A canopy (10) comprising a hub (16) from which extend a plurality of ribs (18), and sheet material (20) which is supported by the ribs (18) when the canopy (10) is in use. The sheet material (20) has an aperture (54) over the hub (16) and is clamped by a cap (22) also over the hub (16) with edges (52) of the sheet material (20) which define the aperture (54) being sandwiched between the cap (22) and the hub (16). A fixing device (71) extends from the cap (22), through the aperture (54), to the hub (16). Yieldable material (60) has portions (62, 64) extending on both sides of the sheet material (20) at the said edges (52) thereof. The said fixing device (71) extends through the yieldable material (60) so that the said edges (52) of the sheet material (20) are sandwiched between the said portions (62, 64) and so that the said portions (62, 64) are also sandwiched between the cap (22) and the hub (16), and are squashed therebetween by means of the fixing device (71) when the canopy (10) is in use to form a seal that inhibits ingress of water from an intended outside of the canopy (10) to an intended inside thereof. |
