Instructions for folding a canopy for a Cross boat
These basic instructions will help you fold your boat canopy neatly.






Care and handling of the boat canopy
- The boat canopy is not suitable for storing the boat outdoors in the winter. The fabric part of the canopy should be stored in a warm, dry place when the boating season has ended. If it is stored in a cold place, moisture may condense on the surface, which could lead to mould growth.
- The canopy arches are not designed to withstand the weight of snow. Do not use the arches to support a winter cover!
- Do not cook food under the canopy. The moisture and grease given off during cooking can stick to the surface of the canopy and provide a place for mould to grow.
- Do not wash the canopy with solvents. The canopy should be cleaned with lukewarm water at a maximum temperature of 30°C.
