Hey folks. What is the best wood to frame my canopy with for my 210 build? Do I need to do any sealing of any sort to make it water-resistant? frame won't be seen as it will be covered by panels let me know. Thanks.

Hey @Deezill - if you use 3/4" furniture grade plywood, you will not need a frame for the hood.
Regardless of whatever path you follow, I would definitely seal the entirety of it.

If you want more info simply send me a PM. BTW - I'm also in Chicago. Well, technically, NW burb but probably not too far from you.
