I am in the process of building my Stand an canopy for mt 28 gallon Bow. I built the basic frame out of 2x4's, and the front part out of 2x6's. These are not my pictures, but are from who I copied from.




I used 1/8 inch hardboard for the front, as the frame for the canopy was all built out of 2x4's ripped in half.

I am waiting to get the maple wood veneer to put over top of everything, to match my floors.

I built the canopy so the front swings open like this (Again not my pictures)



I did not incorperate the doors into my design, it seemed too "fussy"

This is how it will look after my veneer is applied
