Saggy Canopy Fix.

[ExSurveyor]

The Shetland has a bit of a sag in the rear section that collects rainwater. The obvious fix is a pole prop but I didn't like that.

My solution cost nothing as I had the materials to hand.

1m of 15mm copper tube, 1m of solvent weld overflow pipe and two overflow tees.

Fit copper inside the overflow pipe, cut out part of the tees to hook over the canopy rails and glue to pipe.

Bend into a curve as required.

Works a treat and no pole in the way.

Another solution is to put pipe cladding foam round your poles

Tried that, it's still saggy and the missus keeps laughing at me

They are not talking about your dancing poles JA.

Ooops let the cat out of the bag haven't I.

As you know, I'm always suffering from a saggy canopy. I had a small swimming pool to deal with on Friday when I got there. I was disappointed not to see the Shetland, when is it due at the berth?

Bringing it up Tuesday Pm. hoping to move it nearer Whitey.

Finally finished all the work I never intend to do .

Bailey and Swan can supply adjustable telescopic poles with a mushroom head with Velcro attached to stop pole slipping. John
