▷ Technical Details of the Ecotent® Canopy Tents

From the selection of high-quality materials to precision manufacturing, our products embody the best of decades of expertise and passion for long-lasting canopy tents.

Sewn by hand with precision

The roof

Velcro fasteners:
Additional, adjustable Velcro fasteners at the corners ensure an evenly stretched roof. The advantages? Your logo is always clearly visible, water will not accumulate on the roof and the appearance of your canopy tent is always professional.
colorED VELCRO:
Get an E1 or E2 canopy tent and we'll match the Velcro to the color of the roof. A visual detail that is sometimes underestimated.
ROOF REINFORCEMENT:
With the aim of constantly increasing the longevity of our canopy tents, we have equipped all canopy tent roofs with 500D Oxford reinforcements where the frame structure comes into contact with the textile. In this way, wear and tear is counteracted. The color of these reinforcements is matched to that of the roof.
THREADS AND BOARDERS IN MATCHING colorS:
For a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result, all borders and seams of the canopy tent have the same color.

Technical details of our textiles

Our products are made of resistant fabrics with excellent technical properties. Our experienced seamstresses and tailors transform the fabrics into roofs that offer reliable protection for any occasion.

Water column up to 79"

100 % waterproof textiles

Our textiles have been tested according to the European standard EN 20811, which determines the behaviour of the textile under gradually increasing hydrostatic pressure. It verifies the pressure limit at which the water penetrates the textile. As soon as the first drops penetrate the fabric, the test is terminated and the determined value is thus the water column value. The result: Ecotent® fabrics withstand a water column of 79" and are therefore 100 % waterproof.
Don't let bad weather spoil your mood and just let the rain roll off!

Oxford 500D and 250D

Fire-retardant textiles

Our Oxford 500D and Oxford 250D textiles have been tested and certified for fire resistance by the renowned institute Efectis Nederland BV. In accordance with the European standard EN 13501-1:2018, they have been assigned to the fire protection class B - s1, d0 and are therefore considered flame retardant.Why is this important?
At certain events, especially public events, organizers usually require a certificate proving the fire resistance of the textiles. This is exactly what you get when you buy an Ecotent® canopy tent. Of course, direct contact with open flames must always be avoided.

UFP 50+

Textiles with UV protection

Ultraviolet rays can not only be uncomfortable because of the heat, they can also be extremely harmful to your health and seriously damage your products. Our textiles for canopy tents have a UV protection value of UPF 50+, the highest achievable value on the scale. This guarantees that you, your customers and your products will always be protected from ultraviolet rays! Of course, we had this tested and our textiles passed this test with ease.

Long lasting colors

Lightfast colors

When we talk about the durability of our canopy tents, we also refer to the color fastness of the textiles. In accordance with the European standards DIN EN ISO 105-B02 and DIN EN ISO 105-A02, our textiles have been given a blue scale of 4.5-6.5 out of a maximum of 8 and a gray scale of 3.5 out of a maximum of 5 marks. These standards specify a test method for determining the color resistance of textiles of all types and in all states of processing. They are tested under artificial light conditions corresponding to natural daylight. Our textiles passed with flying colors even in prolonged sunlight.

TÜV, REACH, Global Recycled Standard

European certificates of conformity and safety

All our textiles have been tested and certified for the most important conformity and safety certificates in Europe:All canopy tents are TÜV-certified (product certification).All materials used in the production of the canopy tents are REACH-compliant.
Further tests have been carried out by independent international bodies to prove the sustainability of our recycled fabric:Our “Recycling” fabric has been certified according to the applicable Global Recycled Standard by Control Union.

Our sewing department turns the fabric leftovers generated during the canopy tent production into stylish drawstring bags to recycle the material and reduce waste as much as possible. Everyone who buys an Ecotent® canopy tent, gets one for free!

Light, stable and corrosion-resistant

The aluminum structure

RUBBER CAPS:
Why should a canopy tent have them? The rubber caps protect the hinged poles as well as the roof from damage during transport and use. Everything to make your canopy tent last longer!
RIPPED SQUARE ALUMINIUM PROFILE:
High stability with low weight. Aluminum is lightweight, but that doesn't mean it isn't strong! The ribbed square profile gives your canopy tent great stability.
FOOT PLATE:
The rectangular foot plates of our canopy tents, which are made of either galvanised steel or aluminum depending on the series, allow the canopy tent to stand firmly on the ground, whatever the surface.
CORNER CLIP (E1):
The corner clips attached to the corner posts of the canopy tent allow the roof to be hooked in and thus maintaining the optimum tension of the textile at all times. In addition, this way your canopy tent will have a more professional overall appearance and all logos and letterings on the valances are always clearly visible.
STRONG ALUMINIUM PROFILES
The tent legs of our E1 canopy tents have a diameter of 1.8" and a wall thickness of 0.1". The hinged poles and other elements of the E1 structure measure 1.1"x0,5" and are 0.1” thick, making them extremely robust.

aluminum

aluminum and its properties

We only use anodised 6060 aluminum from Italy and process it directly at our site in South Tyrol (IT). This special aluminum alloy has a very high corrosion resistance, is easy to weld and, thanks to the anodising process, has a very modern matt look as well as additional protection against external influences.

5 ingenious details for an easy assembly

Details ABOUT THE SET-UP

PUSH BUTTON:
What is this red button on the corner posts for? It helps you to dismantle the canopy tent effortlessly after use without the risk of jamming your fingers. Press it lightly and the corner slider is unlocked and the tent can be closed.
PLASTIC GLIDES:
Against scratches and for easy operation. All moving parts of the aluminum structure (E1, E2) have plastic glides, counteracting friction and thus facilitating assembly and disassembly.
EASY SET-UP MECHANISM:
Our easy set-up mechanism consists in a spring bolt integrated in the aluminum profile, which makes it easier to set up the canopy tent. Simply press it and the tent leg can be extended without any effort.
HEIGHT ADJUSTABILITY:
The height of our E1 and E2 canopy tents can be adjusted by 2 or 3 levels to make the tents as adaptable as possible to any use. This feature is particularly useful if the canopy tent needs to be erected on sloping terrain or if there are height restrictions.
BOLT SYSTEM:
We do not use screws that could come loose over time, but a patented bolt system that connects individual parts of the aluminum structure. This useful system is a big advantage also in case a piece gets damaged, since it allows you to replace any spare part without tools.
