Exclusive awnings
from the yachting experts

Innovative awnings in sailmaker quality

BARTELS has been producing furling jib and furling systems for sailing yachts from renowned shipyards around the world for over 50 years. We have been successfully using this experience for over 20 years in the development and production of our SunFurl awning systems.
Our range extends from simple systems in which the sunsail is manually furled and unfurled between a jib furler and a swivel, to electrically operated systems with wind monitors and radio control.
SunFurl awnings are individually planned and manufactured from high-quality materials by experienced sailmakers. With all sun sails, you can enjoy sun protection with a feel-good atmosphere for you, your family and your guests.

Flexible solutions for beautiful shade

Whether you are looking for sun protection for the outdoor area of a restaurant or want to shade a private patio or balcony: BARTELS offers you high-quality sun protection with its SunFurl awnings. Our shading solutions conjure up a maritime flair on your patio.
We offer individually planned sun protection, rain protection and privacy protection for catering establishments with an area of up to 100 m² with just four fastenings. This means that awnings offer more sun protection than an awning or parasol can. They can be rolled up manually or electrically, or fixed.
Fixed systems in combination with a mesh sail (SolMesh 340) offer the ideal solution for nurseries and schools.
