Now THAT is a retractable canopy! Wow! Genius use of harnessing and hooks! Also this project is a perfect way to hide a F-22 from pesky unfriendly sats above. Just saying. :)

I wonder could you apply this to a clear tarpaulin cover. We live in a very windy area and our previous polycarbonate roof simply snapped, I think sonething retractible might be a better option. Primarily is for providing a waterproof area, we get so little sun, really dont want to block it 😂
