Proper care will extend the life of your canopy tent:

• Canopy Fabric: The 410D high-density fabric is water-resistant and UV-protected. Clean with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Drying: Always ensure the canopy top is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew and fabric degradation.
