The 5 most common maintenance issues we face with shadeports and solutions:
- Rust: Rust is not an uncommon thing to see but over some time the steel will corrode and deteriorate for the lifespan of the steel might be coming to an end. When you leave rust untreated it can cause the frame or support structure to collapse and that might create a safety problem.
- Solution: Casually monitor the shadeport; Look at the structure and look for places where rust is developing or can be found. Paint and seal the areas that have rust so that the rust doesn’t spread through the howl structure. The use of a sealant can help you keep the structure to be airtight and watertight.
- Keep the shadeport clean: Leaving food or drinks unattended can make insects build their homes around the shadeport. Branches can cause harm to the net when the shadeport is found under a tree or surrounded by trees.
- Solutions: Sweeping, clearing out the spider webs, birds’ nets, tree leaves and branches. The steel is durable to water so you can wash the polls of the structure. Removing food, cool drinks or anything in nature that can attract insects to the shadeport will prevent the development of nests or hives.
- Weather: One of the most common problems normally found with shadeports is mother nature. Depending on where the shadeport is placed the weather can take its toll. No matter if you are in a stormy area, heavy exposure to the UV rays of the sun, rainfall and even heavy thunderstorms the shadeport will always take a punch with the weather.
- Solution: Monitor the shadeport and check if it is still stable and holding its position after heavy weather. Conduct a seasonal casual inspection and conduct a gentle wash and the removing of all branches or anything that can cause harm to the net.
- Foundation: The foundation is the most important for it holds everything together. The foundation might start to look like it is beginning to be unlevel which it would be a good idea to get an expert to have a look at.
- Solution: By calling one of our experts we can identify what is the problem and what is the next step to take.
- Minor repairs: Pay attention to the smallest details because one hole in the net can leave you with a big howl to deal with tomorrow. Do the minor repair to reduce major repairs.
- Solution: You can be surprised at what damage a small hole can do to your shadeport. The monitoring of the structure and net can help you avoid extra costs on maintaining the shadeport.
