red rock sand
Anybody have any tips for getting sand off zp? It sticks like a magnet I used a damp towel and it seemed to work ok its got to be better than letting that stuff grind around.

I've had good luck with hanging the canopy nose down and fully spread, and then shaking the fabric back and forth. When I left a sandy canopy like that overnight with a fan blowing on the side of it (to create motion), I had little piles of sand sitting on the floor underneath it the next morning.

I second toms suggestion. Ive done a similar technique after moab trips and it seems to work well.

Inside or outside the canopy? I find a good 3 second delay slider-off opening will shake off just about anything. ;-)

I have also used a vacuum with one of the upholstery brushes (one of those with the paint-brush like brushes in a circle). It does not suck in fabric if the fabric is held tight.
