Is this how I make a DIY cover?

On my lids I used mosquito netting I got at a local hobby/fabric store for $1.

I also made my frame out of 1.5" strips of acrylic, but I would still use the mosquito netting with a screen kit.

That’s great looking cover. How do you buy and cut the acrylic? Thanks

I made a thread on how I built my lids.

How to DIY/make you own acrylic lids

I made lids out of 1.5" strips of 6mm acrylic glued together. I used clear, but any color would work. I originally made these with a 1" frame, but they were too flimsy and eventually broke in the corners. The 1.5" strips are way stronger and have been problem free. I then made a fence jig...

I bought several sheets of acrylic from another hobbyist I used for this project, but I've bought acrylic from local stores and amazon in the past.
