Warranty and General care:
- Wind related damage is not covered under warranty, we do not recommend that you open your awning in adverse weather conditions.
- 12-month structural warranty covering manufacturing and material defects. This does not include the incorrect use or mounting of your awning.
- Your consumer rights include that we will replace or refund at our discretion for any major structural failures. For any minor issues we will happily work with you to sort out the best possible solution to ensure your awning is in its best usable condition.
- When you open your awning, please ensure the zippers are right to the top of the bag so that when you fold the bag over it does not cause any stress on the zipper and eliminates a pinch point for the bag.
- When you roll up your awning, please ensure it is done as tight as possible to minimise movement during travel, incorrect securement of your awning could cause rubbing and holes in your canvas.
- As your awning will be exposed to the elements we recommend you use the following products to maintain your awning. Lanolin spray for your brackets to help protect against surface rust. A canvas reproofer spray to aid in waterproofing.
- Please check over all bolts from time to time as these can loosen during travel.
Freight related issues:
If you elect to have your awning left in a safe place for home delivery, there is no opportunity for you to check over that the item has arrived in good condition. Therefore Bushwakka Adventure Gear cannot be held responsible for any claim for freight damage or theft of items after delivery.
Please ensure you thoroughly check over the box prior to signing for it, if there is any obvious damage to the box please refuse the parcel and let us know immediately. Please ensure you check over your awning once it has arrived to ensure you are not missing any items, if you do please let us know at your earliest convenience so we can resolve any issues.
Seasoning of your Canvas:
1. Setup your awning in your backyard or any area where you can soak it with water.
2. Use your garden hose on the “shower” setting as you want to evenly soak your canvas with
water.
3. Your canvas may at first repel the water however after a minute or so it will start to absorb
the water, continue to spray the awning for at least 3-5 minutes. Ensure that you are
covering all surface area but most importantly you want to soak the canvas mostly where
the seams are stitched together.
4. Leave the canvas in the sun until completely dry (You can let it dry undercover however for
best results we recommend you leave it to dry in direct sunlight).
5. Repeat the process 3-4 times until satisfied.
6. It is very important to be patient when seasoning your awning. Please do not proceed to the
next step until it is entirely wet/dry.
7. We can also recommend scotch guard to help with the process.
