Slide on Wire Awning Care

Congratulations on your new awning! Your awning will give you years and years of shade if taken care of properly. Follow these basic rules to keep your awning functioning like new.

  1. Retract your awning when not in use.
  2. Retractable products are not meant for rainy or windy conditions. Be sure to keep your awning retracted under these conditions. Failure to do so can cause the fabric and hardware to deteriorate faster than normal. 
  3. It’s a good idea to be sure rainwater isn’t sitting in your awnings after a big rain, this can lead to mold forming on the canvas. Gently shake or push rainwater out of the awnings if it has collected.
  4. Your canvas can be cleaned just like any other awning canvas. See http://www.americanawningabc.com/blog/-awning-cleaning-care for more information. Don’t want to clean it yourself? Give us a call, we’ll be happy to clean it for you!
