Awning pole tensioner

Anybody used the above? Any good?

I used one I think it was called “Hercules” by Isabella but used on Dorema as well. Useful just to get that little bit of extra ***.

I seen that one, also one's on the bay a lot cheaper and looks OK 👍

Isabellas are very strong. Their Hercules tensioners reflect that. If use one on another make be gentle😉

I have the Isabella pole tensioner which I believe is the Hercules model. I didn’t realise you can’t use these on fibreglass poles so it’s still new and never used. I will be selling this once I returned from my holiday on my Vinted shop. I paid £30 and will be selling it for £15. My store name is Sarah-styles. Look out for it in a couple of weeks…You’ll get a bargain!

I believe if you use it over enthusiastically on an older awning, you could rip it apart.

Several Isabella video demonstrates the tensioner being used on Isabella carbon fibre poled awning s?

My Isabella poles were carbon fibre and I never had any qualms about using the Hercules tensioner. You are always in control of tension force being applied and in most cases it is just an extra bit
to get that extra smidgeon of tension in to the frame.

I think my Izzy got one but are they easy to use, maybe first time take care and be gentle .

I have one. Only ever needed it on the full size Izzy awning. Absolutely essential ,to get the tension correct.The Magnum porch doesn’t need it unless you are not very strong or have a disability.
The Izzy carbon x fibre poles are allegedly stronger than the ally or steel ones.

They are easy to use and do take the strain out of tensioning.

I have very strong hands and always used my thumbs, last year we brought a Isabella porch awning, the tensioner came free, I tried it and cannot how taught the awning canvas became, very impressed.
