Decided having to lift my canopy every time I need access to the new tank isn't feasible. Also didn't want to make a door in the front so decided to motorize the canopy. Picked up a desk kit on marketplace new for $50 bucks and had a bunch of scrap angle steel laying around. Welded up a mount and this is what I came up with. Motor isn't as loud as the video makes it to be. Going to weld in some additional supports but works great. So i would say this cost me less than $100 to build. Can't wait to move into my new house this summer and set this 125 up. By no means am I a professional welder but the welds are sound and will do
