A/C Cut-outs
Custom cut-outs can be added to the canopy’s skirts or roof-ends to accommodate any A/C or heating unit. These cut-outs can be built with roll-up covers for when the units are not installed.
Keder
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.)
Underlay
A second layer of fabric around the outer perimeter of a canopy roof. This additional layer reinforces the roof at critical stress areas which extends the life of the canopy. The canopy underlay is a standard feature on all Larsens, Inc. canopies.
Extension back
The backdrop of an extension that reaches from the roof to the valance. On a tapered extension, it is shaped like a triangle. On a straight back rafter extension, it is rectangular in shape.
Extension back skirts zip to the extension back.

An extension adds to the length of the canopy by extending past the trailer end(s). The two most common styles are tapered (standard) and straight back rafter. The tapered style has a diagonal rafter extending from the trailer to the outside corner. The straight back style follows the same slope as the main canopy.
Extensions can be added to the cab end (front) or lift gate end (rear).
