neutral  Tony M: As this is described as an annual service, I don't think it is referring to simple erection.

Good point, Patrick!

As it is an 'annual service', I was thinking more about something like taking down an awning for cleaning / repair, rather than something like seasonal marquee erection...

Note that the source text only mentions 'awnings' — there is no specific mention of marquees, etc.

  -> Merci, Patrick ! C'est vous qui voyez mieux que moi — pour un store, je pensais « poser », mais vous pourrez me le dire ... ?
neutral  B D Finch: Wouldn't that be a down-and-up service? I did realise "up-and-down" was a set pattern, but to translate it required finding out what they really mean, which actually does start with putting the awning up in the spring.

  -> Thx, B! Well logically yes — but you know how in En there are just set patterns of saying things, like 'inside-out' (instead of outside-in) or 'walkie-talkie' (instead of talkie-walkie, as in FR) — I think 'up-and-down' is just so much commoner in EN.

"Seasonal installation (spring) and removal (fall) has been a key part of our company since the beginning. We take total responsibility to carefully remove, inspect, store and re-install your fabric awning(s), taking away all pressures from our customers."
