The maintenance and care of your canvas awnings is something that you should consider before purchasing. Removing and preventing mildew is important and the best way to prevent mildew is to hose down your awning regularly which will prevent the pollen which causes mildew from forming.
Also always ensure your awning is dry before rolling it up and be mindful of the waterproofing materials which should be in your awning. Using cleaning agents or detergents that are very strong can damage the waterproof quality of the awning fabric. Bird droppings should be tackled with a spray oil like wd 40 and then cleaned with a light detergent.
Canvas awnings do need a little maintenance and care and caravan awnings offer many different materials such as synthetic material with various degrees of rain proof quality as well.
So choose wisely.
