Canopy Dimensions
What size canopy do you need? Measure the length and width of your existing canopy in inches. Then, calculate the required square footage for the new play set canopy. To calculate square footage, use the following equation: length in inches x width in inches divided by 144. Knowing square footage is essential so that the manufacturer can produce a product that fits your play set exactly.Stock Canopy or Custom Canopy
Many commercially produced play sets use standard size canopies. For convenience, stock canopies are available in four industry standard sizes:- 38in x 79in
- 48in x 86in
- 58in x 94in
- 86in x 134in
Choosing a Material
Vinyl or canvas? The material that you choose depends on what features are most important to you in a play set canopy. Vinyl is heavy duty, resists mold and mildew, and will stand up to harsh weather. The vinyl should be marine grade, which offers superior strength and durability. Alternatively, a play set canopy can be purchased in canvas. High quality canvas, such as that produced by Sunbrella, repels water, resists mold and mildew, and creates a drier environment underneath. Sunbrella canvas canopies are available in many more colors than vinyl, and they do not fade or lose their color over time. Additionally, they offer more protection than vinyl canopies from ultraviolet rays. While the cost of a Sunbrella play set canopy is higher, so is the quality.Fasteners
How will you fasten the canopy to the play set structure? If you are purchasing a replacement canopy, make note of how the existing canopy is fastened. Is it attached using snaps? Grommets? These are the two most common fasteners used on play set canopies. The manufacturer should be able to provide you with either option. Be sure to measure the distance between each fastener on your existing structure so that the manufacturer can provide you with a canopy that has fasteners spaced at the same intervals. Purchasing a replacement play set canopy is not a difficult process, but it involves a bit more preparation than many homeowners realize. Once you know exactly what kind of replacement canopy you need — considering size, color, material, custom versus stock, and fasteners — you should feel confident that you will receive exactly the product that you require.
On 27 Mar I purchased 2 86 x 134 in tarps for a swingset canopy.
How far apart are the grommet holes? I will be attaching to the 86″ sides.
How big is the hole and what bolt or screw do you suggest using to attach to a 2×8?
Thanks.
Lee
Normally there is a grommet on each end in the corners and then the other grommets are equally placed between the corner grommets approximately 12 to 18 inches apart. The hole in the grommets are 3/8 inch and you can use a screw or lag bolt that the head is larger than 3/8 inch and the threaded part is smaller than 3/8 inch and the lengths of the screw or lag bolts should be no longer than 1 1/2 inches long.

I am looking for a replacement canopy for a rainbow playset that was given to me by a friend. When he gave it to me, he’d had it up almost ten years and has no canopy for me to measure. How woul dyou suggest I accurately measure for size?
Thnaks
Usually, most playset canopy tarps are rectangle shaped and to measure for us, you would measure from the screw holes or snaps in the corners for length and width and then add one inch to your length and width measurements, since we place the snaps or grommets 1/2 inch from the edge of the canopy.

I have a old swing set I got back in the 90s and it had a back to it and the small part on type around 70 x 27 not including the flaps is there a place I can order the top
Larry I just built a swing set, looking for a custom top. How would I measure? Do you need the square footage of the deck or do I need to take into count the pitch of the roof in the measurements? Thanks
I built a custom playset which includes framing to attach a cover like the ones you provide. Lot of mentions about measuring existing tarp for replacement not so much new. I’d imagine you need to know the height from the play deck surface as well as the width and length square ft.

hi, I am looking to buy the canopy tarp for my playset, its for MN weather (snow) which one will be the good choice vinyl or canvas. please let me know with both pros/cons and your recommendation. thanks
We normally recommend removing the swing set tarp in the winter months so that it is not exposed to the elements of the weather 365 days a year but if you are willing to spend the extra money the Sunbrella material may last you longer with proper installation.
My playset is an OLDY… It didn’t have wood going up & across. Ours originally had tarp attached 2 PVC like pipes I think, they slipped through on inside of tarp and arched over and set inside metal grommets. I think that’s what called. I can’t find anything anywhere. So I may need 2 attached 2×4’s going up and 1 across right? Or do you know where I can find canopy with pockets for PVC to slip into?
