Multiple Applications - One Perfect Solution!
Every patio cover, awning, pergola, or conservatory is different. Standard shading solutions often require compromises - too short here, too long there.
At our shop, you get the perfect shading solution for your needs - because our cable tension awnings are custom made.
Installation is a breeze - just tension the cables and insert the cable tension awning into the provided clips.
The shading panels are made from high-quality Dralon outdoor fabric. You can choose from nearly 50 fabric colors and patterns - and you're sure to find a cable tension awning that perfectly suits your ambiance.
Our cable tension awnings are made in Germany - a true "made in Germany" product!
Why Cable Tension Awnings?
Our cable tension awnings have an elegant appearance and offer a much better value for money than traditional articulated-arm and automatic full-extent awnings.
Cable tension awnings are more flexible than any other type of shading - you can individually shade each area on the patio or conservatory, or leave it exposed to the sun. Each section can be pulled out or retracted independently.
They create a very personal ambiance on the patio - so even during a rainy summer, you can create a friendly and sunny atmosphere, for example by choosing a sun yellow custom cable tension awning. Plus, you get optimal protection from UV radiation.
Customizable Cable Tension Awnings - Fit Any Roof!
The shading panels can be installed in two different ways:
Customize each panel individually using our online configurator, or put the desired number of identical panels directly into the shopping cart.
Our Cable Tension Awnings Are Also Suitable for Open Pergolas!
Please note - our cable tension awnings are not a replacement for the roof! If they are to be used with open pergolas, we recommend installing a shield where the retracted awnings are protected from the wind and precipitation, as the shading panels can withstand wind speeds of up to 30 km/h (approx. 18.6 mph). This ensures a longer lifespan for the cable tension awnings.
This shield might look something like this:
Optimal Awning Protection for an Open Pergola
The awning protection does not have to be overly large, but it also should not be too small.
Ideally, our shading panels should be protected from above and on the sides.
Determine the optimal dimensions for your protection with our online calculator. It is assumed that the spar spacing per section is approximately 40 cm (15.75 inches).
The optimal protection depth and height will be determined.

Perfect Materials - Our Secret to Success!
Fabric.
The fabric panels are made from very high-quality Dralon outdoor fabric (100% acrylic with Teflon coating). The fabric is ideal for use as a shading device:
- UV-resistant (lightfastness factor of 5 - 7 depending on color)
- Stain protection - thanks to Teflon coating, dirt- and water-repellent
- Breathable
- Resistant to mold
- Durable
- Light (approx. 190g per 1 m² or approximately 0.62 oz per 10.76 ft²)
Cable.
Steel cables have an annoying feature - they become rough over time and require regular maintenance.
Not without reason, vendors often sell lubricants as well (e.g., spray grease, silicone spray, etc.).
And if just a single wire breaks and stands crosswise - you can no longer extend or retract your cable tension awning; a new cable is needed.
Therefore, we have included polyester rope in our range. The rope is ideally suited for the cable tension awning:
- It is very sturdy - with a diameter of 2.2 mm, the tensile load is 1800 N (almost 184 kg or approx. 406 lbs)
- It is flame retardant.
- It is durable and requires absolutely no maintenance.
No need for lubricants or similar throughout its entire lifecycle. Your cable tension awning will slide smoothly and reliably for years to come.
We offer a lifetime warranty on the rope.
Mounting Set.
Our custom cable tension awnings are also ideally suited for roofs with a steep slope. The shading panels glide smoothly and reliably.
No additional accessories are needed to secure the individual panels. Simply pull the cable tension awning to the desired position, and it will stay fixed in place. It couldn't be easier.
