Lifespan depends on UV exposure, weather, air quality, installation, and maintenance.
Extreme Weather Performance
High winds: PVC Mesh up to 45 mph, Premium Airmesh up to 60 mph, Elite Polyester up to 70 mph (with correct installation).
Cold: Flexible to -15 °C, handle carefully in extreme cold.
Heat: Premium materials resist colour fade better above 30 °C.
Weather Resistance
All are water-resistant mesh materials with drainage capability, UV protection, and mold resistance. Operate from -20 °C to +70 °C.
Elite Polyester is best for marine conditions. Use stainless steel fittings, clean regularly to remove salt, and expect slightly shorter lifespan without extra care.

Care & Maintenance

Repairs & Monitoring
Small tears can be patched; damaged eyelets reinforced. Replacement may be best if repair costs exceed 60% of new.
Check for tears, fading, loose fixings, sagging, and drainage issues. Keep maintenance records.
Document issues, review installation and care, then contact technical support. Warranty claims need proof of proper use and maintenance.
