Rib Attachment ProcedureStandard

Standard operating procedure for rib attachment.

Safety ProtocolStandard

Secure ribs before stretching fabric and ventilate when applying finishes.

  • Rib Tension

    Stretch canopy fabric evenly across ribs — uneven tension causes puckering when opened.

  • Mechanism Test

    Cycle the opening mechanism repeatedly before attaching fabric to catch binding early.

  • Ventilation

    Work with waterproofing solvents in a ventilated area — many finishes are respiratory irritants.

Safety Notes

  • Secure ribs before stretching fabric — sprung ribs can snap toward your face.
  • Apply waterproofing finishes outdoors or with ventilation — solvent fumes accumulate indoors.
