Assembly
The following instructions are intended to assist with the assembly of the Retractable Freestanding Canopy.
Please contact ShadeFX if you require clarification of any of the steps listed below.
The assembly of the Freestanding Canopy consists of three major steps:
1. Locating, Securing and Leveling the Base
2. Assembling the Structure
3. Attaching the Canopy
The steps of
Locating, Securing and Leveling the Base
will vary depending on the base type selected
(Concrete/Wood).
Assembling the Structure and Attaching the Canopy
remain constant across both base
options.
Step 1: Locating, Securing and Leveling the Base
In Step 1 you will connect the post to the base, locate & align the bases to each other and level & secure the
bases to the mounting surface.
Concrete Base / Wood Base
Concrete and wood bases follow the same set of steps. If wood base is selected, the deck must be reinforced
at base locations to ensure all screws are engaged in structural wood. Contact ShadeFX if deck reinforcement
recommendations are needed.
Connecting the Post to the Base
i.
Connect post to base using 3/8”-16 x 1” flat head socket screws (x8). The post plate aligns with
the recessed cutout in the base. Repeat for other post(s).
