Show Off Your Custom Canopies and Stands

[Wy Renegade]

Been browsing back through the archives, and there are lots of threads that show individuals builds in progress. I thought it might be fun to do a show off thread for custom build canopies and stands. Perhaps if there is enough interest we can get it stickied so its easy to find. So, post em up . . .

[Wy Renegade]

Guess I'll get us started;

Here's a rustic one I built for a fellow reefer out of blue pine and logs;

And the top opens all the way up;

Never have finished the doors, but here is my own out of aromatic cedar;

Both of those are super cool Randy, nice work. That's one thing I've never really ventured into DIYing......hmm!

Very nice Chris!

This is my old tank. The stand is stock, and the canopy was made to match:

Thanks Chris!

Your build is pretty sweet as well; I've been trying to figure out how to do a stand for a 75gal with a 55gal sump underneath without a cabinet door - think your build just solved that for me.

Jim, love the custom look on yours as well.
