Do you struggle with the canopy? Seems like it should be one handed and seems way harder than it should be to operate. Do you get used to this?

Wasn't hard, all the contrary,the canopy is awesome, almost full coverage, very easy to operate, just like carry a basket, yes is one handed and you get used to this. The only thing I can say is a little heavy, but not complaint, I rather hold this solid and secure carseat than a flimsy one.

Hmm, I didn't have that problem. It does need to be facing the right direction, but I assume you've thought of that. I sometimes have to give it a good push to get it clipped in. But I find it more difficult to get it unclipped. Are you having a problem with both sides? Might want to see if you can get your swing exchanged.

I cannot help I did my wrong and am stuck with a canopy that does not fit. Good luck

super easy if you run servo wires on outside and under canopy. some spent little more time and glue servo connectors into body near wings so it's clean. up to you

It is much easier to install the canopy with two people however my husband has done it by himself. The trick is to feed the canvas through as level as possible. The structure itself should be taken down accordingly to manufacturers recommendations however we left ours up this past winter. After surviving one of WI harshest winters in decades, the structure came through like a champ! I would suggest that you store the sliding doors elsewhere. They aren't as secured as the rest of the structure.

I take my canopy off every year, just reverse the installation process. Not very difficult, gets easier every year. The down side is that these canopies do dry out and after two years you will have them ripping very easy so you need to take care when handling. Good luck!

Per your question, I tried to operate this using only one hand and found it very difficult . I also have one made by Simmons (prosport ) that I can use with only one hand. Hope this is helpful.

When it is new it's a bit stiff, as you use it more it does tend to dip a bit but that is why they give you longer hooks for when it's new and then you can go without them to tighten it back up, I am about 190lb and it has never dipped to the point I feel like I am on the ground. It is a bit stiffer then a rope hammock but once you get use to that it's very comfortable. I even gave my rope hammock away! I have had mine for over a year and have had NO issues with it. It gets the most use in the Spring and fall but with the nice canopy I have even used it a bit in the summer.

My was not clear. The king canopy will not withstand any wind at all. The sightest win and the plastic is off the frame. I tried tying it down but this did not work .

We also have had issues with the canopy popping off. It's an awful design and was not worth the money. I've been contemplating finding a way to permanently affix the canopy. It would no longer be movable but at least it wouldn't keep falling off. It's actually a safety hazard in my opinion as my daughter has had it get in her way or land on her foot. It just falls right off when you try to adjust it. Definitely would not purchase again!

Hi, I have the canopy packed away until next market season; however, we didn't have anyone bump their heads on the canopy with the legs fully extended. I am not able to measure exactly for you but again, no head bumping on the frame or side overlap. We always kept the legs in the 2nd extension not fully at the 3rd.

I don't think it would work well without a canopy underneath and there is no frame or structure to support it. I honestly have a hard time with it and I have a canopy, couldn't imagine it without it.

When I first got the "Wind Tunnel" I was able with some difficulty to stow the "Hand Cleaner". When I went to get it out I needed to pry it out with a table knife handle, but when I went to stow it again it simply wouldn't happen. I chalked it off to a very bad design and tossed the "Hand Cleaner" into a corner where it would be easier to access when needed. Maybe these engineers need to work more on their ergonomics!

Sorry it has taken so long to respond to this question. It sounds like you have a 'twist' in the frame. This can be fixed. You need to follow the frame from the top of the tent down to where you feel the frame begin to twist and work the twist in the opposite direction until it pops back into shape. The shade should be as good as new.

I don't yet know the answer to your question. The new canopy just arrived, and it will be few days before I set up the gazebo for this season. My gazebo is also the JCP one, however.

I do it on my own. I'm a 37 year old healthy woman, not super strong. What's challenging is not so much moving it around but more about learning the tricks of getting canopies like this to open. It can be a little tricky the first couple of times. Often there is someone who can help for just the 1 minute to open it - just helping pull the legs away from each other and snapping it into place. I needed light help the first 4-5 times and now figured out how to do on my own.

The first year (2013) it was difficult to install the canopy but I managed. I took it off for the winter to keep the frame from collapsing due to heavy snow as happened to the previous tent. It ripped a little in one corner during removal. The second year (2014) it ripped further in that corner. This is my 2nd tent of this type. The first tent was made slightly different and the canopy was larger and of better quality. I was able to put in on and take it off more easily than this one. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The canopy is undersized.
