IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
FABRIC TOPS AND WALLS MANUFACTURED
WITH CLEAR VINYL FILM
These products have been carefully manufactured using an unsupported clear vinyl fi lm. The fi lm
supplied is of the highest quality available. Product testing has determined that clear vinyl fi lm,
unlike scrim reinforced vinyl in other Anchor products, is dimensionally unstable and will in
all likelihood change shape as the environmental or weather conditions change. Consequently,
without constant tension on the top, this condition will cause stretching of the material and ponding
of water may result. Similarly, cleaning with high heat, solvents or chemical cleaners may cause the
clear vinyl fi lm to shrink and must be avoided.
Anchor Industries Inc. will not accept any responsibility due to the failure or unacceptable
performance of the clear vinyl fi lm due to improper or inadequate maintenance of fabric tensioning,
failure due to improper storage and cleaning, or other environmental factors.
Please refer to our website for instructions for proper tensioning and maintenance of fabric tops made
with clear vinyl fi lm.
Questions or concerns regarding clear vinyl fi lm can be answered by your Anchor Sales
Representative.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER TENSIONING AND
MAINTENANCE OF FABRIC TOPS MADE WITH
CLEAR VINYL FILM.
1. After installing the clear vinyl tops, tension the tops utilizing tensioning straps or threaded tensioners as required by the manufacturer’s written instructions.
2. After tensioning all of the tops is completed, revisit each tensioning device and retighten as needed. Weather or environmental condition may dictate the amount of retensioning required. Simultaneously tensioning the clear vinyl top at each end will result in a more uniformed tightness.
3. On the following day, retension each tensioning device as needed due to the clear vinyl tops relaxing overnight. Field-testing has determined that it is critical to retension the clear vinyl tops within
24-hours of initial installation.
4. If the clear vinyl tops remain in place for more than one week, inspect and retension the tops
weekly or as weather or environmental conditions dictate. Hot, windy or rainy conditions may
require more frequent inspections and re-tensioning.
IMPORTANT: Any recommendations made by Anchor Industries, Inc. concerning the uses or applications of the clear vinyl fi lm are believed reliable and consistent with industry standards, but Anchor
Industries, Inc. makes no warranty of results to be obtained. The Buyer/User assumes all responsibility for loss or damage resulting from the handling and use of clear vinyl goods.
