Hi.  I bought a 2nd hand 260 awning last autumn & have  used it all this season.  When I came to take it down, it literally just fell apart!  When i looked closer at it, i could see that the roof had become like paper.  Fabric was brittle & 'ripe'.  What
would have caused this and/or what is the life-span of these?  I'm considering buying another as it was so easy to put up, but not so sure now.  Any comments?  Thanks.
