assuming if the pole fell over and water puddled and the weight tore the rotted canvas. ive seen gallons of water on a cover b4 and it may have tears at some snaps but never rotted canvas also. in fact ive always had to release the cover to drain the water
this is how easily it tears

What fabric was thar Mike?
Florida sun eats everything down here.
Never seen fabric rot like that in a years time. There had to be an issue from the factory. I am just glad Miami and Outdura stepped up and made it right for you.

Never saw anything like that. I've seen pelican poop eat holes in canvas (uric acid) and rats chew holes in canvas, and iguanas shred it with their claws, but obviously the way you can rip it with two fingers indicates a mfg. issue.

Well i think the owner may have been careless with the pole (not tight) and it fell when he was gone and the cover held water. Even still ive never seen traped water rott the canvas so fast ive seen it tear at the snaps anway (thumbs up) to miami corp After loosing mike i didnt hope for much. But the new guy stepped up. Rite mojo.
