The Bali is built on an extruded aluminium frame coated with baked-on enamel paint (white or beige) that will neither rust nor peel. The acrylic canvas has a lifespan of 8 to 10 years and must be removed every year before the first snowfall. Thanks to the Flash System, our patented, non-lacing fastening system, it only takes a few minutes to remove the canvas. Although the aluminium frame remains in place, curtains and screens should also be removed and stored for the winter. The canvas will need to be cleaned and treated for waterproofing after 5 years.

 

It is important to remove the canvas and the curtains only once they are thoroughly dry-six hours in the sun should be enough to dry them. Storing a canvas or its components while still damp will promote mould and damage canvas properties.
