how hard was it to get the cover stretched and attached to the frame?

To get the cover on was easy but I had help screwing it all together. Not because it was hard but it helped keeping it aligned.

Took my husband and I about 45 minutes. We laid out all of the parts and followed the directions. The one time he thought they were wrong and did it to his specs, he was wrong and we had to redo one yep. He thought the hooks on the spacer were to hole the cover down. Wrong! They are to hold the tensor that goes underneath to the frame. I basically read the directions nd handed him each piece as needed. The only time we needed my hands was when attaching part B, the last piece of frame, to parts A and C. You can do it!!

We put a wrench under the hook & pulled as hard as we could to stretch it around. Wasn't easy, but we got it.

Not too hard...takes 5-10 minutes to remove/put on. FYI, while I enjoy it occasionally, the difficulty of assembly wasn't worth it! It took 2 of us 1/2 day.

I had to put mine on a few different ways until it looked right. YouTube probably has videos on how to put them on. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help

I had to use Vise-grip pliers, of all things, to stretch the last corner of fabric over the frame. Mine didn't rip, although I thought it might.

I think you are asking about how easy do the two parts separate?....fairly easy...you have to squeeze a handle and insert the extension Into the frame it is a tight fit though

Take our small screw on cover, keeping cover attached it swings out of the way. Then you mark (2) holes to drill and install provided anchors then screws, swing cover back down and secure with set screw. Hope this helps

Yes, it was hard to get over, the frame has to be even all the way around, just inch it down little at time, wait tip ends are down before fastening velcro on inner frame, hope this helps, once in place it's a great fit, we take it down for the winter, but we had once ice storm that tore some of the cloth in the velcro areas around the frame, ordered a replacement canopy to use next season and hope fits just as good

Okay, so we also had trouble but the second time of putting it together I learned some things. First, I learned that taping the poles together made a huge difference. I put the frame work (the top) together, tape the poles (clear packing tape or white duct tape) to the corner pieces, and THEN added the cloth covering. After each corner had the cover down we then (takes at least 2 people) started adding the long leg poles to each corner. It worked out so much better, and was easier, and everything fit! Good luck!

Fold the material about 1/2" at the end and then you should be able to put 3 metal screws through the fabric into the frame to hold it in place . The screwing location would be ideally on a different plane than the one you'd sit on. Wrap around the frame and then screw it in, pull tight and do the same on the other side. Could use a washer or small drilled plate to provide additional support...just a thought

Sort of. I tried to put it together and realized I couldn't do it alone (just me?). I put everything back in the box and assembled it later in the week with help. The screen had to be stretched to fit the frame. No wrinkles.

All that must be done is: 1. Unfold the frame. 2. Fit the silver border onto the frame (a tight stretch) 3. Screw the (6) legs TIGHTLY into the frame. For best results, use a small pipe wrench, because they gradually loosen with use if you screw them in using only your hands. 4. Attach the jump counter/timer to one of the legs. 5. Slip the stretch bands onto (2) of the legs. 6. Push the elastomer endcaps (feet) onto the ends of the legs.

I used a bar to force everything down to get it into place. Don't be afraid to muscle it. Everything should come together. Loosen everything up and try again.

I just saw this question and I'm sure you must have it on by now but wanted to answer for others out there...I had a difficult time as well bc there's only a picture for instruction. But, I had also ordered a second small basket that came with its lid on so I looked at how that was on (just like the picture instruction) and realized I needed to use FORCE to snap it in. That's all it needed to go right on.

I had trouble with this, too. I just kept trying. Reposition, try; repeat. It took quite a few tries, but it finally fit into place. Kind of finesse it in.

It doesnt attach very well so whatever you're trying is probably correct. Also, just a heads up, I found with mine that if I kept folding it up and storing it again the framing gets moved and the frame will bend inwards instead of outwards in some spots.
