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 of the canopy. 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 pocket. 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 center finial at the top of the roof. You can do this by unscrewing the finial. Next remove the roof bars from the corner pockets. Do this by pulling the corner pockets of the canopy 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. 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. The center of the top tier canopy should have a grommet ring hole that will allow the finial bolt to fit through. Screw the top center finial back into place.

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 THank you so much for our replacement canopy. We thought we would have to throw away our metal frame and buy everything new again like so many of our friends have done. The replacement canopy arrived in a timely manner and fit perfectly. Our first rain also proved it to be waterproof. Thanks again for a great replacement and great service. Submitted by: Shirley from Perry, OH on 05 - 04 - 2012 5 star s This product is a good replacement, and the service was a quick and easy time manner. Very satisfied! Submitted by: Kelly from Bloomsburg, PA on 04 - 22 - 2012 5 star s We had been searching for a replacement canvas with no luck until we found this site. we ordered and received our product in a week. The ease of ordering, and the delivery (we used regular shipping) was right on time. The quality of the replacement top is good, but next time we will order the higher quality, thicker material, as that would have been exactly what we had before. We were not sure, so went with the one that was less expensive. The new replacement was extremely easy to install, fit perfectly, and looks great. Price was good, and we will see how it holds up during this year. We will definitely be ordering again. Submitted by: Pat from Watertown, CT on 04 - 21 - 2012 4 star s I was so excited for this to be available this spring! Love it! Submitted by: ruth ann from mazeppa, MN on 04 - 18 - 2012 5 star s We were so pleased to buy the new canopy. we have not used it yet. We are still using the old canopy for now.
