Anyone have links to some good DIY canopy websites

Looking to make one 21" long 16 wide and 12" tall with a flip up door in the front and flip up top.

At home depot it looks like the widest oak or pine is 12"

yeah, and it isnt really 12" wide, it is about 11.5" - i use a biscuit joiner to join two boards to make one wide enough to use on solid wood pieces.

Guess I'll be doing a plywood top and hardwood for the rest:(

they usually carry a butcher block type slab of oak at lowes that might work for ya - at least it would be solid wood and not plywood.
