The Awning Companion is a simple to use caravan awning pole tensioner. It keeps the awning fabric tight and helps prevent accidental caravan wall damage and saggy awnings. Unlike the Hercules pole tensioner which applies leverage to the pole fittings, the Awning Companion applies pressure directly to the poles which results in much less chance of accidentally damaging the fittings.
The Awning Companion takes the strain and frustration out
of putting up your awning - extra useful on large and heavy
awnings.
Great product if you have problems with your strength or
mobility - just let the Awning Companion take the strain!

Does not lever against the pole fittings. Ratchet mechanism holds poles in the correct place, with the correct tension whilst you tighten the pole fitting. It really does make it so much easier for just one person to erect the awning and get it looking good.
Have you ever been troubled by pools of water forming on your awning roof?
Often the solution is simply to increase the tension in the awning. However, many people find it almost impossible to pull the poles apart enough, or risk damage to the awning material by over tensioning. The Awning Companion can exert a force of up to 40kg to pull the poles apart, and it does so one small increment at a time thanks to the internal ratchet mechanism. Once in the correct place just let go of the tensioner and tighten up the pole fittings.
