Today, ATVs are very popular in the modern world. This is a small vehicle that looks a bit like a motorcycle, but the ATV has more than 2 wheels. Trunk - the luggage compartment of an ATV, it is designed to carry the necessary things. Panniers can be front and rear, rear panniers are more popular. Such wardrobe trunks cost a lot separately, so now I will tell you how to make such a wardrobe trunk with your own hands, while saving a lot of money.
In order to create a homemade trunk you will need:
- Foamed plastic or hard foam, there is not much difference here, you can choose any one, the thickness of which will be at least 10 mm, 6 mm can be on the bottom
- Glue for plastic
- Self-tapping screws
- Metal ruler (approximately 1-1.5 meters)
- Bulgarian
- Tools for fastening and fixing
- Screwdriver
If you do not have special tools for cutting plastic, you can take a regular clerical knife or blade. ATTENTION! if you cut plastic with a blade, wear a glove on your working hand, there are many cases when people cause mini-injuries to themselves by cutting themselves on the edge of the plastic.
To make your own ATV case, follow these steps:
1. The first step is to cut out the bottom for your future case. To do this, you need to measure the area where you want the trunk to be located, then all measurements must be transferred to foam or plastic and cut the bottom according to measurements using a grinder. All precautions should be observed, first of all, protect eyes, hands, clothes during work.
2. Once we have finished making the bottom, we need to make the side walls of the trunk. To do this, we measure again and, having received the necessary parameters, we transfer them to polystyrene or plastic and cut out the necessary pieces from polystyrene or plastic. Next, we fix them well to the bottom with screws and glue.
3. After gluing the side walls, it's starting to look like a trunk, the next step is to file all the edges so that we get smooth and even corners of the case.
4. Next, after processing the corners, we proceed to the lid of our trunk. In order to make the trunk lid, we again go to foam or plastic, measure the almost completed wardrobe trunk and transfer the resulting dimensions of the lid, cut it out with a grinder, observing all precautions. After we have received the desired piece of foam or plastic, we attach it to the already made wardrobe trunk with the help of hinges that are used in door structures, you can also use other materials for fastening at this stage, because the hinges can take up an amount of space in your case.
5. Now you have attached the case cover, at this stage you have already got a full-fledged case, but for the beauty and attractiveness of the trunk, as well as to match the color of your ATV, you should give the trunk a beautiful look. There are many options here on how to do this. You can paint it in the color of your ATV, you can paste over it with a film and there are many such options, but the choice is yours!
In addition to using hinges to secure the lid, other fastening materials can be used to secure the lid.
Also, for convenient storage and transportation of various substances and materials, the trunk can be divided into several parts, sections.
The most important thing in this business is not to be afraid to fantasize and experiment.
Do-it-yourself wardrobe trunk is suitable for unoccupied people at a certain point in time, because. for the manufacture of a high-quality trunk for an ATV, it is worth considering that a lot of time will be spent. But there is a plus in making a case with your own hands. The upside is that you will save a lot of money, which in the future can be used to develop your future or to fulfill your dreams. For manufacturing, you will need the ability to work with devices, patience and perseverance. But believe me, all this cannot be compared with the fact that in the future you will be proud of yourself, looking at him and saying to yourself "What a good fellow I am that I did it with my own hands!" And in the future it can become your paid hobby!
Good luck to everyone in this business, may you get the most luxurious trunks for your ATVs!!!

We'll talk about everything here!
I also advise you to read:

interfered with movement and did not cause any inconvenience. Many owners often ask this question. In this case, there are these accessories - wardrobe trunks made specifically for ATVs. What it is? With what they are eaten and what they generally are, we will try to make out with you now.
In general, in translation from French kofrik means “chest”. We will interpret the definition a little differently, so to speak, in quadrocycle language. Cases for ATVs - a container of a special shape and size, which is attached to the ATV, to solve the problem of transporting oversized cargo. They come in different stiffness and location on the ATV.
Subdivided by hardness:
Hard cases for ATVs (rear) - are made of reliable impact-resistant plastic that protects your belongings from mechanical damage, as well as from dirt, dust and water (easy to clean). Some models are suitable for installation inside an audio system. Learn more about audio systems here . This ATV rear case will also serve as protection for your music. Separate models have different departments for separating things.
Installation of this accessory is very simple and does not require any additional fasteners or special training. Special equipment stores have a large selection of this product, there is plenty to choose from.
ATV bag soft
In turn, the ATV soft rear case has a fairly solid frame, a central compartment, a set of bags of various types of hanging type. A soft case for an ATV is cheaper than hard ones, but there is a minus in cleaning, i.e. cleaning them from dust and dirt. Some models have soft seats and backs, which are convenient to use in single quads. Put this and ride together, as the internal volume allows. Models have luggage compartments located in the armrests.
Probably some quad enthusiasts from the name have an imagination, soft - it means it does not hold its shape, bends, clanks from side to side while moving! Not! This case for ATV, although it is soft, has a fairly good elasticity, thanks to special inserts and a frame. It is firmly attached to the quadric and confidently rests on it. If necessary, you can lean on your back, in addition, the name confirms the soft surface, which increases some comfort.
The front panniers for ATVs differ from the rear panniers in their overall size, they are slightly smaller, which reduces the volume. This was done for reasons not to close the review when driving, because your safety depends on it. Most often, the front wardrobe trunks serve to place fragile items in them.
The next way to sell wardrobe trunks is useful for people who do not have enough money. Do-it-yourself wardrobe trunk for an ATV will help solve this problem of lack of money. It will also be useful for quad enthusiasts who sometimes have nothing to do and want to try their abilities of skillful hands. Busy people don't have to deal with such things! It's easier to buy and not waste time.
I'll warn you right away! You still have to spend a little, because you need consumables for manufacturing! And I hasten to upset those who decided to make a do-it-yourself wardrobe trunk for an ATV completely free of charge. Probably this won't work.
The material can be used hard foam (not based on soft balls, but fine foam), or foamed plastic (otherwise PVC), about 10 mm thick. Also useful: self-tapping screws, good glue (capable of gluing plastic), a file, a grinder (or a good knife), a ruler, a pencil, latches for securing the lid against opening, door holders for the lid (choose according to your taste, which you think is more reliable).
Let's start production:
Bottom production
We take the approximate dimensions from the quadra, we are considering the future dimensions of the case! We draw a shape on a sheet of foam, saw it with a grinder, or with a knife. The use of a knife in this case is more expedient (less dust and cut more evenly), but we put on gloves and rags on our hands so as not to crush.
Next, to the bottom, we cut out the required size of the sidewall, put it on glue and screw all the parts together. Please note that the adhesive base should not eat away plastic, carefully read the instructions for using the adhesive and the suitability of plastics for gluing.
