Will it protect me from strong winds?

Troubleshooting
Screen is not staying in place
Ensure you are using sufficient fixings (staples or cable ties) spaced appropriately along the edges. For windy areas, consider reinforcing attachment points or using stronger ties.
Fraying after cutting
This should not occur as the weft and warp are sealed. If fraying is observed, ensure a very sharp cutting tool was used and re-seal the edge with a heat source carefully if necessary (test on a small scrap piece first).
Screen appears dirty or soiled
Wipe down the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water and a wipe-down.
Colour fading over time
While UV resistant, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually impact colour vibrancy. Ensure the screen is not exposed to constant, intense sun if colour retention is critical. Rotate or reposition if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure the area where the screen will be installed.
- Cut the poly rattan screening to the desired size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. The sealed edges will prevent fraying.
- Secure the screen to your desired structure (balcony railing, fence posts, etc.) using appropriate fixings. Staples are effective for wooden surfaces, while cable ties work well for metal railings or posts. Ensure the screen is taut for best results.

Care:
To maintain the screen's appearance, simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth as needed. No special cleaning agents are required. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
