Warranty Information

Frankford

10YR WARRANTY

Frankford offers 9 oz. marine grade solution dyed acrylic fabric from several mills, including Sunbrella®, Outdura, and Recasens®. All marine grade acrylic fabrics we use carry a warranty of 10 years from the original date of purchase. All upholstery grade fabrics we use carry a warranty of 5 years from the original date of purchase.

The warranty protects against the loss of characteristics, rot, mildew, and colorfastness typical in normal atmospheric conditions. The product must be properly installed, maintained, and under normal use and environment.

This warranty does not cover damage caused by contact with foreign objects, abuse, negligence, vandalism, burns of any kind, improper cleaning techniques, normal wear, perforations, weather soiling, environmental pollution stains, natural disasters, or acts of nature. Damage caused by the storage method or location used by clients is not covered.

DISCLAIMER: When opening and closing the umbrella, the user must be sure all fabric is pulled away from the ribs to prevent unnecessary rubbing of the fabric against the frame or hardware. This could result in premature wearing or holes in the fabric. Damage of this nature is not covered under warranty.

To ensure our product’s longevity, we recommend closing your umbrella and securing it with a tie band in high winds. In addition, be sure the fabric is pulled away from the ribs as outlined above. High winds will cause the umbrella fabric to rub together, causing friction, which can result in premature thinning of the fabric, discoloration, and possible pin holes over extended use. We strongly suggest the use of a protective cover or safely storing the umbrella until the winds and harsh weather subside. Damage of this nature is not covered under warranty.

The warranty, if applicable, does not cover labor, frames, systems, and installation supplied by the dealer or reseller. Replacement fabric canopy is covered for the time remaining in the original warranty and does not activate a new 10-year, or 5-year warranty.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER

Frankford Umbrellas’ warranties do not cover damage to any umbrellas or umbrella bases related to extreme weather, abuse, misuse, or any damage that occurs as a result of contact with the ground or any other foreign object due to sudden and severe weather events or other extreme acts of nature.

Frankford Umbrellas’ warranties are only applicable to products that are properly secured to Frankford bases or anchoring systems equal to or greater than recommended by Frankford. Failure to properly secure Frankford umbrellas to Frankford bases equal to or greater than recommended will void all warranties.

Wind Damage:
Treasure Garden highly recommends that no umbrella, regardless of size or weight, ever be left unattended in the open position. In windy conditions, it is further recommended that umbrellas be closed, removed from their base, and stored, or laid horizontally. This will reduce the risk of damage to your umbrella, furniture, and other belongings or property. To ensure stability of your umbrella, please observe proper placement, and use sufficient weight (base). The Treasure Garden catalog contains minimum recommendations for necessary weight; but this can vary, depending on the conditions in your particular area. WIND DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR LIMITED WARRANTY.

The possibility of “Irregularities” in the product surface may occur during the production process. However, these irregularities do not reduce the quality of the product. Treasure Garden monitors every stage of production to ensure a clean and consistent appearance on every part. Rust:
Rust is a natural part of the aging process of all Steel or Iron based materials and is therefore NOT considered a defect. Treasure Garden Cast Iron & Steel plate bases are designed to require minimum maintenance. Bases should be kept clean. Do not let dirt build up on the bases. Cleaning with mild soap and water, and seasonal touch-up of any scratches, chips or occasional rust seepage from crevices or hidden, un-finishable surfaces inherent in some designs is all that is required. Touch Up paint in matching frame colors are available through your retail dealer. Never leave bases standing in water. To keep your bases looking their best, you may wish to store them when not in use for an extended period of time. 

Seaside and indoor pool usage:
CAUTION: Seaside and indoor pool use, salt & chlorides can accumulate on the powder coat finish, leading to finish failure. Failure or neglect to make needed cleanings may cause paint to blister, and such failure will void limited warranty.
