The canopy is shown in each segment. My plan is to make each segment out of hard pine and then glue and dowel each segment together. Will most likely be two main segments to fit into the vac machine at my disposal right now. Like I mentioned earlier I have a 18x24 platen skin packaging machine which is actually just a big vac forming machine. It does need some work and is 3ph which I would need a phase converter to run. I have thought about opening a business doing canopies for people and might work on that machine this coming summer. Send me a plug and I will pull the canopy sort of thing. Try and collect plugs for future canopies. Of course, once you start making your hobby a business it's not so fun anymore! LOL
