New Canopy

NUGIO · 02-10-2004, 03:37 AM

Had this made because I dont have the time. But I did do some mods to it.

NUGIO · 02-10-2004, 03:39 AM

I first traced out the fans then cut out the holes. then counter sunk the fan into the hole

NUGIO · 02-10-2004, 03:41 AM

heres what it looks like from the out side

NUGIO · 02-10-2004, 03:44 AM

inside painted white. planning on puting some kind of trim or crown moulding on top soon as i get a mitter saw

Looks great. Good idea mounting the fans inside

Is that 1 or 2 fans ? Depending on your lighting you most likely will want 2, one push one pull.

Actually I know several people who subscribe to the both pull theory....Both fans pulling in cool air from outside prevents salt laden air from corroding the lighting and electrical connections as rapidly.....just a thought.
It does look very nice though!
