Before installing10'x10' Replacement Canopy I watched your video give 67 year man strength, to put my self without any help, thanks for clear instruction
For the past ten years I have dreaded the canopy replacement procedure. Every 2 years the thing shreds because we don't take it down. Every time we put in the new canopy I want to go somewhere and pound sand. For the first time, FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! we learned BECAUSE OF YOU to release the arms at the top of the gazebo. Geeze!! What an absolute difference. While we did not purchase the canopy you suggest (we made our purchase previous to viewing the video) we did receive with the new canopy the instructions you gave in your video. I'm a professional video producer and applaud whoever was shooting this to go in at the right time to allow the viewer to see close ups of what you were doing. Dang! You just made our lives that much easier. A+++ Thank you!
Thank you for this video . I am a person that can not wait to put something up when excited.. The person that knows how to do this, informed me that I needed to wait a week for him to help. AFTER watching this, this much older lady was able to put it up herself. I felt proud of myself.
Dude. Best tip ever. Every year I dread putting up the canopy. I’ve ripped 3 going up or coming down. Removing just 2 cross bars at the top made it soooo much easier. Thanks!!!
Great video. Thanks for the tips. Here's another quick tip. When putting the canopy back up, I use a long pole to spread the canopy out and towards the corners.
Great videos I watched both parts. I'm changing my roof today, I wish I knew about the other fabric so thanks for the link I will order my spare roof with the fabric lock . Nice job.
Thanks for the tips, removing the supports from the center piece made a huge difference in putting the new roof corners in. Funny thing for me, I had a spare canopy for 2 years and when i finally opened the box, the small top canopy piece was missing, I was lucky I didn't destroy the old one when I removed it from the top. I am using it now . Thanks again. Great job on the videos.
My canopy was torn to shreds this morning from a wind storm; however it was very old. Your video will be very helpful when I can find a handyman to do this for me. I am a 64 yo female and a whooping 5’2”. I think I’ll need the help.
Here is an important tip for these types of gazebos: You need to stiffen up the frame joints because there is always a certain amount of movement which, over time, could cause a failure where the bolts screw in to the posts and hold the side braces up. How do you do this? Large heavy duty zip ties. Lowes sells some that are 3/8" thick. These are the ones you want. At each corner post, add two zip ties above the upper bolts and two zip ties below the lower bolts. Also, in the middle of the side braces, there is a bolted joint connecting the two halves which make up each side brace. Add one zip tie above and below the bolt. Doing this will greatly increase the longevity of the frame and help it resist flexing due to wind. Trust me on this. My gazebo has survived storms that it should not have thanks to the zip ties (and extra paracord tie-downs).
great video, wish I had known about using the release buttons before I tore ours, Its a few years old so We got the use of it. but now looking for a new top, I do not have the manufacturer and Am not sure what or who to order from. Most websites do not show the holding pins you have to stretch to reach, so Until your video, I was sure they were all different. Seems only quality is the difference. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I increased the life of the ordinary canopy from 2 years to 3.2 years by clamping the blacker material to the metal, that’s about 8 Bessey clamps on each end. 32 clamps it prevents the wind from slowly tearing the canopy. Crazy but it works.
So it looks like from the video that you had left one of the top part connections out you only had connected three not 4 from what I can see, but then after it is connected not shown in the video and you are putting the velcro netting on ?Did you have a hassle with that because I am finding it hard to connect the top part click in bars.
When you put the canopy on the metal corners. Its best to put it on like a tire. Dont go in a circle which makes it much harder to pull. I did it with ease by criss crossing the canopy like an X. Start at one corner then opposite corner and so on. Then when pulling the sides down go acroos not in a circle.
This is true, putting it on in a X pattern may help initially, but some of these canopy tops will be really tight, so if you are still having issues with getting the canopy top on, don't force it and rip it, just loosen one or two of the metal rods.
Hello, thanks for the video and I have a question can you buy replacement parts for this canopy? I need the part that snaps on the top of the roof the four-way connector would you know where I could get one from? Thank you?
Where did you get the extremely large concrete blocks from to pave the backyard? Did you DIY this project as well? Nice job 👍🏽. I open my box and the center fitting is missing plus the top framing for the top of the gazebo that stands up. SMH
CUrious why you didn’t just remove the top from the sides completely, put it together on ground and two of you lift it back into place? I think that was how I originally put it together
Just make sure the bottom straps of each curtain are strapped to each pole. It will still blow around a bit on the bottom, unfortunately not much you can do with the curtain moving a bit in the center
What item # is your gazebo? Mine has no Velcro between vent and roof I had to wire them together but bugs still get in My gazebo is item #2634987 Calling Lowe’s is no help…
The cover I bought from amazon with the Velcro vent was: ABCCANOPY Riplock 350 Replacement Canopy, Top Cover for Lowe's Allen Roth 10x12 Gazebo #GF-12S004B-1 (Khaki)
Those canopy gazebos are junk. I would never buy one again, just bought a hard top . Replacing those canopy never fit the same as the regular one at least for me .

You just don't know how much you helped my life today! I just completed this project 10 minutes ago and feel so proud! From one Dad to another cheers!

Yes. We just got the Gazebo ready to install, but due to the hot weather, we will build it when it gets cooler. Thanks for the tutorial anyway!
Thanks a lot!! I am replacing my canopy this week, and your videio is very helpful!
This helped me install mine very easily, thanks for the tips
Thank you for installation tips, my cover just arrived yesterday and installing it today. 06/12/2021.
Life saver on the top part. On the bottom part, what I did is put the corners first and the middle parts are easier after the corners are done.

Nice tips for a Pain in the A job! Thanks 🙏

Oh lol part 2. Should have put a link with part 1. Any how thank you for the videos
Great job explaining everything !!!
I have the same gazebo. I find best to attach the 4 corners first then the 4 center ends. There is less pressure on the corners that way.
this was very helpful thank you
Super informative. Thanks!
I need to know why you didn’t finish putting the rails together in the middle? Great video! Thanks

I put mine up myself but I'm at the last corner and I cannot stretch it enough to get it over the pole. Suggestions?
Give thanks for this video help me a lot
Hello, thanks for the video and I have a question can you buy replacement parts for this canopy? I need the part that snaps on the top of the roof the four-way connector would you know where I could get one from? Thank you?
I use a plank ladder when working on my gazebo. More mobility, and it's safer.
Can you explain how you loosened center part so that replacement canopy fit
What website exactly you ordered your new top from, and I need to order another bar for across the top

Your video was a life saver. The instructions are terrible. Good Job!

Can you buy velcro for the original cover?
Where did you get the extremely large concrete blocks from to pave the backyard? Did you DIY this project as well? Nice job 👍🏽. I open my box and the center fitting is missing plus the top framing for the top of the gazebo that stands up. SMH
CUrious why you didn’t just remove the top from the sides completely, put it together on ground and two of you lift it back into place? I think that was how I originally put it together
You can do that as well, however that does take more time and two people, but either way works
Good job 👍🏾
I have to get a new top curtain for mine
Do you have a video for the initial gazebo assembly?
Do you have a recommendation on the gazebo straps once it zipped up. It tends to blow around with the wind?
Just make sure the bottom straps of each curtain are strapped to each pole. It will still blow around a bit on the bottom, unfortunately not much you can do with the curtain moving a bit in the center
Did you put some kind of sealer on it?
No, but you can apply a fabric weather sealer from your local hardware store

How do you stop wind from blowing mosquito net up. No lower tie down hooks. Garbage engineering.
Mine has Velcro that attaches to the top of the canopy, I usually don't have any problems with mosquitoes
