In June, a customer contacted us expressing interest in our Timyrimy trade-in program for the GT Wicker Swing LARGE. They mentioned purchasing this porch swing from Lowe’s back in May 2017. Currently, they need a replacement canopy screw due to damage. Although the canopy frame connector shows some wear, it remains functional.
If you own a GCS00229C GT Wicker Swing LARGE and the original replacement parts are no longer available, compatible aftermarket options are still accessible. Garden Winds offers a replacement canopy, while Timyrimy provides a durable plastic canopy/frame connector.

Product Tips
The GCS00229C large has a roof frame that measures 77”L x 46”W. Lowe’s sold two versions of this swing, and distinguishing between them is simple. If you carefully inspect the side canopy brace, you’ll notice that the vertical support bar is either round-shaped or rectangular-shaped. This distinction will help you identify which version of the swing you have and ensure compatibility with replacement parts.

Replacement Canopy/Frame Connector
Unfortunately, Lowe’s doesn’t carry the original manufacturer’s connector, but here at Timyrimy, we’ve developed a fully compatible replacement.
Our plastic canopy/frame connector is a great solution for those whose side canopy brace features a round-shaped vertical support bar. This part is made from upgraded nylon plastic, which is more durable than the original.
Product Tips
If your swing has a rectangular-shaped vertical support bar (as opposed to the round-shaped one), we’re offering a trade-in program. If you’re eligible, you can send us your original canopy connector in exchange for a brand-new one. To learn more, email us at info@timyrimy.com with the subject line “Attention: Pedro Trade-in.”
Replacement Canopy Screw
Finding the exact canopy screw can be tricky, as Lowe’s doesn’t carry the original. That’s why we designed a replacement that’s even better:
Timyrimy Replacement Canopy Screw Features
- Material: Upgraded from iron to 304 stainless steel for rust resistance.
- Hand-Twist Part: Made from durable Nylon plastic for easier handling.
- Exact Fit: Matches the original specifications of 63mm length and 1.25 thread pitch.
Comparing the Original and Timyrimy Canopy Frame Connectors
When choosing replacement parts for your swing, it’s important to understand the differences between the original and aftermarket options. Let’s take a look at how the original and Timyrimy canopy frame connectors compare.
Original Canopy Frame Connector
The original frame connector for the GCS00229C swing was designed for basic functionality. While it fits well, it may wear out over time, especially with heavy use or exposure to the elements.
Timyrimy Canopy Frame Connector
We’ve taken the original design and improved upon it:
- Enhanced Material: Nylon plastic for improved weather resistance and longevity.
- Precision Fit: Fully compatible with the GCS00229C swing.
- Customer Feedback: Homeowners love the added durability and ease of installation.
