Wood for Truck Canopy (post #169759)

Wood and Materials

I am planning to build a canopy for the back of my truck. I was thinking of using cedar strips. Do people have any thoughts about using this wood for this purpose (either good or bad) or any suggestions of what a suitable wood might be?

Thanks,

Brian

Hello

Have a look at the attached canopy built by my husband amaster craftsman and boatbuilder.

This canopy uses red and yellow cedar and is lightweight -with epoxy coating.

Let me know if you would like more info as it is for sale.

The cedar will definitely work. (post #169759, reply #2 of 2)
