Big Empty Hood?

[mr_X]

i keep coming up empty handed in my search.
i need a large empty metal hood. something i can fit 2 mogul sockets with mh bulbs, and maybe some room for a couple flourescents. 48 inches by as wide as possible.
new, used..don't matter. just priced accordingly.
i will hang it, make legs for it..whatever it takes.
anyone with ideas/links?

Why dont you just build one? Maybe out of oak, It would probably look nicer and would rust alot less.

yeah..i could do that...or just use my existing canopy and retrofit it.
but what i want is a giant metal hood to hang above my canopy.

i'll explain. the canopy i have, i feel is not tall enough to house 400 watt mh bulbs. i think they will be too close to the livestock/water.
it would be nice to have something that sits on top of it made from the exact wood, so it matches. however, i don't have access to woodworking tools. i do have access to steel, sheetmetal, and welding tools. so something made from metal that can be painted is probably easier to create. i have seen some large black hoods in LFS, that will fit everything i want to put in it. but when i ask them where they got them their answer is " i'll order ya one" someone told me coralife makes them, but my web search came up lame.
