- Hose mast and frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty or industrial environment.
- Inspect the installation fitting on a regular basis and tighten if necessary.

- Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean absorbent cloth.
- For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil. Wash down with clean, warm water (i.e. garden hose) every so often to avoid dirt becoming engrained. Allow the fabric to air dry before closing the canopy.
- If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap solution (2% solution). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residues.
- Never use detergents, cleaning fluids or solvents. Grease and oil stains may be removed by using turpentine or similar with an absorbent cloth.
- We recommend giving the canopy a good cleaning on a more frequent basis if installed in a location where the canopy is likely to become soiled.
- Please visit the fabric websites for more details: www.obravia.com or www.sunbrella.com.
- Use protective canopy cover during storage.

- While Shademaker umbrellas are made to withstand some wind – it is recommended that the umbrellas always be lowered during windy conditions. If it is too windy to enjoy your umbrella, then the umbrella should be closed. Please remove the umbrella during extreme weather conditions to avoid damage that could be caused by flying debris.
- Note: Wind damage (or any damage caused by acts of nature) is never covered under warranty.
- Sufficient base weight must be used to secure umbrellas at all times. Please see our base chart for minimum requirements for free standing base weight. Mounting your umbrella to an existing deck or patio is always the preferred method of securing your umbrella and is recommended above all other methods. We recommend a licensed contractor to secure your Shademaker umbrellas.
