FOLDING THE CANOPY
TO PUT IT IN THE
BAG
There are several different types
of bags used by various harness
and container manufacturers.
Performance Designs, Inc.
recommends three different
folding techniques to prepare
the canopy for placement in
these bags.
If the rig manufacturer
specified a different method
of organizing the canopy
before placing it in the bag,
follow their instructions.
However, you must make
sure that
the rig
manufacturer’s instructions
are valid and proper
for this
canopy.
1. For one and two pin
containers with closing loops on
a vertical center line of the
container:
A) Fold the bottom of the folded
reserve back and on top of itself
making approximately a 6-inch
S- fold. (top illustration).
B)
Kneeling on this fold,
carefully part the top half of the
canopy
into two halves.
Starting from bottom to top and
using a kneading motion, mold
the halves into two
equal ears.
