Autoez 10'x10' Gazebo Canopy Top Replacement 1 Tier Gazebo Cover Outdoor Canopy Cover

I ordered this replacement top in the winter so I would be sure I would have it for the summer season. We finally stopped having unexpectedly torrential rain, so I was able to install the top on the day of the summer solstice. This is an unexpectedly nice item. It unfortunately comes with zero instructions. There are two parts to this; the main canopy and a smaller, skirted top to cover the vent hole in the canopy. They included a tool that made installation a lot easier once I figured out what the heck it was for. There is a strap sewed to one corner of both pieces.Here are the instructions that they should have included: The wide side has a "14" marker sewed to it, if you can't tell by eyeballing it. Assemble the small vent cover while safely on the ground. There is a sewn strap at one corner to help pull the last corner over the end of the frame. I didn't need to use it here, but that is what it is for. Note that there are ties at the corners of the fringed screening material. Drape the large canopy over the gazebo's top frame, with the supports for the vent cover protruding through the opening. Spread out the canopy on one side, and slip the two corners over the ends of the frame. Pass the assembled top frame through the open frame of the gazebo to get it on top. Snap each support into it's matching socket. Loosely tie the strings at the end of vent cover to the matching strings on the main canopy. (This is the part I figured out after I assembled the whole thing, but didn't figure it was important enough to disassemble and start over again.) Finish spreading the canopy out and slip the third corner over the end of the frame. The last corner to be attached must be the one with the loop sewn onto the top of it. It takes quite a bit of pulling to stretch the material enough to pull the last corner over the frame, and that is what the included tool is for. Use the tool through the loop to pull the fabric to the corner while you use your other hand (or preferably a second person) to work the corner pocket over the frame. After that it is accomplished it is easy enough to slip the mid-way fabric pockets over their respective frame tips, and the Velcro fabric connections are self evident. Remember to save the tool where you can find it; I needed to replace my old top because it tore at the corner when I tried to remove it last autumn. Having that tool will hopefully make removal a safer process.Good luck!

This product was put up Memorial Day weekend 2022. The seams must match up perfectly with the frame ribs for easy assembly. The rust red color looks very nice! It to early to say if the fabric is durable day after day in the UpState NY fluctuating weather. The price was right for this product. It is one of the few things that has cost me less than the last replacement topper from two years ago.
