Pole storage bags

jbutler — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:31:02 +0000

Pole bags are a convenient way to organize your frame poles and foot bases for safe keeping. They are not, however, intended to store frame rafters.

These bags are made of heavy duty vinyl with double layer reinforced ends, lengthwise zippers and handles on the ends. Standard sizes range from 10″ diameter x 104″ long up to 19″ diameter x 180″ long. Custom sizes are also available.

Continuous verses Individual Half Height skirts

jbutler — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:08:29 +0000

Half height skirts provide a perimeter barrier while allowing visibility into and out of the canopy. These skirts are available in two versions. Continuous and individual.

Continuous half skirts travel across the vertical support poles. The skirts are joined by zippers at the poles. The “Gary Fisher” skirt in the photo is a continuous skirt.

Individual half skirts hang from the 1/2 height horizontal poles between the vertical support poles. The “Saab” skirt in the photo is an individual skirt.

NHRA style canopy

jbutler — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:21:30 +0000

The NHRA style canopy is another term for “cantilevered” or “suspended”. The canopy is supported entirely by the trailer with no vertical poles. These are very popular with drag race teams since they allow access for tall & long dragsters. They are also popular with boat racers and vendors.

The outer eave is typically higher (96″) than a standard canopy (86″) and the projection is restricted to a maximum of 15 feet.

Length

The canopy length is the measurement along the trailer. Typically the length at the outer eave (away from the trailer) is the same as the length at the trailer.

Foot base – adjustable

jbutler — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:47:52 +0000

Vertical support poles are fitted with adjustable foot bases. The multiple adjustments help level the canopy on uneven surfaces.

Spring poles (attached to each end of the trailer) adjust automatically depending on the weight of the trailer.

Keder

jbutler — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:37:19 +0000

The official name is “boltrope” and some refer to it as the “bead”. It is located along the top edge of the canopy roof and fed into the “C” track along the roof line of the trailer. On a standard setup, the boltrope is sewn to the canopy. For ease of installation, it can be made as a separate piece that zips to the main body of the roof. (See Zippered Boltrope Strip.)

Jack rafter

jbutler — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:26:46 +0000

A short rafter that runs from the outer eave to the diagonal rafter on a tapered extension. It is designed to add rigidity to the canopy frame.
