Canopy

[bkvreef]

I have a perfecto stand that has what appears to be pine wood going vertically. The pieces are about 5 - 6 inches wide.
I am looking for ideas of types and designs for a canopy that I can build that would match this design.
Pictures are always very helpful!!!!!!!!!!!

here's the canopy I built for my perfecto 125 that I know longer have. it had for lighting 4 400watt halides under spider reflectors and 2 72" vho actinics powered by a icecap 660. the stain I made up was honey pine ,golden oak mixed aprox. 50/50 satin finish

GREAT!
Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for!!!
Do you happen to have any pictures of it inside (without the lights on).
I have p.c. and t-5's so my canopy will be shorter, but still I like the looks of it.

I don't know how much you know about wood working but...
The drawers I made it with 2 by 6 and 3/4" ply wood and the canopy is 1/2 ply wood and i made it so i could get door from home depot... it is hard to put into words... if you need to know more just ask and i will try to help

Here was a site that I found and looks like it should work well
Any suggestions on the process that was listed?

sorry I don't have any pic's left,, the perfecto tanks are kinda hard to use a premade halide system do to the single center brace, so I retro'd the halides and VHO's to get the spacing right so nothing was near the center brace. you won't have any trouble with the PCs and T5's they will run a bunch cooler then the halides do...

I don't have the set-up any longer, if I can recall they were seperate.
the canopy I made was also seperate, the local lumber yard had a ton of 2 foot cut offs they gave me so I was lucky.
