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 strips on the inner valance. Velcro straps are located in each corner and at the center pockets. 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 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. Once this is done, let the bottom tier canopy rest on the roof structure. Tighten any roof bars that you may have loosened earlier. 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. Now fasten all of the Velcro strips on the inner valance, located at each corner and center pockets.

5. You’re finished! Enjoy!!!

Submitted by: JIM from JAMISON, PA on 04 - 16 - 2012 4 star s I was worried that this canopy would be too tight and start tearing. But it actually fits better than the original. Ordering process was easy. Was shipped the next day. It came across country ground shipping, it took about 6 days to get, but that was fine, was not intending to put it up right away when I got it.
