  • Ceiling. It is also one of the most popular types of holders that are used in nurseries. They allow you to use the largest canopy in length.

Bed attachment options are also called the most mobile, they are very popular with young parents. This can be explained by the fact that their attachment is carried out only on the bed. Neither the walls of the room, nor its ceiling will be used in this process, for this reason there will be no traces on them, which is especially important if you have recently completed the repair. Also, the positive side of this model is in its stunning lightness. It weighs almost nothing and at the same time quite easily fixed. True, there is such a device and a number of disadvantages. For starters, it is worth mentioning its mobility. If all the time to cling hands to this holder, then one day you can drop it completely.

An already grown up kid, obviously out of curiosity, will want to pull the holder towards himself. This act does not bear any particular danger if the holder is light, but his fall is undesirable.In addition, mobile holders do not carry any aesthetic load, as they are completely under the canopy.

Fixed devices are fixed on the ceiling or wall. If this device will have to be removed in order to strengthen it in another place, then after it there will be well visible marks on the surfaces, therefore this place will need to be decorated with something, which can be very expensive. Therefore, if the parents opted for wall or ceiling holders, the furniture is not rearranged for a long time in the room of the crumbs until the child grows up and wants change himself.

The positive features of stationary products are that they are the most reliable. They can easily be well strengthened on the surface. On their basis, almost real decorations can be built from the shed. The shape of the cape will be perfectly preserved. A stationary device is almost impossible to shake, even if the child himself wants to do it.

In children's stores, you can choose and purchase universal holders in the form of brackets. A holder called “Karapuz” will help you to hang a small canopy anywhere,which one you choose. Thanks to the versatility of the mounting, it can be placed both at the side of the crib and at its headboard. This device has optimum parameters and is mounted to cots of any configuration. This kind of device perfectly fit on a round or square bed.

The support is absolutely reliable and differs in the increased durability because it is let out from high-quality materials. With the help of this holder, you can easily and quickly hang a stylish canopy over the bed of a little man and thereby protect him from insects, dust, and dangerous drafts when airing the room. The holder called "Chamomile" is installed on the back of the bed of the baby. The height of the device can be easily adjusted. The holder is suitable for all models and beds themselves, and capes. After mounting the holder, the product will be able to protect the baby from various unpleasant factors and give the room a special touch of charm.

  • rectangular (with bracket U-shaped or L-shaped).

It is difficult to answer the question which of these types is the most preferable, because they are all quite popular and are used in various interiors for organizing a comfortable bed. Holders for the canopy are made primarily of aluminum - it is an extremely light and inexpensive material that perfectly fulfills all the functions assigned to it, but often in stores there are also holders made of plastic. Holders made of plastic and aluminum - the choice for children's beds, but if you want to arrange a canopy over the matrimonial bed, then it is better to choose a stronger material for this purpose.

Assembly and installation

First you need to choose a place for mounting a strong tripod. It is selected based on the location of the bed relative to the wall. Next, you should choose a way to mount a canopy to a tripod (with a solid or disengaging ring).

  • In the first version, the canopy will be attached to the tripod thanks to special velcro and ribbon, and the fastener itself can be hidden behind the ruffles.
  • Option with a ring separable. The bar of the ringlet should be passed through a special sleeve provided in the canopy. From the tripod will need to remove the loop, then dissolve its edge. They are drawn into the sleeve, and so the material is attached to the loop, forming beautiful folds. The edges of the hinge, which are left outside, are connected to each other by a rubber band and are lowered into a tripod.

Next is the fastener of all parts of the base and its accurate correction. The entire installation is mounted on the headboard with special screws. The screws hide under the decorative plugs. Be sure to check the resulting device, how strong it is, so that the product does not suddenly fall on the sleeper, if he accidentally touches the edge of the curtain in his sleep with his hand. One of the most interesting options for mounting a canopy is the use of forged products that are attached to the wall.
