Keep the Weather Out
Unmatched Performance
So far on the market there are no hangar curtains competitively priced that are listed as outdoor super duty curtains for windy areas, though a lot claim this. These inferior curtains have grommets that will rip out as they are not properly reinforced with webbing. AKON super heavy duty aircraft hangar curtains are designed based on our experiences with how curtains have failed in the field from our years of experience. We have developed a wind blocking curtain that takes the stress off of the curtain material and puts it back on the hardware to relieve tearing and curtain failure.
Outdoor Curtain Strength
This super heavy duty outdoor curtain features an optional mesh section in the middle to allow some wind to blow through to reduce the stress on the curtain. The mesh also has an optional back flap to help control free-flowing breeze when it is not windy out.
We also triple stitch sew heavy duty webbing straps vertically every 5 feet the full length of the curtain from the roller hooks all the way down to the anchor plates. This takes the majority of the stress off of the curtain and places it on the hardware at the top and the bottom of the curtain. The quad steel wheel rollers are each rated for 125 pounds of force. Anchor plates at the bottom are bolted into your concrete and also have exceptional strength for wind loads.
Materials
- Hem can hold anywhere between 25-35 lbs per square inch
- The hardware can handle approx 75 lbs per foot of span
- 22 oz PVC coated fabric with Mesh Wind Panel
- Ideal for temperatures going as low as -22° F or -30° C
- Color options available
