Trying to get the canopy top to fit. Having a difficult time. I do not know what to do?

As I was putting mine up, I noticed that the canopy is not an exact square, so you're going to have to match the dimensions of the canopy to the dimensions of the structure exactly

I also had a very hard time getting it to fit. Finally used a bit of a metal bar placed into the final corner pocket as a lever to exert a LOT of pressure to put it over the end.

We had a bit of a problem too. We left it up as stretched as possible for the sun to help make it more flexible, it worked

I had my men pull it to fit!needs a lot of muscle,it's a tight fit.but we did get it on.enjoy!

Have another person pull towards your end of the canopy from a ladder up on the middle section, pull hard , it won't tear, you can stretch it, it takes a Village to put this up ,but it's well worth it, once we got the last pull over the top. You can do it! Happy Independence Day!

It can be done but you have to take your time. Two setting it up goes much smoother, especially when it comes to putting the top of the canopy on.

I would suggest that you purchase the Z-Shade Venture 10' x 10' Pop Up Instant Shelter Canopy (also found on Amazon) rather than trying to fit a product not specifically for the Venture.

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.

I remember having the same problem, and the solution was to make sure the deck was fully lowered. To do that, I believe I had to turn it on, and push the down arrow to make sure there was no incline set. Then it fit. Good luck!

Finding a cover that works is the biggest P.I.T.A. I bought one that was close and kinda rolled the top up a bit. You can but one from the same company that will fit but it is not cheap.

The sides have flapped velcro, so it sticks out of the fabric. The sides velcro wraps around the metal bars at the top of the corners. I fold up the canopy top to make room to attach the sides. I then attach the sides wrapping the velcro straps around the metal on the frame, get that all situated, then fold the canopy top back down over the sides. It looks nice and clean.

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.

I had a very difficult time getting it to fit as well. I don't know what the trick is. Sorry.

Mine fits on my off brand canopy. It's just little plastic clips and metal hooks that clips onto the metal frame.

If your canopy is a true 10x10 it should fit. The canopy I have is 10x10 @ the bottom but at the top it's only 8x8 which is weird, so it has a little slack at the top. Doesn't really bother me but if you want a true tight fit you'll need a true 10x10. Hope that helps. ..

There is an adjustment on the end that attaches to the house that will tighten the canvas up. If that does not work just rewind the canopy back a touch and it should tighten up the slack. Hope this helps

It's not compatible. I bought it for my daughter and she said the canopy didn't fit. The write up about this item was very misleading.

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.

We had the same problem. Then we realized that we had the bottom metal bars where the top ones go and vice versa. Make sure you have the right bars in the right places.

I don't know. I have the same problem with my canopy as well. I found a pole that was long enough to stick up under the roof where it sags and I put it in the space under the grommet when it rains. It works out well for me. The water just runs off the area corner that sags.

I had to adjust the peak height on mine. I drilled a hole in the center hub at the peak, pushed a 3/8 inch threaded rod up and secured it in place with a wing nut on top and bottom of the hub, placed a rubber ball on top to avoid punching a hole in the canopy peak, and it works great. Took only about ten minutes and a few dollars in hardware. I like it because this also gives me a rod hanging down to put an outdoor small ceiling fan on. Hope this helps.
