OWNER'S MANUAL
™

Thank you for purchasing a Basta Boatlifts Solø™ Canopy. We feel you have made a wise
choice and hope that you always remain completely satisfied with its beauty and durability.
Please take a moment and read through this entire manual before beginning assembly.
There are many parts that look similar but are different lengths, including hardware. Lay out the
parts prior to assembly with identical items grouped together.
Make sure that all pieces are assembled in the proper sequence or complications may result.
Be certain you know exactly what's going to happen during each step. There are large parts
and therefore we emphasize CAUTION should be exercised to ensure your safety at all times.
The canopy must be assembled on a day when the weather is calm and dry. We recommend
that you hire a professional or have help when assembling your canopy.
THANK YOU

You will find the following tools helpful in the assembly of your Basta Boatlifts Solø™ canopy:
7/16” combination end wrench
1/2” combination end wrench
9/16” combination end wrench
3/4” combination end wrench
3/16” allen wrench
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
GENERAL NOTES
1. Refer to pages 5 through 9 to identify the canopy parts. The various similar looking rafters
and rails can quickly be identified with a tape measure.
2. For best results the canopy should be assembled on a reasonably level surface.
3. Before starting assembly, lay out components in their approximate positions.
4. The lacing rails and rafters are always installed with the grooved face up.
5. Over-tightening the fasteners may bend or distort the aluminum parts.
6. After completing the assembly of the canopy frame and before installing the canvas, go back
and recheck each of the fasteners for tightness. A few days later, check the fasteners again.
7. After any period of high wind, check the fasteners for tightness, especially the bolts that
tension the leg clips. Check the canvas for any rips or loose lacing.

2. Install the inner legs with the end with two holes
facing up. The carriage bolt heads slide in the slots.
3. Install 1/2 x 1 1/4" hex head set screws into the
nuts welded on the outer legs. Tighten until they
are flush with the inner surface of the leg.
4. Orient the canopy legs with the slot in the inner

SPECIAL NOTES FOR Solø™ 30, 33 & 39 CANOPY FRAMES
1. These Solø™ canopies add a center extension section to a Solø™ 26 canopy.
2. The center section pieces are added in as the side rail and ridge rail assemblies are built. The
same splice plates and rafter clips are used to connect the additional pieces.
3. The pair of ridge rafter clips near the center of the canopy that do not connect any ridge rails
together are allowed to 'float' in the ridge rail dovetail slots without being bolted to the rails. Note
that the floating rafter clips will not be positioned at the exact center of the canopy.
15
END RAIL ASSEMBLY
The "end" rail assemblies are identical. The rails
themselves are symmetrical, so there is no need
to orient them in any particular direction before
starting assembly.
1. Slide four Bungee Clips and a Medium Rafter Clip
into each rail dovetail and space them evenly as
shown below.
2. Slip an 'end' lacing rail with grooves facing up
into the clips installed in Step 1 and center it.
Repeat for the other end rail.
3. Slide the four 'corner' Splice Plates into the
dovetails as shown at left and secure them with
one flat head bolt and flange nut each. Note that
they must be oriented as shown at left.

on page 25. Attach the canopy leg clips and
legs to the canopy side rails in the desired
location. Extend them down to the lakebed.
Use a level on the legs to determine plumb
and position the foot pad. Raise or remove the
canopy leg, stake the foot pad in position, then
over-sleeve the foot pad leg with the canopy
leg. Secure all fasteners.

shown below.
3. Slide the Center Rafter Clips into the inner dovetail slots and the straight splice plates into the
outer dovetail slots of a left and a right side rail as shown. Secure with two screws and nuts each.
4. Mate each pair of side rails as shown. Secure with two more screws and nuts each.
1. Longer canopies have three piece side rails instead of two piece. They are similarly assembled.
2. The side lacing rails may have a hole that is offset from the center. The red bars in the

RIDGE RAIL ASSEMBLY
1. Slide two Rafter Clips into the dovetail slots of one of the ridge rails as shown in the drawing
above. Fasten them to the ridge rail with two nuts and bolts.
2. Line up the other ridge rail and slide it on to the Rafter Clips just installed. Fasten the assembly
together with two more nuts and bolts. There is no preferred direction for the bolts.
3. Install the Rafter Clips on the ends of the ridge rails as shown above. Note that the bolts are
installed in the two center holes of the clips.

