Fabric
• Pro Playgrounds fabrics carry a ten-year limited manufacturer’s warranty from the date of delivery against failure from significant fading*, deterioration, breakdown, mildew, outdoor hear, cold or discoloration. Should the fabric need to be replaced under the warranty, Pro Playgrounds will manufacture and ship a new fabric at no charge for the first six years, thereafter pro-rated at 18% per annum over the last four years. *The colors Red and Yellow are warranted against significant fading for only two years.
• If the corners of the fabric are equipped with both holes in the fabric corner PLUS reinforcing straps, BOTH the strap and fabric hole must be placed over each corner hook or the fabric warranty is void.

• Pro Playgrounds reserves the right, in cases where certain fabric colors have been discontinued, to offer the customer a choice of available colors to replace the warranted fabric of the discontinued color.
