Technical details of our textiles
Ecotent products are made from resistant fabrics with documented technical properties. Our experienced seamstresses and tailors turn them into roofs that offer protection for many occasions.
Tested to EN 20811
The fabrics used for Ecotent pop-up gazebos have been tested for water resistance to EN 20811. The test measures how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before water starts to penetrate.
The water column varies depending on the fabric. Our fabric comparison shows the values for each option, helping you choose the right fabric for your pop-up gazebo.
Oxford 500D and 250D under EN 13501-1:2018
The Oxford 500D and Oxford 250D fabrics (fire-retardant version) were tested by the institute Efectis Nederland BV and classified as fire class B-s1, d0 under EN 13501-1:2018. They are therefore considered flame-retardant.
Public events and trade fairs often require proof of fire behaviour. You will find the documents in the certificate folder on the page about warranties and certificates. Direct contact with open flames must still always be avoided.
UPF 50+ for sunny days outdoors
The Oxford 500D and Oxford 250D fabrics of Ecotent pop-up gazebos offer a UV protection factor of UPF 50+. They provide shade and help protect people, products and seating areas from intense sunlight. A pop-up gazebo does not replace full personal sun protection, however.
Tested for fading in sunlight
The colour fastness of the Ecotent fabrics was tested under DIN EN ISO 105-B02 and DIN EN ISO 105-A02. The test measures how resistant the colours are to artificial light that corresponds to natural daylight.
The values differ depending on the fabric and are listed in the fabric comparison. This is particularly important for coloured roofs, sidewalls and printed pop-up gazebos.
Test reports, REACH and Global Recycled Standard
For Ecotent pop-up gazebos and materials there are test reports, declarations and certificates, for example on fire behaviour, UV protection and printing inks. The materials used are REACH-compliant, and a declaration of conformity is available.
For the Recycled fabric there is also a certificate under the Global Recycled Standard from Control Union, within the scope of the respective certificate. You will find all documents in the certificate folder.
