marcOO,
I've gone through a variety of wood frames and have used a PVC pipe one for the last few years. Sets up and breaks apart easily, materials are cheap and durable and the tarp slides on and off the frame without a hitch. Attached .jpegs are from 2 different versions and one of them is attached to just show the base plates I use for the verticals in the boat. The forward one is duct taped to the trailer and the aft one is set into a small hole that I dig. What isn't shown is a cob web type arrangement of small diameter rope that I set up on each side of the frame to help support the slopping side panels of the tarp.
