4. Maintenance
Frame Maintenance:
The powder-coated aluminum frame is designed for all-weather use and is resistant to rust and corrosion. Periodically inspect the frame for any signs of damage or loose connections. Tighten any loose screws as needed. Clean the frame with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly.
Curtain and Netting Care:
The yarn-dyed polyester curtains and textile netting are designed for durability and color fastness. Clean them regularly by gently wiping with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, follow the care instructions on the fabric tags. Ensure curtains and netting are dry before storing or fully closing for extended periods to prevent mildew.
Drainage System:
The built-in drainage system ensures efficient water runoff. Regularly check the gutters and drainage channels for any debris (leaves, twigs) that might obstruct water flow. Clear any blockages to maintain optimal performance.
