Annex Install Instructions
-Do not store the annex wet. If you do have to pack away when the annex is wet, zip closed all
canvas doors and windows to protect the inside of the annex, and pack away. As soon as you
can, open the annex and let it dry out thoroughly to prevent mold and rot. If the annex is to
be closed up for extended periods of time it is very important that the annex is completely
dry.
- Keep annex floor clean.
- Lube zippers periodically with a quality zipper lube.
-Please note: The annex is not made for extreme conditions, and a fair use policy is required.
Excessive rain, wind and other extreme conditions can affect and/or damage the annex.
Care Instructions
1. Clean only with cold water and a soft brush - do not use soap or detergent, this will remove the
waterproofing compounds.
2. Do not expose to petrol, oil or solvents.
3. New poly/cotton fabric will initially experience some weeping through the seams. This will
reduce over time as the fabric cures.
4. Well worn products may be re-proofed using a good quality waterproofing solution. This is
highly recommended. Generally this is re-applied every 1-2 years depending on how much you
use or clean the annex and what environments your annex has been used in. Some
waterproofing agents may also contain UV inhibitors. 303 protectant fabric guard, Star Brite, Rain
guard, Nikwax and Kiwi all offer polycotton safe waterproofing solutions. Most are a silicon based
solution.
5. Zippers can be lubed with a silicon spray or bee’s wax, this keeps them lubed and helps with
water resistance. Clean zippers with a soft brush. Commercially zipper lube is available.
6. If the fabric needs cleaning, use a mild detergent mixture( 1 cup Lysol all-purpose cleaner to 1
gallon of warm water) use with a soft brush to clean fabric as needed. Rinse off the annex with a
rinse solution of ( 1 cup lemon juice, 1 cup sea salt to 1 gallon of warm water), then rinse with
cool water. Allow to dry completely before storage. Re- water proof after the annex is
completely dry.
