The 100% solution dyed canopy will last longer if you fold it as it was packed and
shipped. This technique is similar to the way a parachute is folded and is especially
important when folding the canopy for seasonal storage or when left in the closed
position for an extended period of time.
Using this technique at all times will significantly extend the life of the canopy.
1. When the canopy has been fully lowered, stand in front of the canopy structure
and begin the folding process by pulling out two panels opposite the mast.
Pull the two panels together and roll tight into the canopy.
2. Once rolled tight, pull adjacent panels out one at a time and fold to the center,
alternating sides until all the panels have been pulled out from the arms and folded
into the center.
3. Strap the canopy to the mast with the strap.

1. Hose frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty or industrial
environment.
2. Inspect the installation fitting on a regular basis and tighten if necessary.

1. Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean,
absorbent cloth.
2. For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil or wash
down with clean, warm water (i.e. garden hose) every so often so dirt does not
become engrained. Allow the fabric to dry naturally before closing the canopy.
3. If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap
solution (2% solution). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residue.
4. Never use detergents, cleaning fluids, or solvents. Grease and oil stains may be
removed by using turpentine or similar with an absorbent cloth.
5. We recommend giving the canopy a good clean on a more frequent basis if
installed in a location where the canopy is likely to become soiled.
