The ShadeFlex® Classic Canopy is easy to measure for and install to both new and existing structures. With it’s simple double-track system and easy to follow guides, you’ll spend more time enjoying your canopy, and less time fiddling with installation. For more detailed instructions, we recommend downloading the ShadeFlex® Classic Measuring and Install guides.
Begin by determining the overall width of the canopy installation, ensuring that measurements match on both sides of the structure.
For freestanding structures, measure the distance between beams. Make sure the space is clear of obstructions at least 15 inches below the track mounting level.
For attached structures, measure the distance between the wall and the corresponding beam or wall.
Be sure there is at least 15 inches of vertical clearance below the top of the track mounting location along the rafter projection.
*If there is less than 14 inches clearance available, consult with the Shade Specialist for custom handle lengths.
Determine the required track length by subtracting 5 inches from measurement B.
For this step, we recommend referencing your measurement guide.
Determine the track center-to-center spacing by first subtracting 4 inches from measurement A.
Divide dimension D by the desired number of canopies. This value should be between 34 inches and 64 inches.
For this step, we recommend referencing your measurement guide.
Begin by positioning a corner bracket at least 2 inches offset from adjacent walls if in a closed corner, or flush if in an open area.
Then secure it with the provided screws.
Next, install the remaining brackets based on the spacing shown in your installation guide, ensuring they’re all level and properly aligned.
Pre-drill pilot holes at the end of each track. Then, slide the track end insert into both ends of the track and secure it with screws.
Position one side of the track assembly against the mounting bracket and fasten it.
Repeat this process for the opposite side and for all remaining tracks.
Determine the correct orientation of the canopy by identifying the front slide lock and the roller lock pin.
Begin installation at the rear of the structure with the crossmember containing the front slide lock. Insert the first crossmember into both tracks simultaneously with the locking tab facing upward
Next, install mid crossmembers into both tracks at the same time.
Install the last crossmember into the tracks. Position this final crossmember at the desired stopping point for the canopy, measuring from a fixed reference point to ensure consistent placement across all canopies. Once positioned, tighten the roller lock pin set screw.
