12. END-TO-END LINKING OF SMALL AND LARGE
CANOPIES AND OFFSETTING SAME-SIZED CANOPIES
Hinge parts that will be positioned between the tension
cables on large panels must be inserted into the extrusion
channel before the large canopy is tensioned. Check
the orientation of these hinge parts carefully as they are
inserted into the channel to ensure that they will mate
up properly when the small canopy is connected.
See the example below.
This method of assembly for linking hinges also applies to
installations with staggered same-size panels. See the example
with offsetting 4' x 10' panels below.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove the tension cable
from a canopy that is suspended. Doing so may cause
serious bodily injury.
