Life Under the Shade

Eclipse Shading Systems® Partners to Create Awnings Sewn with GORE® TENARA® Threads

Hands down, GORE® TENARA®is the finest and strongest thread available to sew awning fabrics together. Each link in a chain is only as strong as the links. It’s the same way with sewing. No matter what you sew together, the item is only as strong as the thread used to tie it all together.

In fact, it is so strong that the thread will outlast most materials used […]

If the porch is where you want to spend your time, it makes sense to relax, stay cool, and protect yourself […]
