Does the canvas stay on or do you snap it around when you open the top?

And did you get canvas to fit the TD? Or did you build the TD to fit the canvas?

No, The canvas isn't actually canvas it was a prefab canopy from dicks sporting goods made by a company called tailgate gear(6X18'). my parents helped me with the sewing and cutting the pattern. Unfortunately the tent does have to be removed to close the top. takes about 10 minutes to set up. Thanks for all the nice comments. Here are some more pics of the interior. still needs some work however running out of dough. I took it camping this weekend so got to use it once now. I think I am going to sell to try to do a new and improved version.
