| To achieve the perfect assembling of the awning it is neccessary to create pattern holes. The marks are drilled through the canvas with a hot needle, other kinds of marking have the tendency to move, or in the case of chalk smudge. The pattern holes are more frequent in the canopy, at the channels, and around the zips. On new awnings they can be quite visible, but when the awning is standing in the wind and weather the fabric will work which make the marks contract a little. These marks are not detrimental to the awning performance or value. PVC awnings: small scars can appear, which occur at production and packing/shipping. They look like small holes, but are often only superficial scratches, where the light penetrates. At the packing stage there are sometimes “double folds”, which then cause the coating to appear to have a hole. Normally, this does not affect waterproofing or lifespan, and is inevitable when it comes to PVC and coated materials. | | |
