In order for you tobuild your own gazebo canopy it is best to decide what type of wood and materials that you would like to use. You should first start out with a sketch of how you want your canopy to look like. You can buy wood and tools at your local hardware or lumber store.
If you are good at construction, then building you own outdoor gazebo is an option. It will be better and probably cheaper to just have someone build it for you.
Make sure to take proper measurements and purchase highest quality canopy at local home store then double tie canopy to gazebo.
A canopy or Gazebo
You could use sail cloth or canvas to make a gazebo canopy. Check your garden stores or big box stores for replacements.
A gazebo is a pavillion structure. A gazebo is typically octagonal. A "normal" gazebo typically has a roof that is hard and more difficult to replace. While a canopy gazebo has a softer top that can usually be replaced more easily as it is cloth material.

A gazebo with canopy can cost you anywhere around $100 to $300, depending upon the size, model and material of the gazebo and canopy.

Each gazebo canopy is a little different and each will come with a set of instructions. The basic process involves laying out the fabric on the ground so that it is square. Then you attach poles to the corners and the center to lift up the canopy. The poles are usually held in place by rope or wires.
The gazebo will last a lot longer if I build it with oak. Meet me at the gazebo in the garden!

If you can't find the replacement canopy for your specific model, you can look for universal hex gazebo canopies of the same dimensions. While not a perfect fit, they can be quite close.
