If you are staging an outdoor event, such as a party or street fair, you will likely be using canopies. These are ready-to-assemble covers that are made up of frame poles and a canvas canopy roof. If you think the reinforcing bar that acts as the spine of the frame is broken, you can replace it with a new bar. This will require partial disassembly of the canopy.

Difficulty:Moderate1

Pull the stakes in the holes of the feet plates out to release the canopy from the ground.

2

Tilt the canopy on its side, so two of the legs are on the ground, and remove the pins from the top of the two legs where they connect to the frame connectors. Remove the two legs from the connectors.

3

Tilt the canopy on its opposite side, and remove the remaining legs from the connectors.

4

Turn the canopy over so that the canvas ceiling is on the ground and you have access to the frame. Notice the reinforcing central beam running along the center of the canopy.

5

Remove the pins in all frame connectors connected to the beam.

6

Remove all cross poles from the connectors. Remove the beam from the connectors and set it aside.

7

Fit a new beam in the canopy. Replace all frame connectors, cross poles and legs.