CORNER ASSEMBLY
1. Position one of the completed end rail
assemblies so that the free ends of its Splice
Plates can be inserted into the outer dovetail
slots of the assembled side rails.
2. Install a bolt through the end rail and Splice
Plate into the threaded portion of the Corner
Rafter Clip (shown at left - Bolt A). Be careful to
avoid cross threading - starting with a small gap
between the end and side rails will allow you to
see and more easily align the bolt to the Corner
Rafter Clip.
3. Insert a bolt in the unfilled bottom hole of the
Splice Plate through the side rail and Rafter
Clip (shown at left - Bolt B). Secure it with a nut
as shown at lower left. Note that the upper hole
is not used.
4. Repeat for the other three corners.
5. Position a corner rafter as shown at left. Its
grooved face should be facing up. Adjust the
side lacing rail position as necessary to allow
the rafter fixing bolt to be inserted. The bolt
should go through the hole in the Rafter Clip
and the hole at the end of the lacing rail. Install
the nut on the bolt finger tight.
6. The rafter may be swung down against the
side rail.
7. Repeat for the other three corner rafters.

RIDGE RAIL ASSEMBLY
1. Slide two Rafter Clips into the dovetail slots of one of the ridge rails as shown in the drawing
above. Fasten them to the ridge rail with two nuts and bolts.
2. Line up the other ridge rail and slide it on to the Rafter Clips just installed. Fasten the assembly
together with two more nuts and bolts. There is no preferred direction for the bolts.
3. Install the Rafter Clips on the ends of the ridge rails as shown above. Note that the bolts are
installed in the two center holes of the clips.

CORNER ASSEMBLY
1. Position one of the completed end rail
assemblies so that the free ends of its Splice
Plates can be inserted into the outer dovetail
slots of the assembled side rails.
2. Install a bolt through the end rail and Splice
Plate into the threaded portion of the Corner
Rafter Clip (shown at left - Bolt A). Be careful to
avoid cross threading - starting with a small gap
between the end and side rails will allow you to
see and more easily align the bolt to the Corner
Rafter Clip.
3. Insert a bolt in the unfilled bottom hole of the
Splice Plate through the side rail and Rafter
Clip (shown at left - Bolt B). Secure it with a nut
as shown at lower left. Note that the upper hole
is not used.
4. Repeat for the other three corners.
5. Position a corner rafter as shown at left. Its
grooved face should be facing up. Adjust the
side lacing rail position as necessary to allow
the rafter fixing bolt to be inserted. The bolt
should go through the hole in the Rafter Clip
and the hole at the end of the lacing rail. Install
the nut on the bolt finger tight.
6. The rafter may be swung down against the
side rail.
7. Repeat for the other three corner rafters.

SIDE RAFTER ASSEMBLY
SIDE RAFTER ASSEMBLY
1. Start adding in the vertical side rafters in pairs using mostly
5/16 x 4” bolts - the bolts that also secure the Rafter Straps
are longer: 5/16 x 4 1/2”. All of the rafters are installed with
their grooved faces facing up.
2.The rafters in each pair are held apart by spacer tubes and
washers placed over the inner three bolts. The washers are
important because they prevent the spacers from damaging
the rafters when tightened. The rafter pairs form trusses that
increase the strength of the canopy.
3. Each pair of rafters has a Rafter Strap attached. The Rafter
Straps are used to resist the tendency of the side rails to bow
outward when installed on the lift. Install them as shown at left.
Tighten the RafterSstrap carriage bolts finger tight.
