DIY- Patio hard top conversion from canvas

After going through a couple of canvas tops we wanted a more permanent solution. This video shows the process of what we did to make it. The results were great and we were really happy with it.

Items used
SunTuf Polycarbonate panels - 8' lengths (bought 16 and had extra)

2x2 wood for adding to structure to make easy to screw on

I just used drywall screws and strapping to secure the wood to the frame. Another viewer mentioned that they aren't structural, so I recommend finding a structural screw.

Screws that have rubber backing that are used to mount the panels, these are sold by, and made for these panels.
