Put the canopy to bed

To keep the canopy from having to sit on its own side skirts when it's not on the airplane, I threw together this very simple storage rack out of scrap lumber:

To capture the rollers, I knocked a 1" hole in a chunk of scrap 2×2 with a spade bit, then cut it half to make these little cup thingies. A wood screw from beneath holds each one in place.

In the back, the rear pins rest on wood blocks that are screwed to the bottom piece:

I carried the canopy upstairs and stored it carefully on its rack, on the guest bed. The exterior handle in the back makes it a snap to carry the canopy around solo – I think you'd need a helper if you didn't have the handle to grab.

And now I have a canopy bed again! I swear, that joke never gets old.
