Linear actuated Floating canopy lift.

[Fishinbob]

I've learned a ton on this forum so I figured I'd share my latest project for a linear actuated canopy lift. Main structure is made of 1.5" 80/20 aluminum.

Here are some of the linear bearing guides

The 20" stroke 225lb linear actuator

All the misc parts and fasteners connected

Installing the 2x4 and 1x10 backing

Finally installed and testing!

And finally with the stand in place

And some videos of the test
