what kind of canopy/umbrella do you use with this?

It should come with its own canopy, which should fold down into a small bag like a camping chair. It provides shade, and some protection from rain, but windy storms will still get rain on whoever is inside. My wife has taken our kids walking on a trail during rain, and its probably better to just let them get wet and not worry about the canopy.

I don't have a good answer. I ordered a canopy from Amazon that was advertised to fit all the RF wagons and it didn't fit. My daughter loves this wagon (has twins and a 3-y-o), but has not able to find a suitable canopy either.

This model doesn't use an umbrella. We have never had any complaints from our three children who are still using this as 3 and a half year old twins and a 20 month old. It is our go to ride.

In addition to the feet mentioned by another suggestion, each corner of the canvas top has a loop to tie a rope on and attach to a stake. Also, if you are going on the cheap, purchase 5 gallon plastic buckets (Lowe's, etc) to fill with sand, gravel or water if you can't stake the ropes. Amazon has sand bags and other items designed to hold the canopy down in a windy situation. Lots of choices!

I don't see why not but doesn't the grandstand wagon already come with a canopy? I use ours with the Radio Flyer All Terrain. While it does not cover the whole wagon, it does offer enough shade for our 4yo when he wants to sit and chill.

If by canopy you mean an 8ft umbrella, then yes. I have mine on a 9ft patio umbrella and it fits perfect. We use it in our backyard and we love it.

If the umbrella has square tubular legs about 1" on each side with a tab on the bottom where the leg would be staked to.the ground, it soould fit. Most canopy umbrellas that I have.seen will fit.

I leave mine up with the canopy off- just the poles- through the winter and if winds are strong. We tape the connections with electical tape- it stretches and comes off easily. We also have it tied down to our deck. I'm in Norfolk, VA. If a hurricane or Nor'easter threatened I'd take the whole thing down. It's pretty big so it catches a lot of wind. I would say just use common sense. Replacement parts are available. We had some poles bend in a strong windstorm and just bought PVC pipe to put over the poles. It slipped on tightly ,was secure, and not too heavy.

I'm not too sure with that. However, I find the shade works better with a canopy as the shade itself do not have a definite support... No fixed metal frame... only soft wire frame... the canopy supported and provided shade a shape.

I don't think it would work. I also have annotate umbrella in addition to other standard ones and called the company directly to see if they made canopys for offset and they said 'no'

Yes, but honestly, I never really ended up using this much. It was more of a hassle, and kind of a cheap product. I still haven't found the perfect product to shield the sun, but found the larger canopy's worked better. I also questioned just how much protection it was giving. Sorry for having more complaints and not a direct solution to offer. :(

I use a rain cover for mine. It can only take a minimal amount of rain (i.e. small drizzle).

You do not need the canopy. And the headboard and footboard are different heights. I hope I helped.

We have an in-ground umbrella cup on our patio so I didn't buy a stand, but I would suggest a heavy stand since the umbrella is heavier than most.

First of all. the mfg warns about high wind application. But if you weight down the 6 legs, there are hol;es for screws on the end of each leg. You couls also use a conrete block to anchor each leg. I would reccomend that you be able to fold down the whole canopy when not utilizing it, to avoid a heavy strain on the unit. After all it is made to be mobile and not permantly set up. Otherwise a very attractive and functional canopy. I would reccomern with the cavet athat you do take precautions when in use..

Any type of metal or plastic base would work for this. It is a fairly light umbrella.

I apologize for the late response. I really like the holder and most foam handled umbrellas will work with this holder. My only concerned was the wind. While on a windy afternoon I found the holder to be rather clumsy.

I'm just an Amazon customer. I bought the new canopy for my 3 person swing through Amazon. They also list new cushions for patio swings. Just look under patio and garden and click on swing cushions.
