1. Never store your awning away damp. Should mildew spots appear, brush them off before
they become attached. Mildew damage of any kind is not covered by our warranty. DO
NOT use excess force or other harsh tools to remove soilage from your awning.
2. Like all assets, polycotton canvas awnings require regular care and attention to give
the life and service expected. Regular cleaning with an abundance of clean water and a
soft brush, especially after exposure to salt water will preserve your awning’s life. Do
not allow bird droppings, earth or vegetable matter to remain in contact with the fabric.
NEVER USE SOAPS OR DETERGENTS.
3. Polycotton canvas is not fire proof, if exposed to flame or high heat sources it can
ignite and burn. Always take care when using spirit or gas appliances such as stoves
and lanterns near your awning.
4. Some products contain chemicals, which can destroy your awnings proofing and cause
it to leak. Avoid using aerosol sprays and keep petrol, oil, solvents and other similar
fluids away from the fabric. Do not use these inside or around your awning as any
damage caused by these is not covered by our warranty.
5. Always remember that your awning is made from cloth, and should not be compared
with a house. It is waterproof under normal conditions but in severe weather conditions
some water may penetrate. If you apply water proofing to your awning check that you
are applying the right one for your awning’s polycotton canvas type.
6. Extra pegs and ropes are recommended in stormy conditions. Please note, wind
damage is not covered by our warranty. Check and adjust guy ropes and pegs daily.
7. Awning fabrics are not 100% colourfast and some fading will occur naturally, however;
this does not affect the performance of the fabric. Do not leave your awning up and
unattended for extended periods of time. Awnings are not designed as permanent
dwellings. Awnings are guaranteed for normal camping use only.
8. Check all fixtures regularly and tighten when necessary.
