Help Me Create a Canopy

So I have a king size bed frame made of steel. It's very sturdy and doesn't squeak at all, so we love it. However, I'd love to add a canopy frame to it so I can set up my projector and watch movies all cozy in bed. My husband doesn't want a new bed frame to replace this one, so I'm trying to find doable alternatives to a new bed frame. Option 1: Attach rods to ceiling. This is a problem because of the ceiling fan. If I were too mount anything to the ceiling and go around the bed, the fan would hit it. If I wanted to do it anyway, I'd need to move the fan, which is a huge ordeal. Option 2: Create a canopy frame and attach it to the existing bed frame somehow. Unfortunately everything I've found for this online is cheap, tacky, and not structurally sound enough to hold curtains and not fall over. I'm frustrated. Any suggestions on how I can make this canopy happen without pulling my hair out? Images of bedroom: https://imgur.com/a/VjauyG3 submitted by /u/squirtlesquad90 [link] [comments]
