The Perfect Aesthetic Finish

The extraordinary flat shape of the ABT® System exhibits the perfect aesthetic finish exceeding all other types of mechanical tensioning systems in terms of presentation and design. Your neighbors will marvel at the clean lines and beautiful finish of your Eclipse Retractable Awning.

Greater Protection

The ABT® System’s PVC covering completely eliminates the erosion of paint and parts caused by cables and chains. This keeps your awning looking beautiful and free from corrosion for years and years.

Stronger, More Resistant, More Durable

The ABT® System consists of nine stainless steel cables fully encompassed in a poly carbon UV resistant (PVC) covering. This flat flexible belt improves the arms’ tension transmission, thereby, providing more strength and durability than any other system. The result is a tighter fabric for the best-looking, highest performing awning…period!

Longer Lasting equals Longer Enjoyment

The chemical stability of the ABT® together with its’ mechanical resistance features, result in a useful life unheard of before the introduction of ABT®. Our Advanced Belt Technology has been cycle tested to last an incredible 60,000 cycles. (A cycle is one time out and then back in.)
