If the company you purchased it from doesn't make one for it, make sure that any weight you are going to put on it will be safely supported. Some frames just aren't strong enough. -

You will need a number of cross timbers fixed in place before you could lay anything on it. i assume it is wood and could take the weight of a hard top roof. -

Use the supports for the canvas and put up light weight plywood, then tar paper it and shingle it. That should be pretty easy approach for your need. Hope it all goes well! -

Check your city codes to see what is allowed. My city allows arbors and pergolas, but gazebos have to match the house’s shingles and design. Canvas and plastic are not allowed. ☺️ -

That's a good idea, I will look into it before I make my purchase
