You only need to put the canopy on the frame the first time you use it. then it stays on the frame

The first time, you'll have to put the canopy on the frame. After that, you can leave it on.

The canopy cover remains on during at all times including set-up and take-down. Very easy to set-up take down, and very light-weight compared to similar 10x10 canopies. The frame in the middle under the canopy hangs lower than I expected and can be troublesome to taller people, but for my purposes to use on sports sideline to cover team bench from sun or parent sideline also for shade, it has worked great! The light-weight aluminum frame makes toting it around easier, but this also makes it susceptible to wind when open. We have used weights on the legs to help keep it in place.

Yes, you do not have to use the canopy. It was already too low for my 20mo old, so we don't use it.

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.

It sound like what I have, the rectangular tubular frame on mine comes apart on the front and back. The tube will slide through cloth channels sewn in the the top of the canopy. It fits very well.

Once you put the canopy on the frame and loop the straps over the eyebolts at the bottom of the legs, it will hold together very well. Mine blew off my deck in a strong windstorm because I didn't have it secured down. It stayed completely together in spite of rolling several times. Much easier putting up with 2 people, but you can do it alone.

I would like to share that this unit weathers very quickly. We have had it since July 2013 and the canopy is all faded and its looking old. So, I would encourage you to continue your searches.....hope this is helpful. Have a great day!

You need a frame for the canopy that connects to the single bar on both ends

Ok John, lol I'm so glad you posted this because it made me take the time to go and give it another try. Someone else actually put this together so I never had a chance to see the instructions. So here's what you need to do. Snap the top part of the canopy on behind those 2 raised bolts that are sticking up. Then glide the canopy right over the two bolts...the bolts sticking up are what secure the canopy to the carriage. Problem solved. Hope this helps!!

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.

We found that the canopy will work on the frame despite being a couple of inches too short which makes the corners not fit in the slots. Hopefully it will stretch a little over time.

Yes, it is. It wasn't exactly like the model I had before, but it works alright. The model that I had to begin with didn't have the pop up in the top of the canopy.

When I put mine together, I found that I had to put the upper canopy on after stretching the large canopy because the opening was too small to go over the upper frame. Because the ridge pieces telescope and lock with buttons the way tent poles used to, I just unbolted one corner, released the lock and slid the ridge piece up a bit, slipped it back in to the cover's pocket, locked the ridge piece again (stretching the cover tight in the process) and put the bolt back through the corner. Ditto the small top canopy, then bolt it on last.

I am sorry that I can not help you. Mine was purchased at Christmas time and is working great. For $4.99, I did buy the Canopy Protection Plan just in case.

In order to use the posts we would have to drill a hole to make them work. We have posts too and didn't use them. I will tell you now that I am using the canopy more and more, the top doesn't stand up like the photo shows. Mine kind of lays flat which is okay but the screen netting moves around in wind and rain gets in and everything under the canopy gets wet. Nothing like the original replacement but we tried to get that first and couldn't. It is an okay replacement but we also had tried numerous things to keep bugs from getting in between the top and the screen netting.I wound up stapling the netting border to the flaps hanging down. Works like a charm but I had to improvise a lot. In order to use the posts we would have to drill a hole to make them work. We have posts too and didn't use them.

I do around 20 outdoor shows a year and I have no problem setting it up by myself. Trick is to push from the middle of the tent and push up so the canopy extends out then it makes it easier to snap the top part in.

It attached to the frame with Velcro tabs on the inside of the canopy. It also fit very snug around our existing canopy frame. It was easy to put on, as me & my son did it by ourselves without the assistance of my husband. :)
