What canopies can i use?

What brand of canopies can I use to fit in 2-250 watt halides where the bulbs are not too close to the water? It seems like most canopies are only 5-6 clearance on the inside. Any suggestions?

Most of us use wooden canopies, they are either DIY ,custom built or stock canopies. If you had one built around 11'' high, you should have enough clearance.

I figured 12" would be sufficient. What i found was that all the STOCK canopies are only like 5" clearance on the inside. I was trying to avoid custom built for my lack of woodworking abilities and trying to save on the cost of a custom built canopy but It looks like i either learn how to woodwork or cough up the money.
