We do not recommend leaving the awning up unattended during snowfall due to risk of canvas stretching due to excessive weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 1em;border:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:1.7em;color:#666666;font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eAround the inside edge of the awning is a 50mm (2″) thick triple stitched velcro strip which can be used to attach optional awning walls (sold separately) enabling you to fully enclose the area to provide protection from the elements or additional privacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 10px;border:0px;font-size:18px;vertical-align:baseline;color:#333333;line-height:1.5em;font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:1.7em;color:#666666;font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eWe recommend that new awnings are thoroughly wet down before first use.
