Has anyone come up with a better way to fit the canopy than the use of the plywood template as shown in 6-C-3A of the assembly manual?

Gig,



I roughly followed the recommended procedure, but I used some of the heavy corrugated cardboard from the ZAC packing crates.  It was stiff enough to do the job, and much easier to handle than plywood.  It was easy to cut with a box cutter instead of a jig saw.  Changes can be made easily just by moving down on the template (probably less than an inch) and re-cutting.  That can be done several times before you run out of enough depth. 



I was dreading the fitting, too, but this made it relatively painless.
