Not too exciting compared to some of the other projects here but this was one of my first welding projects after the table and some yard art. Miged a canopy with 3/4 inch 16 gauge tube and a nice cool roofing vinyl top.

Yep I spend many an evening photographing the heavens. Spent a good portion of my career as an underwater photographer as well so I guess you can say I've done it above and below.
The dome doesn't rotate but the leaves fold down to completely open in. There is a concrete pier inside that I mount my telescopes to.
I just welded 3 sets of 3/8 inch bolts to the frame of the canopy and then bolted it to the top of the ROPS with some 1/8 inch plates straddling the ROPS.
