How to install a Canopy with Regular and Electrical Fittings - DIY

Hey guys, I am using this new background music, what do you think? I want to use one so I don't spend so much time looking for new ones for each video. Any comments??
ok, this time I was in a hurry to install this canopy because of the rain so I decided to make a video because I did it a little different than usual. I don't know if somebody did this before me, maybe, but is a cool Idea.
If you don't want the canopy to have legs next to a wall you can screw it to the wall or to the roof, using metallic electrical fitting you can have the corners and and center done to hold the tubes! Next video will be woodworking related so come back :D .
Any question please comment!

Using conduit bodies as fittings is a nice hack. 👍🏾 I would recommend treating the EMT (conduit) with paint or something because it is not suitable for outdoors over time and will rust. If people don't like the music, they should learn to turn the sound down and appreciate the work. Not my preference, but it worked well for this video to me. ( Jazzy Nintendo😜)

[@MakingStuffco]

Raymond McGee haha thanks. Yes. The piece that touch the floor is rusting slowly. I might paint it ! Thanks for the comment!

[@sannor5929]

Thank you! Your video gave me an idea of how to solve my canopy problem!

[@MakingStuffco]

thats nice :)

[@ronaldassel5765]

Nice music background,my kids thought it was a video game.

[@primordialgodis3290]

Absolutely love the song

[@nemesisnta9333]

What about when it rains? Won't it flood up in the middle of the tarp and cave in?

[@McScott76]

Not a bad approach to the frame, but I can tell you from years of camping experience that you're going to regret not having more of a slope and an overhang when it rains. Water is going to pool on that tarp and create a huge mess when you go try to drain it off. Next time, you should make the pitch (slope) of the frame steeper and wrap the end of the tarp over the frame to create more strenght and prevent the tarp from sagging when rain water inevitably pools on it. Maybe you live somewhere that rain is a rare thing, but I imagine by now you've already experienced these issues.

[@MakingStuffco]

McScott76 those are good tips but I live in florida with a looooot of rain and no issues yet. Thanks a lot!

[@McScott76]

Cool. Glad to know it worked out well for you. I'm thinking of borrowing from your idea to build a canopy extension for our camper -- same basic concept, but using schedule 40 PVC in place of the metal conduit.

[@alchemistlogic9421]

@@MakingStuffco please tell me the thickness of the pole dimensions? Thank you very much

[@JaimeRodriguez-wx8vx]

Nice work. Are you using 3/4" diameter EMT conduit pipes, corner fitting's with an inside diameter of 1"? I Found a web site that sells them, just want to make sure I order the correct size fittings to accommodate a 3/4" conduit pipe.

[@MakingStuffco]

I used the 3/4 conduit pipe and the 3/4 fittings from the website I added on the description. Not sure why you said 3/4 with inside diameter of 1”. Nothing was 1”.

[@JaimeRodriguez-wx8vx]

@@MakingStuffcoI got that 1" inside diameter size information from the 3/4" product details.

[@MakingStuffco]

@@JaimeRodriguez-wx8vx i use from a1tarps the fitting called 3/4" 3-Way Peak Corner Fitting (P3J)

[@Retroweld]

Very cool!

[@MakingStuffco]

Thanks :)

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Nice result!!

[@MakingStuffco]

Thanks man. I know is something simple but I need it so much!

[@mihumus]

Nice project mate!

[@TheWritingGirl]

I just did one of those, kinda, I used wire in between and started some vines.

[@Ab_someone]

That's what have in mind for my rooftop but how long do they take to grow?

[@kathyc4718]

My try in the wind failed , screw didn't hold , flopping around till the corner brackets broke it was a mess, so I Re-Engererd it.

[@jerryha499]

What was your frame size and what size tarp did you get? E.g. did you size down?

[@MakingStuffco]

Jerry Ha 10 x 16. And the tarp was 10x16 on descriptions but they always come a bit smaller so they fit the frame!

[@halfadozenangels]

No music :)

[@KimberleyB]

I had to mute it. It was awful.

[@raynechantel2738]

This is exactly what I need! Thanks so much for posting this. Could you tell me where you bought your canopy? Did you make it? Thanks very much--great info.

[@MakingStuffco]

Rayne Chantel hello. The site is a1tarps.com. :D

[@raynechantel2738]

Ah! thanks so much. appreciate your time and response. Keep up the videos!

[@raynechantel2738]

Thanks for the info--I got on their website and they have great prices and the material is already has grommets for a very competitive price.

[@MakingStuffco]

Tony Ramirez the link is in the description :)

[@G-P-E-N]

@@MakingStuffco No, it is not, the link only takes you to the starting page of HD 😨. Also, what kind of fitting is the one you are working with at 2:24 of the video? If you could give the name, it would be possible to search it even if the link you have here is not working. Thank you.

Nice

Try to make it wooden with stodoys

[@jacl4953]

[@dougkauwe4539]

At 3:01 you have the parts labeled backwards corner and center fittings.. Other than that great video

[@MakingStuffco]

[@MakingStuffco]

Ma G haha nop, but Its better ! Haha

[@mollyjd7585]

what size pipes are you using? how often do you need a post? actual instructions would be more helpful than music

[@MakingStuffco]

Molly JD everything is 3/4, but you can go to 1inch if you think is necessary

[@Mike-pj1kv]

Please turn up the music louder so that I can't hear any voice at all.

[@juanalcantar8588]

I stop watching the first 30 seconds when he grabbed the wood where he was cutting it from

[@MakingStuffco]

Yep, huge mistake. I was learning. I still have my fingers. Don’t need to be rude, you could take the same time to say something smart !

[@meloncollie1371]

I really wanted to watch your video, but the music is too annoying!

[@evhguitarstv43608]

dude you gotta learn how to use a circular saw... unless ur thinkin bout making a diy finger reattachment video

[@MakingStuffco]

That is a great idea, haha. I know, that was a long time ago, I learned already and I have all my fingers!

[@KimberleyB]

Good build, but the music was horrible and way too loud.

[@altha-rf1et]

Wish you people would stop putting up CRAPPY music

[@MakingStuffco]

altha 2014 wish you could stop writing your crappy comments!

[@aquaria206]

what dreadful music ... take a dislike

[@MakingStuffco]

Sure. Thanks

[@tonyk9722]

Loose the music...ahhhhhhhhh

[@bincognito6036]

lose the music

[@MakingStuffco]

Lower the volume!

[@brucetouzel6484]

music is distracting :-)

[@Tammythankyou]

The annoying music deterred me from watching most of this video. Plus the horrible annoying (music) was louder than the talking. Made it hard to interprete what you were saying.

[@algo9136]

Obnoxious music.
