very nice did you design the canopy yourself or model it after another one

i ask because im about to do the same
 
i just kinda made it up as i went along, the whole top, crown and face hinge up as one piece. i am currently fabricating some gas strut/shocks to assist in the weight of the top for opening.:)
 
pretty easy to do, only bad thing is now i have no light in my beer fridge cause i stole the door switch!! hasnt hindered my drinking tho. lol :D
 
thanks everyone, we are very happy and once its all set the kiddos get to pick there own piece of livestock.
 
Very nice work. Does the canopy interlock together when it's closed so it won't bow out/in over time?
