![]() ![]() Once the top is attached, then you put the legs in and raise it. There is a picture on their website that shows how this looks. This is why I decided against a Lightdome, with its design of pulling over the top. With the Showoff and Trimline the vinyl top is pulled over and clipped on while the top frame is resting ON THE GROUND. The Trimline/Showoff design requires bending, kneeling, or squatting. Some other factors to consider, since you have not had this type of canopy before: The showoff has telescoping parts which means sections do not have to be fully disassembled before packing. If you are using ONLY hanging weights and they are heavy enough, you may not have any sway. That’s when I add the weights that hang from the corners, and that takes care of it. I believe the Showoff top sways more in the wind. I have 2 weight systems: one at 60lbs per leg, attached at the bottom (foot weights) and another I can add when it’s extra windy. I am always by myself and wanted something I could carry. That’s both a good thing and a bad thing. I have Sta-bars as well, in a different bag: I don't always use them. My Showoff weighs about 85 lbs in the bag. I think the biggest difference is the weight. Over the years(30+) I have set up next to just about every style of canopy there is, and observed what I thought were the advantages and disadvantages. I set mine up by myself with no difficulty. ![]()
