I built my canopy on the quick and dirty some 15 years ago. A light 1x2 frame with a thin plywood skin. It's held up great considering, but I didn't do any interior paint etc and the wood is starting to rot after years of getting wet by my carelessness. I'd like to rebuild it and basically use the same construction - but do it "right" this time. So painting the wood, but I'd also like to use real joinery methods. I butt-joined pretty much everything on the last one, with a few cross braces, and deck screws to hold it all together. I think it was really the skin that has held it square...
What's your favorite corner joinery methods? 3-way corners especially. A lot of what I see is for square wood, not rectangular.
