I am considering buying a Sta Bar set. However, I normally use foot weights for my Show-Off canopy. They are white buckets filled with cement. A bolt runs through the cement, and then a hole in the foot goes over the bolt. The foot is then secured in pace with a wingnut.  So the actual feet of the canopy are raised up about 8 inches. I assemble the canopy, raise it to full height, then pick up each leg one at a time and slide the foot hole over the bolt and secure it.

I don’t know how Sta-Bars are attached to the legs.  Can they be attached after raising the feet one at a time as I described? If they have to be put on at the beginning, then I would guess the canopy would not flex enough to allow that.

Or do they expand into a socket or something?

Another question: I normally sit behind the canopy, and go in and out constantly to get to stock. This means I could not use a rear Sta-Bar, only sides.

Can they be attached only at night? Once the canopy is fully set up, and racks are hanging from it, I can no longer lift the feet.

Thanks for your help.
