Replacement Canopy Installation Instruction

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 – Unfasten all Velcro straps. Velcro straps are usually located on the seams of the canopy. Next begin removing the bottom tier canopy. Start with any corner. Pull the canopy fabric away from the corner, and then towards the center of the gazebo roof. Repeat this for all six corners of the bottom tier 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 six 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 the center hole through the top tier frame. The top tier frame has six 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 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 six prongs. Loop the center hole of the bottom canopy through each prong, one prong at a time. Do this for all six prongs. (If you loosened the top tier roof bars during removal, here is when you want to tighten the top tier roof bars in place). This canopy has six corners, make sure the each seam of the canopy lines up with one of the corners. Once this is done, let the bottom tier canopy rest on the roof structure. Do not fully install the bottom tier canopy yet. You will 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 placing the corners of the canopy over the corners of the gazebo frame. Do this for all six corners. You will need to pull harder on the last corner pocket, as there is less slack available. Then fasten available Velcro straps to the roof bars.

5. You’re finished! Enjoy your new canopy!!!

5 star s The canopy was shipped in a reasonable time. The material of the canopy feels of a better quality than the original. I will recommend Garden Winds to my friends and family. Submitted by: STANLEY from Beverly, MA on 04 - 02 - 2011 4 star s The replacement cover fits perfectly on the existing frame. The only negative is that this is my second replacement cover since these do not last as long as the original. Submitted by: Peter from Parsippany, NJ on 05 - 14 - 2012 5 star s Submitted by: Alvin from Lake Charles, LA on 04 - 30 - 2012 5 star s Service was very good, and the canopy fit, but some attachment straps did not fit flush with the top rail, some were flat on the bar when secured and some were above and below the bar and fit very tight. But all in all was satisfactory. Thank you. Submitted by: Donald from Aurora, CO on 04 - 28 - 2012 5 star s A Life saver! We installed the original canopy again this year (third year) on our hexagon gazebo. Monday extremely windy weather, it shredded. Did some research, found Garden Winds, ordered a replacement and by Saturday we had a new canopy on the gazebo. Fits and looks great! Submitted by: EMMIE from FRANKLIN SQUARE, NY on 04 - 21 - 2012
