To install on a converted-crib toddler bed, simply use heavy-duty zip ties to secure the frame of the canopy to the frame of the crib.

Thread three zip ties through the buttonholes on one end. Position the canopy over the bed, and loosely secure the ties (enough to allow some adjustment).

thread three more zip ties through the buttonholes on the opposite end. Curve the canopy into position, and again loosely secure to the bed frame.

Adjust the position of the canopy so that the canopy is resting outside the top rail of the crib on both ends, and tighten the zip ties as much as possible.

Trim the ends of the zip ties to a safe curve, do not just snip off to a hard corner or sharp edge.

Finally, pull each corner tie around each corner post of the crib bed and tie off below the top bar.

The canopy is installed.
