Replacement Canopy Installation Instructions

Safety First: WARNING!!! This process requires a person to use a ladder to reach the top of the gazebo. It is important that the ladder that you use be stable and safe. It is important that a second person be present in the event you need help. Safety should be your number one priority to prevent falling during installation. If you do not feel comfortable removing or installing the canopy, please seek a professional for help.

Remove Your Old Canopy First

1. Ladder - You will need a stable ladder that will allow you to safely reach the top of the gazebo.

2. Loosen Bottom Tier Canopy – Remove the roof bars from the corner pockets. Start with any corner pocket. Pull the corner of the canopy away from the center of the gazebo. This will allow you remove the end of the metal roof bar from the corner pocket. Repeat this for all four corner pockets of the bottom tier canopy. Next, remove the ends of the roof bars from the four side pockets. The side pockets are located midway between any two corner pockets. By now, the side pockets should easily pull away from the metal roof bars. Unfasten all Velcro straps. Velcro straps are usually located on the seams of the canopy. With the bottom tier canopy loosened, push the fabric of the bottom tier towards the center of the roof, and let the canopy sit there on the frame for now. Now it’s time to remove the top tier canopy.

3. Remove the Top Tier Canopy - Start by removing the roof bars from the corner pockets. Do this by pulling the corner pockets away from the center of the gazebo. Repeat this for all four corners. You should now be able to completely remove the top tier canopy from your gazebo.

4. Remove the Bottom Tier Canopy – Remove the bottom tier canopy from the gazebo by looping its center square hole through the top tier frame. The top tier frame has four prongs, each pointing towards one corner of the gazebo. This process will require you to loop the center hole of the bottom canopy through one prong at a time. The first prong is always the most difficult. The process gets easier with each prong of top tier. If the center hole of the canopy is too tight to fit through the prongs, you may need to temporarily loosen the prongs of the top tier from the hub. Once done, you can completely remove the canopy from the gazebo.

Installing New Canopy

1. Ladder - You will need a stable ladder that will allow you to safely reach the top of the gazebo.

2. Partially Install Bottom Tier Canopy – The bottom tier canopy should be installed first. Do this by looping the center square hole of the bottom canopy through the top tier frame. The top tier frame has four prongs. Loop the center hole of the bottom canopy through each prong, one prong at a time. Do this for all four prongs. If the center hole of the canopy is too tight to fit through the prongs, you may need to temporarily loosen the prongs from the hub. After you loop the bottom tier through, you should tighten any of the prongs that you may have loosened earlier. Once this is done, let the bottom tier canopy rest on the roof structure. Do not fully install the bottom tier canopy yet, you still need access to the top of the gazebo!

3. Install the Top Tier Canopy – Rest the top tier canopy on the top tier frame. Pull each corner of the top tier towards the end of the prongs. Insert ends of prongs into the corner pockets, one prong at a time. You will need to pull a little harder on the last corner pocket to complete the installation.

4. Fully Install Bottom Tier Canopy - Begin by pulling the corners of the canopy towards the corners of the gazebo frame. Fasten the bottom tier tightly to the frame by inserting the ends of the corner roof bars into the corner pockets. Do this for all four corner pockets. You will need to pull harder on the last corner pocket, as there is less slack available. Next, insert the side roof bars into the side pockets. The side pockets are located midway between any two corner pocket. Do this for all four side pockets. Then fasten available Velcro straps to the roof bars.

5. You’re finished! Enjoy!!!

5 star s Great service. Called and ordered a new patio cover and was delivered the next day! Submitted by: Heather from Vacaville, CA on 05 - 15 - 2012 5 star s Submitted by: Verna from Los Angeles, CA on 05 - 12 - 2012 4 star s Garden Winds service is excellent. They helped me find the exact replacement of an old canopy. It was from previous owner, I have no idea which store did they buy from and the universal one doesn't look like a fit. The product looks good. Just a little pricey, otherwise I will give them a five star. Submitted by: Zhibin from Yardley, PA on 05 - 07 - 2012 5 star s My family and I are very pleased. with our new canopy from Garden Winds. Just in time, from the scorching heat in Texas. Thanks. Submitted by: jesse from keller, TX on 04 - 28 - 2012 5 star s Thank you so much for your wonderful product! We put the replacement on this weekend, and it fits perfectly. It is so nice to be able to order the replacement from you. With the Florida sun it only lasts for two years. Thank you again and hope it will be available two years from now.
