Why don’t we offer  OXFORD fabric  for our shelters?

• We do not offer  inflatable tents  made of  Oxford canvas, as  the quality of this material is insufficient and unsuitable for the needs required on swimming pool construction sites.
• Under these working and construction conditions,  Oxford fabric is  too fragile and offers no resistance to abrasion and repeated use. That’s why our tents for pool installers are always made with 0.45 mm and 0.60 mm PVC casing.
• Too many problems caused by this  Oxford fabric design  (tears, abrasions, etc.). Many repairs and returns for after-sales service.
