Re; Canvass install
See if one of the vendors will fax you a copy of the installation sheet.
There are also picture installation in the archives.
Looks to me like you need to get the pop-top fiberglass off and onto the
ground. I'm sure mine is different but it is just stapled to a wood frame
in the top. But very hard to get to.
