Is it just the canvas or is it attached to the frame?

If it's attached, will be possible to fir yourself with the help of a mate.

If it's just the canvas, I'd pay to get someone to do it. Fitting it frame attached is difficult enough. More so for all the fiddly adjustments you need to do. My new roof is on and watertight but I need to adjust it again. Annoying!!

Does anyone know if you can retro fit tensioner straps?

It's just the canvas.

It looks pretty straight forward from the links above (Thanks for the posts guys) I'm going to lay it out tomorow and she what it look like.

I'll be sure to use "blunt nose scissors" if i give it a go!! :mad:
