Good point on the pulling/pushing. Never thought of that. The canopy is going to be open top and open back, so there shouldn't be any flow restriction.
I understand the lever action of the gas shock will make 265 lbs not as bad as it sounds, but I still think it will be a lot for a 40ish lb canopy top...?
I'm thinking I'm going to rip my Degenbao fixture apart and use the "guts" to retrofit everything onto a piece of plywood, then the plywood will lift up and down with the shocks (or something). I might just skip the shocks, it won't be that heavy. I could put the fans right in the top of the plywood pushing air out. Then the actual canopy "wrap" will be removable from the front, just side it off like the AGA ones. That's the best idea I can come up with keeping ease of assembly in mind.
