The 'canvas' needs special care. No big thing.

You can do it at home. Here are the instructions for caring for Sunbrella.

It's not so much the sumbrella that is the problem, but the various stitching and
trim that doesn't seem to hold up.

We took our Sumbrella Bimini to the local canvas shop and had it restitched
(just put another row of stitches over the old ones) after about 10 years

Really! Ten years, eh? Good to know.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.

Well you got me there. I agree the stitching seems to go first. I would assume there are different grades of thread but darned if I
know how to tell who is using what and I wouldn't know the good stuff if it bit me anyway!
