first edge of the plate such that the landscaping material is locked between the first rail and the first edge of the plate. Also, a second rail removably cooperates with the second edge of the plate such that the landscaping material is locked between the second rail and the second edge of the plate.

Shielding apparatus secured to landscaping material for shielding a plant from weed growth

In a wheel barrow having a load carrying container disposed between a rotatable wheel and a handle, an adapter apparatus is disclosed for assisting transportation of the wheelbarrow. The adapter apparatus includes a frame having a first and a second end and an axle having a first and a second side. The axle extends through the frame and the rotatable wheel such that the rotatable wheel rotates about the axle. Additionally, the axle pivotally supports the wheel barrow such that pivotal movement of the wheel barrow about the axle and relative to the frame is permitted. A rotatable device is secured to the frame so that the container is disposed between the axle and the rotatable device. The arrangement is such that in a first mode of operation of the apparatus, the wheel barrow is supported by the frame and is transported on the rotatable wheel and the rotatable device for transportation of the load disposed within the container. In a second mode of operation of the apparatus, the handle of the wheel barrow is lifted relative to the frame such that the wheel barrow is pivoted about the axle for unloading the load from the container.
