How Do You Replace A Garden Gazebo Canopy?
Thanks to large-chain home stores such as Wal-Mart and Lowe’s, the out-of-the-box gazebo has become a popular addition to the home and patio. But in punishing weather and summer sun, the canopies look tired and faded after a season or two. With a little ingenuity and a few sewing skills you can revitalize your canopy. Determine in advance the type of fabric that you will use in your new awning. Since most awning fabrics are available in pre-measured widths, you should pay special attention to the width of the cloth roll. This will later determine how much fabric you purchase. Remove your canopy from the gazebo and carefully disassemble your old canopy by ripping apart the seams using a seam ripper. The pieces of canopy will be your pattern for your new canopy. Lay the pieces of canopy flat, spacing them closely together. Measure the total square yardage that the flat pieces cover in order to determine the yardage of fabric that you must purchase.
