Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The awning is designed for easy setup. Ensure all frame poles are securely connected and the canopy is stretched taut over the frame. It is recommended to have two people for assembly to ensure even tension and stability. Secure the awning to the ground using appropriate weights or stakes (not included) if required by your setup location.
Compatibility: This awning is a standalone structure and does not require special compatibility with other equipment. It is best suited for flat, stable ground.
Care: Wipe the polyester canopy with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or dust. Allow the canopy to dry completely before storing to prevent mildew. Store the awning in a dry place when not in use, especially during off-seasons or when bad weather is anticipated. Do not store while damp. Ensure the steel frame is clean and dry to prevent rust.
