RECwater material is one of the best marine grade materials available in the canopy cover market today. This material is made by starting with a premium, commercial weight 9 oz, solution-dyed acrylic fabric. This fabric undergoes a "Blade Over Roller Coating" process that involves pouring molten liquid vinyl over the fabric that is drawn off with a blade to provide a even coating. The vinyl is then cured and heat set in a finishing range. This process allows the vinyl to soak into the fabric material to create a exceptionally strong bond to the fabric. The PVC coating applied is custom colored to match the acrylic fibers which provides you with a rich, elegant looking fabric with great waterproof performance and dimensional stability. The material choice and production process is what make the RECwater material a excellent choice for marine applications.

QUIKLASH CANOPY ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
The Quiklash 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, Quiklash is a fabric strip with reinforced lacing holes to eliminate the need of grommets to secure the canopy. The Quiklash webbing is reinforced with Armor Bar, a high-tenacity polyester yarn which provides increased tear resistance and strength.
The 2-1/8" wide Quiklash webbing allows for quick and customizable installation with 1" lacing holes spaced every 3". Canopy cover is secured utilizing the Quiklash webbing and supplied bungees. The 1/4" stretchable, nylon covered rubber bungees connect to any of the 1" lacing holes and then 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.
