Question Glass Canopy

Hey Doug I seem to recall you mentioning a 'work of art' canopy done in fiberglass awhile back. I haven't heard anymore about it. Is something still cooking in that regard? It seems like it would make a great alternative and could be just as strong.

Bob,

I think you will hear more about the canopy in a month or so. It isn't glass, it's carbon fiber. Not not "as strong," but stronger. Or so I hear anyway. The builder is keeping things relatively quiet until he is ready to sell 'em, which is the way it should be. I am waiting, too.
