"Now, if you find that it really is very warm, we ask you never to remove the walls entirely. But what we can do is roll them up.
You'll see the laces here. Just undo this knot at the bottom and then all the way up and do those.
So, if you release the other side. So, this is a four meter panel. So, we're going to release this side the same as we just did with the lacing.
And then from the outside, you just need to unhook the bungees from these pegs. We just unhook those, the other one, and the guys are going to come back inside.
And then from the inside, you just roll it up from the bottom.
That's it. Another one on the inside. And then you simply just do a bow. And that'll hide under the valance. So, the tighter and the neater this roll is, the better it looks.
And you can do that all the way around just by releasing these panels.
As I say, please don't remove the walls entirely, but feel free to roll them up so it just looks like a floating canopy.
And then we'll just show you in reverse. Ever so quickly, this lacing here, so it goes through the back, through the eyelet. Then this one goes through the eyelet. And then you connect it through that one and pull down and just do that all the way."
Peacock and Bow's step-by-step guide to rolling up the wall panels of your pole and canvas marquee
Step one
In the bottom corner of the wall panel you will see a knot. Untie this and then undo the Dutch lacing all the way up the edge of the wall panel until you reach the top. Repeat at the other end of the panel.
Step two
On the outside of the marquee you'll see the wall panel is secured to the ground by two bungee cords and pegs. Unhook the bungee cords from the pegs.
Step three
From the inside or outside of the marquee, roll the panel up from the bottom to the top as neatly and tightly as possible. This step requires at least two people.
Step four
Under the valance you will see some pairs of ribbons, tie these in a bow to secure the rolled up wall panel under the valance.
Step five
To lower the wall panel, untie the ribbons and unroll to the floor
Step six
Do up the Dutch lacing, starting from the top, bring the first loop through the first eyelet, then bring the second loop through the second eyelet and thread it through the first loop. Continue until you reach the bottom.
Step seven
secure the bungee cords to the pegs on the outside of the marquee.
And that's how you can create a floating canopy look by rolling up the wall panels of your pole and canvas marquee. Let the good times roll!
