My canopy got messed up in a wind storm and it broke a few frame ribs.

Remove and Matched Up Broken Frame Ribs

I bought 3 eight foot 5/8 x 11/2 trim boards and measured each rib.

Marking the Holes

I used the broken ribs to match,mark and drill out the wholes, I also rounded the edge of the board that goes into the top of frame. I used a belt sander but you can also use a hand sander.

I used grey primer paint which matched well

Attach the Ribs

I re-attached the ribs using original hardware.
