CANOPIES AND RAIN COVERS
| The
WeatherBreakerTM is
a canopy that attaches to wheelchairs or scooters to protect you from the
sun and rain. It's great for getting to and from work, daily errands,
waiting at the bus stop ... whenever you need it! The Canopy fits any wheelchair or scooter. The canopy itself is generic, but the mounting kit will vary slightly depending on the make and model of your wheelchair or scooter. When you order, you will be asked the make and model of your wheelchair or scooter. When you receive your canopy, it will include all the parts that you need to mount it to your vehicle. How does
it attach to my wheelchair/scooter? It will take you
approximately 15-20 minutes to attach the 2 mounting poles to your
wheelchair/scooter. These are black poles approximately 8" tall and less
than an inch in width so they will not interfere with the normal operation
of your wheelchair/scooter. Once the mounting poles are attached, then
the canopy slips in and out. What
are the different choices of canopy models? The Base Model is
made of solid fabric and is less expensive. The Vented Model is
similar, however, it has mesh material on the sides and back instead of
solid fabric. The Vented Model is more popular because it provides more
ventilation for heat protection while still sufficiently protecting from
sunlight and rain. The Max Protection Model is the same as the
Vented Model, however you also receive plastic drapes that cover your
sides from canopy top to seat bottom to give you maximum protection. The
plastic drapes slip over your canopy and are easily removeable.Ordering your Canopy When ordering, please specify the following 4 items:

It is easy to use and store? Yes. After slipping it off of your
vehicle, you can leave it fully assembled. If you need to store it in a
smaller space or take it with you, you can take 20-30 seconds to
disassemble the frame (5 interlocking pieces) and put it back in it's
stuff sack (included). The stuff sack can then be put away, or hung behind
your wheelchair/scooter to take it with you.Will insurance pay for a canopy? If you have a condition that is worsened by heat, sunlight, or sun rays, OR if you take a photosensitive medication (i.e. most antibiotics, seizure control medications, etc.) then speak with your doctor, therapist, or case worker to see if the WeatherBreaker is recommended. |
