Protect your investment: Expert care and maintenance for Baytex PVC tents, marquees, canopies and structures
Baytex offers detailed care and maintenance guides to help extend the life of your PVC tents and marquees. Our downloadable PDFs include expert cleaning methods using safe, effective products like Sliktop, with step-by-step instructions for washing, drying, inspecting, and storing tent components. Learn how to prevent mildew, avoid permanent stains, and protect your fabric from damage caused by improper handling or harsh chemicals. In addition to fabric care, Baytex outlines essential maintenance procedures for aluminium frames, galvanised steel fittings, and bracing systems. Regular inspections are key—checking for structural wear, corrosion, and damage to rivets, cables, or straps helps ensure continued safety and performance. Silkline liners also require special care to maintain their elegant, crease-resistant finish. These inherently flame-retardant polyester fabrics should be gently laundered with mild detergent, dried thoroughly, and stored properly to avoid mildew. Repeated washing enhances their soft sheen, and a garment steamer can be used for touch-ups to keep them looking pristine at every event.
