Awnings are fabric constructions supported by light guage steel tube frames.
Canopies and Marquees are solid attachments usually constructed of steel or wood, and covered with roofing materials to assure water tightness. These elements furnish weather protection for customers and present an attractive, colorful appearance. Annual review of the condition of these improvements, and performing needed maintenance will guarantee longer life and customer satisfaction. To clean awnings use natural soap, not detergent. Ivory or Lux dish soap are suitable.
