How do I adjust the canopy & where do I attach the bar w/ the elbow, hanging from the right side?

You adjust the angle of the canopy, by sliding the brackets up or down on the back 2 support poles. The only "bar w/ the elbow", that is on my chair, is on the underside of the canopy canvas, which you lock the elbow in, to keep the canopy taut.

I love this chair! I haven't used it since the Jazz Fest in New Orleans but I had no problem taking the chair out of the carrying bag and just spreading out the legs, lifting the canopy and sitting in it. I didn't have to put anything together. While sitting I was able to adjust the canopy left, right, up, and down according to where the sun was. I'm really not sure what you mean by "attach the bar w/the elbow" but the bag was in place on both of my chairs and all I had to do was unwrap it from around the arm rest. Wish I could've helped with your question but both of my chairs were very easy with no put together pieces parts. I love this chair!

The canopy has many adjustments by sliding up and down the support bar. The only thing hanging down on the right of mine is the mesh pocket. You may be looking at the locking bar which is the horizontal elbow to hold the canopy wide open. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have this Summer. JHW

There is an adjustment on the end that attaches to the house that will tighten the canvas up. If that does not work just rewind the canopy back a touch and it should tighten up the slack. Hope this helps

Pull up on the end of the middle bar. Adjust it out to the length you need and then snap the middle bar back down in place.

You should have instructions. It can be adjusted. See web site for details.

You make the bar the correct size and can peel the shade down to match the length of the bar. Very very simple. Corrects only the width of the shade, not the length.

I just got this and put it together fairly easily. I can't get the final two corner of the canopy on. You need to pull the fabric taut and I don't seem to be strong enough. Any tips, am I doing something wrong?

I did the same thing - went to the strathwoodfurniture side and found nothing. However, there shouldn't be any assembly required. Mine came fully assembled with the canopy on. Obviously, you will need to place it in a good market umbrella stand. One interesting note, the arrows on the crank handle point in the wrong direction - following the arrow up and the umbrella folds down and vice versa. Also, I couldn't find a locking mechanism on the crank, but it seems to stay up well without one.

There are two bolts at either end that you loosen and then adjust the bolt with the plastic caps on it to raise or lower the entire awning. This was still no enough adjustment for me so I made some custom mounts with about a 30 degree pitch to them out of 2 x 4 stock and that fixed the issue.

I had that issue as well but I bought some Profile Design Boxer Bar Ends which can be easily installed and give you an upright position when riding the bike. They're available through Amazon as well.

The straps that come down from the four corners of the top canopy have hook and pulley systems which attach to the hooks/straps on the weight bags. I use the bags half filled with sand, and attach those to the straps/pulley tighteners. The first time I put it up, there were a series of storms that came through, lots of wind, etc. and the structure stayed put. I hope this helps. I decided against the heavy plastic weights, so I can't respond about how you'd keep them attached.

I also purchased a U shaped bar that attaches underneath the back of the seat to stabilize it. I took it to my local bike shop and they put the seat and bar on for me, as I did not know how to do it. If they used anything additional, they did not tell me or charge me. I hope this helps.

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

Hi Al,I don't have anything to add to the great answers already provided. Some have really specific instructions step by step, and what to do if you decide to take it down or move to another location. This is what I remember doing, and though it's short on instructions, you can see the directional arrows for clockwise and counter-clockwise to lock it in place right on the chrome suction part of the bar. Good luck!

Remember, there's cross bars that are only meant to go on the ends, the others snap together, of course those holes are smaller. Just make sure you are not using a crossbar that is meant to go in the middle on the end. The cross bar holes meant to go on the ends, where the wing nuts go are big. Also make sure you are using the right stand meant for the backdrop, not the ones meant for the umbrella lighting.
