Along with the canopy hanger, an assembly and inspection  table is extremely useful.  [Figure 6-90]  It allows the  harness and container to be assembled to the canopy without  laying it on the floor. The assembly table allows the correct  distance from the floor to mate with the canopy and provides  an ideal storage area for the packing tools, wrenches,  other equipment, and materials needed for assembly.  [Figure 6-91]  This table can be a folding banquet table or  wheeled cart if space is limited. The work and layout tables are ideally 4 × 8 feet for optimum  space usage. Any canopy layout can be done on the packing  table. The work tables should be adjacent to the sewing  machines for minimum walking distance between them.  Many lofts have a small table along the walls against which  the sewing machines are placed. This allows storage of  materials and other items needed during the sewing operation.  Figure 6-87.
