Kato,

I'm in the processof finishing my canopy off. From the paint pont of I used a white glossy marine paint inside and wood stain outside.

I would give yourself room with the height to raise and lower your lights. I'm starting at 6" from the water surface but can go up to 10".

The only other key thing I think is to make sure you will have room to work on the lights (change bulbs) without a big hastle.
