A retractable trailer enclosure system including a flexible tarpaulin adapted to cover the surface of a flatbed trailer and a roof frame for supporting the tarpaulin over the trailer head. The tarpaulin is at least partially retractable by selectively coiling one or both longitudinal sides to facilitate trailer loading and/or unloading. The roof frame includes one or more displaceable frame sections having one or elongated rafter support arms. The rafter support arms are pivotally movable under the weight of the tarpaulin between a lowered, generally horizontal position when the tarpaulin is uncoiled, and a raised inclined position when the tarpaulin is retracted and a longitudinal edge of the frame section is pivoted upwardly.
