A canopy cut to the frame you already own

A gazebo canopy is almost always a replacement. The factory canvas that comes with a big-box gazebo is thin polyester, chain-stitched, and it cracks in the sun or tears in the wind within two or three summers. I make a custom gazebo canopy cut to the exact dimensions of your frame, square, rectangular or hexagonal, instead of a standard size that sags on one side and pulls at the seams on the other. The result solves what the factory canopy was supposed to solve: the midday sun beating straight down, light rain coming through fabric too thin to stop it, and pine needles collecting in a corner that never sat quite tight.

I come to measure your gazebo in person, because a frame shifts after a winter or two: a post leans a centimetre, a corner settles a little, and a canopy cut from a plan rather than the real structure always ends up pulling to one side. We choose the fabric together, from my water-repellent, UV-treated options, in a shade that suits your deck rather than the three colours a store happens to stock. The quote follows within 48 hours of the visit, and the piece is made at the Sherbrooke atelier in one to three weeks, depending on the frame's complexity and the fabric on hand.

My atelier runs single-needle machines, built for light, sturdy fabric, not heavy marine canvas or PVC-coated tarp. That means I do not make the large tensioned sails that span a whole yard or a pool deck: those need tensioning equipment I do not have at the shop. What I do well is the canopy that sits on a residential gazebo frame, whatever its shape or size. I do not supply the frame or the gazebo's hardware, only the fabric cut for what you already have. Bring me your measurements, or let me take them at your place, and we start from there.

A frame that already exists deserves a canopy cut for it.
