Heavy Duty Outdoor Curtains are made with reinforced webbing that is sewn into the curtain (every 4′ plus the curtain ends) that goes all the way from the top of the curtain track to the bottom of the curtain, where it anchors into a plate in the floor. This reinforcement helps sustain higher wind loads for areas that are prone to stronger winds. At the top of the track, the webbing is attached to a specially designed trolley with steel wheels that has four points of connection inside the track. This further distributes the wind load, providing a more even distribution of push and pull forces. These windproof curtains, made from 18 oz. industrial-grade vinyl (the same material used on trucking tarps), provide many seasons of effortless, worry-free use. For less wind loads, the more economical outdoor industrial curtains can be used to cordon off areas of different shapes and sizes.
How fullness works: Fullness helps the curtain properly cover the full width of your opening. At 0% the curtain is exactly the width you entered; at 50% we make it 50% wider than the width you entered, and at 100% we make it twice as wide.
Choose Your Curtain Material
How every Windproof curtain is built: heavy duty mildew-resistant webbing runs the full height of the curtain every 4 feet, plus one at each end, and is triple stitched. The wind webbing, the heavy duty rollers and the anchor straps are all included in your price at no extra cost.
Clear vision panel: a clear PVC window is sewn into the opaque curtain so you keep visibility and natural light. Tell us the size and placement you want in the notes below and we will confirm it with you.
Mesh vision panel: the mesh section lets wind pass straight through the curtain, which takes load off the system in high wind. An optional back flap can close it off on calm days - ask for it in the notes below.

WARNING - Cold Crack
Different materials have different low temperature ratings. These are very important, so please read carefully.
Clear - 20mil Clear Vision Panels - Ideal for temperatures going as low as 10° F or -12° C and above. If folded below these temperatures or blown around in the wind, the vinyl will likely crack. If your environment is likely to have temperatures below this range, it is best to use only opaque solid color curtains.
Opaque Solid Color - 18oz - Ideal for temperatures going as low as -20° F or -28° C. If folded below these temperatures or blown around in the wind, the vinyl will likely crack. If your environment is likely to have temperatures below this range, then our curtains will likely crack.
How to Measure
Width
Measure the distance that you are trying to cover.
Add 5% to that dimension and input it into the width field of this form.
The extra 5% gives you proper drape for your curtain.
Height
Measure the distance from the floor to the mounting point.
Take that dimension and subtract 3 inches and input it into the heightfield of this form.
If you are not using hardware then no need to subtract the 3"
If you want the floor sweep option, also subtract the 3". This will allow the floor sweep to lay slightly on the floor while the main curtain is just off of the floor.

Common Questions
What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?
Standard curtains have approximately 3.75 to 1″ of a gap from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain.
What are the dimensions of the track?
Can the track be cut to size as required on site?
Yes, the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall.
How much width does the radius corner add to the length?
A radius corner has a 2' radius. So if you input 10' for curtain length you will end up with 12' when you attach the radius corner. If that is too long then simply cut the track onsite and the radius will still work.
How does the track go together?
The track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that have a simple bolt together design.
How close together do I need the track supports?
The track should be supported approximately every 5' with a track support. The farther apart the track supports, the greater the deflection. If you have a relatively light weight curtain then you could space the supports out to about 8' apart. You will receive enough track supports with your order to achieve this 5' spacing.
Can I simply drill straight through the track and into the ceiling / structure?
Yes. This is called a flush mount install and is very common. Simply drill through the middle of the track and use a small wood screw, bolt, Tek screw...ect into your structure. Space the holes about every 3-5'.
How hard is it to install the industrial curtain track?
It is very easy. All of the components simply fit into each other and connect with set screws. The installation is very intuitive. If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.
Will the track rust? Can it be used in wet environments?
The track is Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) which is often used to protect steel from corrosion in some of the harshest environments imaginable, yet it provides maintenance-free longevity for decades. The corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanizing varies according to its surroundings but generally corrodes at a rate of 1/30 of bare steel in the same environment.
