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.
9. When rolling up awning, ensure there are no creases or folds in the fabric.
