Bungee Stretch
Bungees are designed to stretch in windy conditions to prevent damage to the marquee’s roof or side panels. However, over time, they can become worn and resemble string, especially on the side exposed to the most wind. It’s essential to replace these bungees when they show signs of wear. Avoid using cable ties for replacements, as they can cause eyelets to rip.
Stakes & Straps
If your marquee has been up for an extended period or has experienced heavy rain, it’s crucial to check your stakes. Ensure they are still securely anchored and haven’t shifted or been dislodged. Additionally, verify that the straps are tight and in good condition.
Water Pooling
For marquees that have been erected for a long time, inspect the roof for any water pooling. Standing water can stretch the PVC material, leading to potential damage to this critical part of your marquee. Address any pooling promptly to prevent damage.
Cleaning the PVC
The best time to clean the PVC is while the marquee is still up. We recommend using TFR (Traffic Film Remover). Dilute the TFR, spray it onto the marquee, and scrub with a stiff brush or broom. Rinse thoroughly with a hose to leave the marquee clean and fresh.
