Hey mate, check out BOXY's D40 build thread.
Hes got a solid rig and built a canvas canopy with a wicked frame for his, but he shows a fair bit about how he made it etc. Think its around page 3 onwards or so.
Hope this helps.

If ypur gonna get the cover made by a canvas goods manufacturer or an upholsterer go chat to them before you start. i do it for a living and theres nothing worse than someone bringing you a well built frame that is missing the finishing touches that make it impossible to get a great looking canopy. you make the cover the best you can and its just average cause the frame doesnt sit flush or have good lines to work around.
