Comments on site RECOMMEND assembling top first, says it take about an hour an a half to assemble... Sunjoy Industries in Steubenville, Ohio for new canopy - phone number is 740-283-2815. Or try Gardenwinds.com... spray the material when new with a UV canvas protectant that you can purchase at your local Marine Supply store. Got that tip from a local canvas awning company. They say it will more than double the life of your canopy material.... i went to sunjoy industries website as instructed by some reviewers. they are available now and actually on sale for $ but please read the descriptions. target has sold TWO different models in since 2005. one is from 2005-2007. and the other is from 2008 to present. the canopies fiT differently. home depot also sells one. so read!...put up curtains and fairy lights and turned the gazebo into a second living room...One hint is to put the top small canvas to the small roof before you connect the small roof to the big one!!

Question now is, where to put it - on the deck? Over the firepit? In theory the canopy makes the deck usable on rainy days, and extends the living area.
