Hi Jorge,

If you type in the search heading you will find several different articles on canopies. You can also google on how to make canopies, on your computer and that will give you some avenues to play with. Have a great day and good luck, Gary

Hope this helps!
Of course, you can contact Bill Sawyer on this site for more info if you dont want to try it for yourself!He would need a plug(a coated  wood mold of the intended canopy) to pull it for you.
