Canopy Instruction Manual
Forming the canopy dome:
Step 1: In an open area, position the canopy so that the inside of the canopy (with canopy supports showing) is
facing up.
Step 2: Manually expand the canopy spokes evenly in each direction as much as possible.
Step 3: Using your foot, step on the center hub of the canopy to invert and lock the supports in place. The canopy
will ‘flip’ into its proper convex shape and become stable. (fig.1)
(fig.1)
Installing the telescoping support poles:
Step 1: Unlock the clamps on bottom two
telescoping support pole and extend the
pole to its full length. Lock the clamps to
hold in place. (fig.2)
Step 2: Remove existing caps from anchor or
stacking joints. Replace with adapter caps
that have holes to receive the poles. (fig.3)
Step 3: Insert widest end of telescoping support
pole into recess of stacking joint stake.
Repeat with remaining poles. (fig.4)
Note: Before installing the canopy, ensure all angles of the sandbox are equal. (90º for the square sandbox. 120º for
the hexagon sandbox)

Attaching the canopy:
(Note: This is easiest with two people)
Step 1: Position canopy top so that canopy connectors are aligned with support poles. (fig.5)
Step 2: Insert support pole into canopy connector cap. Repeat with remaining poles. (fig.5)
Step 3: Extend the top telescoping to its full length.
Step 4: Pull canopy flaps together at each corner and affix with Velcro tabs.
To convert to sandbox cover: (Important : Lock each each lever before releasing next set of poles)
Step 1: Release the highest clamp on each pole. Canopy will now slide down to the next set of levers. Lock first lever, then
repeat with each additional level of clamps until the poles have fully telescoped into each other. (fig.6)
Step 2: To inhibit animal intruders, secure ties at base of cover.
(fig.5) (fig.6)
To convert back to canopy:
Step 1: Release each bottom set of levers, then extend and lock first level of telescoping poles. Repeat with each
additional level.
Storing the canopy:
Step 1: Remove canopy from telescoping poles. Place on ground right side up (as it came off the support poles)
Step 2: Using your foot, step on the central hub to invert and unlock the canopy supports. (fig.7)
Step 3: Compress canopy sides together to close. (fig.8)
