Some Do’s:
DO
• Keep your canopy clean.
This is
the best protection against
mildew.
Even on mildew resistant
fabric mildew can grow on
accumulated dirt or foreign materials
which remain on the top or bottom
surface and eventually damage or
stain the fabric.
We cannot be
responsible for such damage.
• Wash down your canopy; brushing
lightly with a cloth or soft brush.
• Hose your canopy down
occasionally (every month) with a
garden hose. We recommend doing
this on a hot, sunny day.
• Keep the underside of your canopy
clean by simply brushing with a
clean household broom. The
underside can be washed in the
same manner as the top.
• Keep shrubbery and vines away
from the canopy, as many bushes
contain acid which can be harmful.
Some Don’ts:
DO NOT
• Fold or roll in extreme cold
temperatures.
• Drag your canopy across any
abrasive surfaces, such as a cement
drive.
• Get insect spray on the fabric, as
some solutions may impair the
water repellency of the fabric and
cause staining.
• Allow water to stand on the
canopy, causing pocketing and
possible stretching.
• Wash your canopy with a harsh or
strong solution, or scrub too
vigorously with an abrasive cleaner.
• Force or yank your canopy when
raising or lowering it. Do it
gradually.
• Charcoal grill underneath the
canopy.
• Store the canopy when damp or
wet. Mildew is a fabric’s greatest
enemy and is caused by dampness.
Mildew may grow on the surface
of a damp canopy and
permanently stain the fabric.
• Permit leaves, twigs, etc. to remain
on your canopy as they might
cause a staining of the fabric.
• Wrap steel or aluminum hardware
with the canopy.
Canopy
Heavy rain can damage both the canopy fabric and the poles if it is allowed to “pocket”
on the fabric. It is very important to have the correct slope in the canopy. The side of the
canopy at the twist poles should be about 19" (48 cm) lower than the side that attached
to the awning rail on the roof. If heavy rain is anticipated, lower one side to allow
adequate run off.
The canopy is to be removed for winter storage due to winter condensation accumulation.
ALWAYS roll up your canopy dry. Should you ever need to roll up canopy when it is
wet, unroll within 24 hours and allow to dry. Mildew will develop on damp and wet
canopies.
Be sure to follow the list of Do’s and Don’ts below when caring for your canopy.
