Tips to keep your awning in shape
Awning turns out to be one of the most important accessions for any caravanner to possess. Not only it offers increased space and shade to wherever you are camping and caravanning, but it also marks a safe area for your kids and family in the outdoor and gives them a space that can be used effectively. Awnings are made out of vinyl, canvas and other materials that smoothly allow you to escape the rain and heat by simple extensions and no hassle. Very easy to set up and store, awnings turn out to be a trustworthy accessory while you are out camping. To make sure your awning doesn’t wear out, here are some tips that will keep your awning in top condition for long.
Mild Detergent to be used as cleanser
To make sure that the fabric of your awning doesn’t wear out or get damaged due to the accumulated dirt and debris, use a mild detergent. A bleach free detergent is recommended as bleach reduces the life of the fabric, resulting in damaged awnings. Right when you are about to wash the awning, ensure that the bird droppings are removed else they get soaked and make the fabric harder and corrosive.

Annual service
No matter if you use your awning frequently or not, annual service is a wise idea. A through annual service will leave your awning with lubricated sliding arms, repairs and checked spring tensions. Annual service of the awning helps in maintaining the functionality of the awning.
To Prevent Rain Water Drips, Rub Wax Over Awning Stitching
Coat the stitching of the awning with wax to avoid rainwater from dripping inside. Also, don’t forget to apply a coat of wax to the area which isn’t exposed after the awning is rolled up. This prevents the sun damage.
Keep it Steady by Tying the Awning Down
Ensure that the awning is tied down properly else a sudden wind gust will destroy your awning. You can always act wise and paint the pegs of the awnings so that they remain visible and you could easily spot if they have come out of their position or not.
Don’t Allow Water to Accumulate
Avoid keeping your awning extended during a downpour. If you keep it extended, then water will definitely get accumulated and this will result in deteriorating of the fabric. The fabric also weighs down and it can further lead to a total collapse.
A Good Quality Awning is Worth an Investment
Whenever you are out shopping for an awning, invest in a premium quality awning. This will simply eliminate the major aforementioned issues and ease down your task of maintaining the awning. You can then save out on costly repairs, damages, and frequent servicing.
