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 – Unfasten all Velcro straps. Velcro straps are usually located on the seams of the canopy. Depending on the model of this gazebo, you will also have to remove the hooks on each corner of the canopy from the frame. Removing the hook is as simple as unlatching it from the frame. (Hint: the hooks should be attached to a thick elastic band). Next, remove the corner finial ornaments. To do this, simply unscrew the finial. Pull the canopy fabric away from the corner, and then towards the center of the gazebo roof. Repeat this for all four 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 four corners. Next, remove the ends of the roof bars from the two side pockets. The side pockets are located midway between the two corner pocket on the long side. By now, the side pockets should easily pull away from the metal roof bars. 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 rectangular hole through the top tier frame. The top tier frame has four corner 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 the 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 rectangular hole of the bottom canopy through the top tier frame. The top tier frame has four corner prongs. Loop the center hole of the bottom canopy through each prong, one prong at a time. Do this for all four prongs. If you loosened the top tier roof bars during removal of the old canopy, here is when you want to tighten the top tier roof bars in place. Doing this will allow you to install the top tier later. Once this is done, let the bottom tier canopy rest on the roof structure. This canopy is rectangular in shape. Make sure that the correct sides of the canopy line up with the edge of the gazebo. Do not fully install the bottom tier canopy yet, you will still need access to the top of the gazebo to install the top tier.

3. Install the Top Tier Canopy – Rest the top tier canopy on the top tier frame. The top tier canopy is rectangular in shape. Make sure that the correct sides of the canopy line up with the edge of the 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. Next insert the side roof bars into the side pockets. The side pockets are located midway between the corner pockets on the long sides.

4. Fully Install Bottom Tier Canopy - Begin by pulling the corners of the canopy towards the corners of the gazebo frame. The canopy is rectangular in shape. Make sure that the correct sides of the canopy line up with the edge of the frame. Fasten the bottom tier tightly to the frame by placing the corners of the canopy over the corners of the gazebo frame. You will need to make sure the bolt that supports the corner finial also fits through the pre-installed grommet rings on the canopy. Do this for all four corners. You will need to pull harder on the last corner pocket, as there is less slack available. On the underside of each corner of the canopy, you will find a hook with an elastic band. Attach the hook to the hole on the post to securely fasten the canopy to the frame. Now, screw the corner finials into place. Finally, fasten available Velcro straps to the roof bars.

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