<font color="red"> Experimentation is fine and commendable! But, when you already know the results, and they range from bad through very bad to horrible, it is time to experiment with something else!!

I still go out and grab my electric fence just for kicks. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

<font color="red"> That's shocking!! Do you have masochistic tendencies, or just an extremely bad memory?? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif </font>

Not sure... I just like the tingle. (actually, it doesn't hurt until you kick off your shoe and stand barefoot in the grass. You only do that once).

You will never swear again!!



I doubt that!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I used that for a while, and it did a good job, but eventually fell off or got rubbed off by branches. By then I duck automatically.

Hey, Bob, I have the same thing happen all the time with my factory edging on our canopy. Especially the rear corners. They get popped off all the time. Maybe because it is just pressed on. Perhaps some silicone caulk before installing the pipe insulation that Fourteen mentions would keep it in place for the season. If we hit branches or sticks, it may just shred or tear instead of popping off the entire strip. It could be replaced each season, or in sections as needed pretty econmically.

The kind I get from Home Depot is already split, with tape that peels to uncover the adhesive that sticks to both sides of the canopy edge. I have to replace about once per year after shredding against some obstacle or other.

I think the foam is an excellent solution. Like you say cheap, effective and easy to install. I have just been too lazy to put more back on. The caulking sounds like a good idea. I also have the factory stuff come loose and so far I just tuck it back in place.
