Note: Do you know how to maintenance of your shadings?

As you all know, winter can bring very strong and difficult weather conditions in the UK such as flood and storms. Once winter arrives, there are a few more things you can do to maintain the condition of your shadings. For keeping your awning safe during extremely bad weather conditions, keep it closed. Before you prepare your awning for winter, our most important tip is, allow the awning fabric to dry properly before the last retraction. Otherwise, there is a risk of mould and mildew stains. Clean it first, then put your awning away for the winter.

If you see the snow starting to pile up on your pergola, sweep or shovel it away. Pay attention not to let the excessive accumulation of snow on your structure. This reduces the weight on your structure and doesn't allow the snow to freeze to your rafters.

Basic care and maintenance provide long service life. If you want to see more information check it out here.
