    Looking to build a canopy for my 46 next weekend, noticed most posts are 3 years old. Sides and back brace I started, mostly looking for ideas on the front. I'm going to piano hinge the top front half too.

    Show me what you got and build pics would be great! =)

    Coming along great. I remember how much of a pain in the rear it was when I built mine. I didn't care for it after a while and like the lol of the open top now. Can't wait to see it finished.

    Yea, only reason I built it is to get my Leds off the lid and since it's in the living room I didn't want conduit and light scatter =)
