Support Uprights:
Determine desired canopy height. Mark the location on each 4’ aluminum pipe (item [18]) and insert into the base uprights.
Bolt support pipes in place.

Position and Install Canopy Frame and Cover
After the four canopy supports have been secured inside the base uprights, the canopy
frame is ready to be lifted into position.
With the Support Receivers moving freely on the canopy frame, raise the canopy frame
into position and lower the Support Receivers onto the canopy supports. Secure the
Support Receivers using M10x75mm bolt/nut, items [14] and [16].
The Canopy Frame is then able to be adjusted toward the front and back and should be
fit to the boat being stored. The canopy frame should be supported as evenly as possi-
ble with about 6’ of the canopy frame over hanging each support.
Once the canopy frame is in position, drill a hole through the Support Receiver and
Canopy Frame and secure using M10x85mm bolt/nut, items [15] and [16].
Lastly, Install canopy material evenly and snuggly over the canopy frame and secure
with ball bungees from the inside. The bungees go through the “D” ring on the canopy
and around the canopy frame.

Wheels, Bases and Augers:
Start by assembling the two piece drop legs and two
piece independent axles (as shown below). The as-
sembled drop legs are inserted into the shore side
base uprights to desired height and bolted in place.
The assembled independent axles are inserted into
the lake end base uprights, set to desired height and
bolt in place. Add large washers, wheels and hitch
pins to axle stub.
Next, roll the Free Standing Canopy unit into posi-
tion. The 1.5” i.d. steel pipe is ran through the pipe
sleeve on item [21] and the auger base is then
attached and secured. Use a pipe wrench on the
steel pipe to turn the auger into the lakebed at least
12” to anchor the Free Standing Canopy. Secure the
set bolt on the auger pipe sleeve. Additional pipes
and augers can be purchased separately.
