My first attempt at a canopy. I made it out of Pine, painted with black Semi-Gloss Spray Paint.

I wasn't sure about how to built one with a hinge, so this is built in a similar design as the typical pine ones that you see at the pet stores except that you take the top completely off. It worked out great because after the tops are off, it only takes one person to slide the canopy off to access to the tank.

Awesome job! Where do I place my order for a 50 tall canopy? (My next project with lighting and hinged.. But you did set a standard that will be hard to reach! Great job again.

Thanks Will!, I'll be modifying this design with some hinges to make it easier during feeding times. If anyone has other ideas, I plan to build more canopies in the future for my other tanks, so any suggestions are welcome. :)
