Stronger and lighter poles from Isabella | |
 | |
Europe’s leading awning manufacturer, Isabella, situated in Vejle, Denmark has further developed the traditional fibreglass tent poles and made them stronger and lighter, especially for touring campers. The new poles have been named CarbonX. CarbonX is the result of many years of development work. By combining the high flexibility of fibreglass with extremely strong carbon fibres – carbon fibres are 4-5 times stronger than steel – Isabella has produced an up until now unknown combination of flexibility and strength, whilst at the same time significantly reducing the total weight of a set of awning poles. In 1985 Isabella launched its fibreglass awning poles. They were marketed under the name IXL. Since then they have been second to none. The new CarbonX poles are manufactured exclusively for Isabella’s own products. The new poles also fit the previously produced awnings with fibreglass poles. Due to their extreme light weight and their comparable strength, the new poles will no doubt mean increased competition for the traditional and slightly cheaper steel poles. The fibreglass products have a number of other advantages. Many campers prefer the fibreglass poles because they are more pleasant to the touch. Moreover, fibreglass is a “warm” material and therefore causes less condensation. The fibreglass poles are also corrosion-resistant, easy to | |||||||||
maintain and easily assembled. The CarbonX poles are characterised by their charcoal grey colour with dark grey adjustment fittings. As with Isabella’s previous IXL fibreglass poles, CarbonX can also be used with the company’s Zenith and SunBlue sun canopies. This means that the CarbonX poles can be used for your awning as well as your sun canopy. | |||||||||

Increased strength and reduced weight make CarbonX tent poles most interesting – especially for touring campers. | |||||||||
