    i had an idea of of making a canopy but instead of using a plywood for a top using plexiglass so i can hang my par bulb above the canopy anybody think this will work?

    I'm sure you can make it work if you're willing to put some time and effort into it.

    Sounds logical to me. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
