How to put a canopy on the holder?

It is possible to make the bedroom more comfortable, and the bed - protected from the penetration of the sun's rays, with the help of a canopy. This design has a truly fabulous appearance, so with it the interior of the nursery acquires a special charm. The canopy can be installed above the crib on your own, but you must follow the instructions for this. Today we will learn how to properly put a similar product on the holder.

Before considering in detail how to fix the canopy, you need to answer the main question: what is such an element as a holder. The design of this part is made up of a sealed or disconnecting ring of metal or aluminum alloy, as well as a tripod and fasteners.

In many cases, parents refuse to install a canopy over a baby cot, considering this element as a “useless dust collector”. In fact, the canopy is a very useful and functional design that helps the child sleep in the most comfortable environment.

Due to its structure, the canopy perfectly protects a children's bed from the penetration of annoying sunlight that interferes with sleep. In addition, such products are usually equipped with long and dense canopies, which can provide good protection against drafts.

Using a quality canopy, it will be possible to protect a small user from the "attack" of flying insects, for example, mosquitoes. If the house has pets, then you can not do without a canopy. This design will prevent the ingress of wool in the crib.

When the cot is a single unit with neat light curtains, their edges in most cases are attached using a special tripod mounted type. This simple structure can be installed in different ways.

Here are the most popular ones:

• at the head of the bed;
• on the side of the arena;
• to the ceiling;
• on the perimeter of the arena.

The canopy can be attached to the ceiling. At the same time the special arm from metal is used. Such a process takes a lot of time, but it is as reliable as possible.

Holders are also permissible to fix on the perimeter of the arena. In such conditions, the canopy will perfectly protect the crib, which at the same time will acquire a more lush and elegant look. However, with such a decision, the playpen will have too many supporting parts that the child may fall over time.

There are several types of holders for a canopy. Depending on the chosen method of installation of this design, one or another option is chosen.

• Beds Such holders are intended for installation on the crib itself. Most often they come complete with the furniture itself. Such parts are fastened the easiest.
• Wall mounted. Using wall elements, it will turn out to build a canopy of almost any length.
• Outdoor. These structures are installed on the floor. If needed, they are dismantled without any problems and moved to another place along with the playpen.
• Ceiling. These types of holders are stationary. Using the ceiling holder, it is permissible to install canopies of any length and modification.

As mentioned earlier, the holder is assembled from a tripod, ring and fasteners. It is permissible to install canopies in different ways depending on the structure of the loop. If it is solid and not detached, then the woven canopy material is attached using special ribbons or stickies. If the specified parts do not fit initially with the product, then it is quite possible to sew it with your own hands. The loop of the holder is often supplemented with spectacular lambrequins or bows.

If the composition of the product provides for the possibility of removing the loop from the tripod,as well as the separation of its ends, the upper part of the textile, on which special pockets must be present, is stretched over the looped antennae. The formed structure is attached to the screws to the side of the arena, and then the fixing places are masked with the help of plugs.

Before proceeding to the assembly of the canopy, you need to prepare the tripod hardware at the desired location. Usually a tripod is a straight tube of aluminum, having a curved section in the upper part. At the end of this part is equipped with the previously mentioned loop, which will be needed to secure the edge sections of the canopy.

First, select the specific side of the crib on which the holder's fasteners will be located. As mentioned earlier, if you put the canopy frame on the headboard of children's furniture, the protection will be weak, and the legs will remain open. It is advisable to put these structures on the side of the arena - thus, textiles will be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the bed.

Next, you can proceed to putting on the canopy on the holder. The sewn product must be equipped with special pockets designed for the antennae of the loop of aluminum. As a rule, there are two such details, and between them there is a small open gap. Gently pulling the material of the canopy on a looped mustache, you will form neat waves.

After that, the design is fixed on the holder using a screw. It will need to tighten. If everything is done according to the instructions, then the curtains will look beautiful on the arena and perform all their functions.

There is another method of fixation - to the ceiling. This decision will be relevant if you are sure that the bed will be located in its place and will not move for at least a year. This mounting option is recognized as the most reliable and durable, as the bolts will not be subjected to regular external influences, which cannot be avoided if the fasteners are located in the inner part of the furniture.

First you need to decide on a specific place in which the canopy will be fixed.

Try to ensure unhindered access to this site:

• make a mark on the ceiling to indicate the intended place where there will be a kind of eaves (a strip of metal);
• attach the holder to the ceiling using self-tapping screws;
• tie the curtains to the eaves with ribbons or velcro;
• after that, the metal cornice will be possible to decorate with various decorations, for example, spectacular bows.

Of course, this version of the canopy should be much longer than the standard product, which is attached to the bed itself. Curtains installed in accordance with the instructions will perfectly protect the baby from all sorts of external stimuli. However, we must not forget that this type of installation takes a lot of free time.

If you decide to install the canopy over the bed, then You should take into account some useful tips from professionals that will allow you to avoid many incidents and mistakes in the process of work.

• At the end of the installation of the canopy, it should be properly straightened so that it gently falls around the crib and does not hesitate.

It is necessary to follow this rule so that the child is as comfortable and comfortable as possible under the shelter.
