Can I water with the fabric in place or do I need to fold it back?

Sure, you can water with the fabric on; it makes it really nice and easy. However, if you put hoops under it (I only do this in the fall to prevent frost damage on leaves), you will have to take the fabric off since the water will just run off.

We found that it needed to be folded back when watering with a hose/nozzle. But it didn't dry out as quickly as uncovered areas, and light rain and mist seemed to get through OK.

It works better when you fold it back, although some of the water will still get through with the fabric on. During a slow, steady rain or when using an oscillating sprinkler most of the water seems to get through the fabric.

Hello, I bought this product, but have not used it yet. Sorry I can't answer your question.

Yes, it is fine. Lay the sweater out as flat as you can and fold the sleeves on top of the sweater. In one day, all is dry- no turning needed. It's great!

You can fold it back but when I did the corner ripped a little so I don't recommend folding it back too often

If your item is laying flat you will very likely wind up with wet clothing. Water may come out of the reservoir. It is meant for hanging items, as gravity helps the wrinkles come out.

Mine is on canvas, and since it came folded there are creases and wrinkles in it. I steamed the back of it and then used clamps to tighten it and get the wrinkles out. I plan on rolling it up to avoid the wrinkles in the future.

You have to fold the inserts in half but I would recommend the sleeves. They have saved me a ton of space.

That is actually what I did. I purchased the shade with the intentions of covering it with a chevron fabric. I used hot glue and folded about an inch over on each side. The roller mechanism inside malfunctioned the first time I pulled it down. I don't believe it had anything to do with the weight of the fabric, but more the quality of the item. I hope you have better luck than I did.

We don't fold ours in half. My spouse uses a bath sheet and we just sort of gather it on the top rod of the unit. It works fine and does well. We don't have a problem with it.

Have not tried to use it over regular water closet commode but I would think that you should be able to do so if you remove seat/lid assembly from water closet. When folded upright, the lid/seat of the water closet blocks the drop arm commode from sliding back far enough to align properly. I assume that you also want to use the padded back which is removable. If you remove the padded back, you probably would not have to remove the lid/seat from water closet.

I would just fold it. Cutting would be difficult and hard on the hands but the fabric is flexible enough to be folded. And the ties will anchor it however you wish.

I don't know. We keep it covered for convenience. I think I read somewhere what to do if it gets wet, but nowhere about it drying out.

i agree with prior responses. but i would put some padding around it still. Foam sheet perhaps... best thing for me is water tight. Don't get me wrong I won't put it in a tub of water but in the rain it works out well. It's pretty big. I packed a week's worth of cloths and everything i needed for one week in DR in a privet beach house.

I don't see any issues with that. Just make sure you still pack it full like the instructions say to do so you don't chance tearing of the fabric.

don't immerse in water. wipe with damp rag and let air dry before putting it back on and storing it away.

If you are going to iron it, you should put a couple of pieces of fabric between it and the iron and use a light steam. I think I will do that too to get rid of the fold marks. Then instead of folding it, roll it over a paper towel roller.

I didn't have any trouble folding it back up... bring both sides into the middle till they meet. Stomp out all excess air... then fold again continuing to push out all the air. Roll from short front end to back continuing to push out excess air. This should now fit back into the bag... add poles.

Well, it's made out of a foam-like material, so it would become damp. You might be able to pull it off though if you covered it with a plastic bag and taped it up so the water didn't get in.
