How to Choose the Correct Replacement Part

Choosing a canopy replacement part is simple if you follow these steps. Because model names often repeat across different frame versions, measuring your part is the most accurate method.

🔍 1. Measure the part you already have

Model names can change, but measurements stay the same.

Measure:

  • Truss bar length (end-to-end, in inches)
  • Leg type (straight-leg or slant-leg)
  • Slider/connector shape
  • Hub style (center piece)
  • Canopy top size (10×10, 12×12, 13×13, etc.)

Every product listing includes exact measurements.

🖼 2. Compare the shape, not only the size

Even if the length matches, the shape may differ.

Check:

  • Hole placement
  • Connector angles
  • Plastic/metal design
  • Attachment style

Always compare your part to the photos in the listing.

♻️ 3. Same model name ≠ same frame

Brands often release multiple versions of the same “10×10” or “Instant Canopy.” Different stores (Walmart, Costco, Academy) may receive different versions in the same year. This is normal — and it is why measurement is essential.
