Gently wipe the polycarbonate sheets and aluminum frames in a circular motion, rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft towel. Avoid using high-pressure water or sharp objects, which can cause cracks or scratches.

How to maintain a PC Canopy?

To maintain a PC Canopy, you can inspect it regularly for any damage, such as cracks, holes, or loose screws. Repair any damage as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration. You can lubricate the joints and locks with silicone spray to keep them working smoothly. You can also remove any leaves, branches, or snow on the canopy to avoid excess weight and stress.

How to install a PC Canopy?

To install a PC Canopy, you can follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and use the appropriate tools and hardware. You may need to prepare the foundation, assemble the frames, attach the sheets, and secure the anchors. If you are not comfortable with DIY installation, you can hire a professional contractor to do the job.
