For example, in a sudden rainstorm, a poorly sewn awning may cause boat gear placed underneath to get wet, resulting in unnecessary damage.
To ensure tight zipper seams, our Flicker Marine brand awnings are manufactured with high-quality zippers and fine stitching. Strict quality control standards and skilled workers are key.

For example, an awning that is too small may not fully cover the area to be shaded, leaving parts of it exposed to the sun or rain, while an awning that is too large may look out of place or even out of harmony with its surroundings.
Accurate size measurement needs to take into account a number of factors, including the length, width and height of the installation location, as well as the surrounding obstacles, etc. Flicker Marine's installers usually use precise measuring tools, and carefully measure and calculate in conjunction with the actual situation, in order to ensure that the awning can be installed in the designated location in the right way.

Flat canvas not only looks more beautiful, but also in the process of use can evenly withstand the pressure of wind and rain, reducing the risk of damage.

Taking outdoor water sailing as an example, a faded and uneven awning will leave a bad impression on boat owners and passengers, affecting the overall aesthetics of the boat. On the contrary, an awning with a flat canvas and long-lasting color can enhance the comfort and viewability of water cruising and make it more interesting. In order to achieve a flat and colorfast canvas, high quality material selection and advanced treatment processes are essential.
