damaged over time but can be repaired and resealed by using seam sealer. For the bestresults, we recommend contacting your
dealer to find out which products to use.
UV Degradation
UV degradation causes the material to go brittle, fade or change color. The time it takes to do this
will differ depending upon how often you use it and what the weather is like when you do. It is a natural process which affects
all materials used outdoors. This awning is coated to help prevent this process, but it does not stop it, it only helps slow it down.
You can help protect against this degradation by regular care and proofing of the awning. The awning should be regularly clea-
ned and re-proofed to ensure that mold and mildew do not build up and damage the awning. After cleaning your awning, you
should always reproof the awning as cleaning the awning will damage the UV coating on the material. For the best results, we
recommend contacting your dealer to find out which products to use. Weathering due to excessive UV degradation is not cove-
red by the warranty.
Condensation
All coated, non-breathing materials suffer from condensation. The amount of condensation depends
upon the weather conditions and the environment (such as wet ground etc.). During condensation, water can collect on the fabric
of the awning. If enough condensation forms this can run down the awning and drip off seams or any other stitching point. It can
be lessened by ventilation. Ventilating your awning allows air to flow though the awning and lessens the buildup of condensation.
Condensation is often mistaken for leaking and is not a reason for complaint or a fault of the awning.
Usage
This awning is designed for private and non-commercial use. This awning is not for permanent or for seasonal site
use. The warranty does not cover this. In case of storms or snowfall, the awning must be taken down to avoid damage.
Storage and cleaning
you must unpack it within a week and allow it to dry out before packing it away. This is to ensure that mold and mildew do not
build up as this can lead to damage on your awning and is not covered under your warranty. To clean this awning, we recom-
mend using a specific tent or awning cleaner or just water and a soft cleaning cloth. Heavy soiling should be allowed to dry and
brushed with a soft brush beforehand. After cleaning your awning, you should always reproof it as the UV coating on your aw-
ning could be damaged during cleaning. For the best results, we recommend contacting your dealer to find out which products
to use.
