Limitations of the fabrics
Watertightness - acrylic fabrics are not watertight. They contain microscopic,
porous holes where the threads cross. External impregnation applied on
acrylic and polyester materials creates a protective layer against dirt, water,
and oily substances. During rainfall water drops run down easily when the
canopy is sloped. Weather and mechanical conditions gradually reduce the
effectiveness
of
the
impregnation.
Rot resistance - the canopy fabrics are usually made of synthetic materials,
which do not contain any biodegradable substances. This, in turn, makes
them rot-proof. The accumulation of dirt and other naturally occurring
substances on the fabric surface, coupled with moisture, may create very
good conditions for fabric degradation. Folding of a damp fabric may have
an additional negative effect on the condition of the fabric and may cause
change in its color. It is important to let the fabric dry before folding it.
Creases – the cobweb effect: creases may form as a result of folding the
fabric, the "wrinkle" effect may, particularly when exposed to light, become
darker. This, however, does not affect the usability of the fabric and is not
