Looked on line...Nothing...I left it out and it's faded and coming apart...You'd think a replacement would be available, but I guess they just want you to buy a whole new canopy...Doesn't seem very nice...Here's the "kicker"...My cats loved to jump from the tree on to the canopy and they put little holes in it...lol

Thanks for the help guy's...! But, guess what...? A replacement TOP is $129.00 dollars...I only paid $99 dollars for the entire thing, on sale @ Big 5...Geez...I guess it will go out with the rest of the "scrap"...I'll know to take better care of "My Stuff" next time...

A word from the wise fellas...! Put it away when your done...!

You just need some Sunbrella, a cone of Tenara thread, and a Sailrite sewing machine. I'm making a boat cover for one of my Boston Whalers with my setup.

Don't throw the frame away that is what usually get broken, a lot of good patrs there.
Your a bigger frick'n hoarder than I am...! I like your style...! Last year I got some use out of it buy just throwing a tarp over the frame and tying it down...I could buy some canvas and make a top, but you know what...? Give it up...! Life's to damn short to be holding on to that junk...It was only a hundred bucks for crying out loud...! lol

I bought a few of the $100 models for our lacrosse club, then a few more and when we went to buy the next few we realised the $100 ones weren't holding up. One of the biggest problems was that they were erected by various people for our events and most of them were confused about anything mechanical even on a good day. We bought some with the heavy duty frames and they were well worth the extra money. We ended up cannibalising some of them for parts and in the end it was a real pain in the **** taking care of them.

I still have my own heavy duty canopy. I now use it more now for sun and rain cover in the back yard for ongoing construction jobs. They are great to have but you have to anchor them well or the wind WILL take them away and result in one hell of a crash.

I used to be a distributor for a high end brand. The $100 type are light duty and are disposable. The nicer brands start at $250 and most are $400 - $600. We made custom printed tops that cost $400 - $500 so we needed quality hardware to make the covers last. They all say 10ft x 10ft but the cheaper brands are normally 116" - 118" so replacement covers may not fit to well. Even the pitch angles vary from brand A to brand B.

This! I bought one for working on the car, left it set up in the driveway and went in to eat lunch. When I came out, it was gone! We drove around the neighborhood, thinking it was stolen. When I finally thought to look behind the garage, there it was! A microburst of wind lifted it right over the garage!

Look for someone with a junk frame and get their top. I have picked up a bunch of twisted frames out of the trash at motocross races for parts. Typically, there are tops there too but I haven't needed them.
