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.
