Our Awntech Winter Cover is a hand crafted "blanket" that protects the entire awning unit during the off seasons or when not in use. It is made of 100% acrylic fabric that is sealed by industrial Velcro. The installation is simple and the removal of the cover is seamless. The benefits of having this cover are as follows: Allows the customer to keep the awning up on the wall, soffit, and roof all year around without having to remove it for storage during off seasons Minimizes the potential for rodents, pests, and other animals to nest on top or within the awning
