A zippered bolt rope strip is a great aid when setting up or tearing down a large canopy.

The bolt rope on the canopy roof can be made as a separate piece that unzips from the body of the roof.

First slide the narrow strip through the track then zip on the remainder of the roof and unroll onto the frame. During tear down you can lower the nose of the canopy onto the ground. With all the rafter pockets and pole straps released, you unzip the “Zip strip” and let the roof slide down the rafters.

If you have an optional “Tube storage bag” it can be laid out in the ground to accept the canopy roof. Just zip it and store it.
