This evening with Anne-Maries help I adjusted the rear hoop to fit the template that I had made last night. I was not wrong when I said the template fitted pretty well, one side better then the other, so as suggested I used the better side to adjust (bend) the hoop for the best fit I could get, which is not easy. Once this was done I slotted the metal supports on the canopy frame again as suggested so that the hoop will be able to slide into the frame far enough, this also allows you to adjust the height of the hoop to again fit the canopy. First part done, I'll tackle the front hoop tomorrow night.
Rear hoop supporting the canopy, I had to rub some of the talcum powder off so that it could be seen
