This means that there is reduced traction on the wall mounting, as well as increased safety in high winds. This means that very large areas can be shaded.

Additional attachment with round supports The integrated tensioning system featuring ultra tearresistant conveyor belts and strong gas pistons drive the front profile smoothly and quietly over a lateral guide track system.
