Troubleshooting
Awning is difficult to pitch.
Ensure all poles are correctly assembled and inserted into the corresponding sleeves. Check that the flysheet is oriented correctly and not twisted.
Water is leaking through seams.
Verify that all seams are properly sealed. For minor leaks, seam sealant can be applied. Ensure guylines are taut to maintain proper tension and water runoff.
Ground cloth is not fitting correctly.
Ensure the ground cloth is the correct way around and fully extended before attempting to attach it. It may need to be pegged down securely on all sides.
Zippers are stiff or sticking.
Gently pull the zipper while applying a small amount of silicone lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
