Hydrofend™ Coated fabric is made in U.S.A and combines strength, beauty, and water repellency in this lightweight and durable construction. Hydrofend outperforms uncoated fabrics with up to six times greater water resistance.  Forged from a durable polyester monofilament yarn with great tear and tensile strength it is well suited for marine applications.  With a proprietary solvent coating that creates an armor to fend off surface abrasion and to prevent fraying for the tough textile while providing defense against moisture.  It offers a very lightweight construction that is both abrasion resistant and breathable.  The lightweight, yet durable and long lasting 8oz per yard material makes Hydrofend easy to install and remove at a mere 1/3 to 1/2 of the weight of most common vinyl materials. The attractive matte, woven appearance Hydrofend canopies are offered in 10 color options engineered to maintain their vibrancy season after season due to the solution-dyed fiber construction.

QUICKLASH CANOPY ATTACHMENT SYSTEM

When you order a new replacement canopy cover, we include Bungee Attaching Hardware so that you can secure the cover to your canopy frame.  Below is an overview of the attachment system present with cover options as described above.

 

The Quicklash canopy attachment system provides a user-friendly and easy to install design with increased strength and durability over traditional attachment systems.  Sewn into the interior of the cover, Quicklash is a fabric strip with reinforced lacing holes to eliminate the need of grommets to secure the canopy.  The Quicklash webbing is reinforced with Armor Bar, a high-tenacity polyester yarn which provides increased tear resistance and strength.

 

The 2-1/8" wide Quicklash webbing allows for quick and customizable installation with 1" lacing holes spaced every 3".  The canopy cover is secured utilizing the Quicklash webbing and supplied bungees.  The 1/4" stretchable, nylon covered, rubber bungees connect to any of the 1" lacing holes and then are secured to each specified attachment point on the existing canopy frame.  Once all bungees have been installed even tension is created around the perimeter of the canopy frame keeping the cover secure and in place on the frame.

HEWITT CANOPY FRAME MEASURING ASSISTANCE

FLARED END CANOPY FRAME DESIGN: ROUNDED CORNERS

Below we have provided an image that illustrates how to measure your Flared End canopy frame in order to determine the proper size cover. Hewitt canopy frames will have either a flared-rounded end or flat end frame design. Flared frames are slightly peaked to the center of the frame and have rounded/flared frame end corners and are most typically found on frames of 22 ft in length or longer. Typically, above the lower canopy rail in the interior of the frame is a flat bar or a welded tie bar running the length of the frame for bungee attachment. Canopy ribs normally sit on top of a 3 inch by 3 inch square side frame tube. Washers are typically welded on the ends for tie-down attachment.

• Length Measurement: Outside length along the center of the frame from front to back. Lengths are in 2-foot increments.
• Width Measurement: Outside width of the lower canopy rail on a centerline from left to right.

Important Note: Canopy covers are custom and built to order, each specific to the frame make and size. It is important that the correct make and size canopy cover is ordered. Canopies returned due to incorrect size or make ordering errors are subject to restocking fees and in some cases may not be returnable. If replacing an existing cover, check for a canopy tag for size information or contact the canopy frame manufacturer. If you have any fit-related questions after reviewing the measuring instructions, please contact us. If contacting us for sizing assistance, please have images of the canopy frame in question available and measurements as outlined above.
