DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Tension Ridge lifts the pole apex outward, giving taller doors and boxier headroom. Symmetry, colour-coded poles, multiple pitch modes and adjustable stake-outs are unusually refined UX.

LONGEVITY

Recycled 68D textile and DAC hardware are selected for regular use; dry the polyester/PeU assembly and inspect hub joints and guy lines. The included groundsheet reduces floor wear.
