Global Tente is an Istanbul-based production and installation brand, headquartered in Kartal, specialising in awnings, tarpaulins and shading systems with over 20 years of experience. Since our founding we have worked with a single purpose: to turn open areas into durable and aesthetic spaces that can be lived in with four-season comfort. With quality materials, sound engineering and a customer-focused service approach, we turn your terrace or your business’s outdoor space into a genuine living area.
At the heart of our product range are modern outdoor roof systems. Alongside bioclimatic pergola systems that manage sun, shade, rain and ventilation from one hand with their adjustable aluminium louvres, we offer motorised fabric roofs (rolling roof) and custom-designed pergola solutions. With the guillotine glass, sliding glass, folding glass and zip screen applications that complement these systems, we close the sides of the outdoor space too, keeping the area sheltered in any weather; and with our awning and canopy solutions, we also meet economical and flexible shading needs.
What makes Global Tente different is that it runs the whole job from one hand. Every project starts with a free survey at your area; we evaluate the dimensions, façade, wind load and your usage scenario together and recommend the system most suitable for your need. Thanks to our own production infrastructure, we produce the systems to your area’s exact dimensions, install them precisely with our experienced team and deliver them turnkey. The materials we use are chosen of proven quality, to withstand outdoor weather and long years.
Our strong position in the sector and our innovative approach have made us a brand preferred not just across Turkey but in overseas projects too. Our selected products are also available to customers at Bauhaus stores. From homes to commercial businesses, from public projects to export, we produce solutions that combine aesthetics and functionality at every scale.
For us, the success of a project shows not on delivery day, but when it still works years later with first-day performance and our customer is still satisfied. Because customer satisfaction is always our priority. If you want to turn your outdoor space into a four-season-livable, comfortable and valuable area, simply contact us for a free survey.
At GlobalTente, our mission is to turn people's open areas into four-season-livable, comfortable, safe and aesthetic living spaces. We believe that turning a terrace, garden or business outdoor space from an idle area that retracts in rain or overheats in summer into a living space used with pleasure in any weather directly increases people's quality of life.
At GlobalTente, our vision is, while continuing to be one of Turkey's most reliable and innovative brands in the field of outdoor systems, to grow our place in the European market with our quality production. We aim to be the pioneer of technology-integrated, sustainable and aesthetic solutions that redefine the relationship people have with the open air.
An outdoor system is an important investment you will use for years; the success of this investment starts with choosing the right partner. Although there are many companies on the market, GlobalTente clearly makes the difference with its own production infrastructure, engineering-based approach, transparent service understanding and strong after-sales support.
Sample answers on surveys, production, installation and our range; each project is clarified with a survey and quote.
A classic awning and a pergola are two solutions that serve different needs. A classic awning is a shade-focused system based on extending and retracting a fabric; it is light, economical and can be retracted when wanted. But a classic awning mostly only cuts the sun; it may need retracting in heavy rain and offers no side enclosure.
A pergola is a more integrated and permanent outdoor solution. With its load-bearing aluminium structure, a defined roof line and optional motorisation, a pergola turns the outdoor space into a four-season-usable living area. A bioclimatic pergola in particular controls sun, shade, rain and ventilation in one system with its adjustable louvres; when the louvres close they form a watertight roof. When the sides are closed with zip screens or glass systems, the area under the pergola turns into a fully sheltered volume. In short: for an economical, infrequently used shade an awning; for four-season use, rain protection and an integrated outdoor room, a pergola is preferred.
We offer manufacturer and workmanship warranty by product line; the warranty terms are clearly stated in the proposal and agreement. In general, a certain period of warranty is given on the aluminium construction and the mechanism (motor, louvre system); manufacturer assurance applies to components such as fabric and glass. The warranty covers material and workmanship defects.
Our systems are designed to be low maintenance. For a bioclimatic pergola, cleaning the louvres and gutter channels once or twice a year and checking the motor and gaskets; for glass systems, cleaning the rails and wiping the glass; for an awning, not retracting the fabric while wet and regular cleaning is enough. We share periodic maintenance recommendations at delivery and guide you for longevity. We also provide maintenance, adjustment, fabric renewal and part replacement support through after-sales service when needed; so your system works with first-day performance for years.
Our free site survey is a comprehensive preliminary study to plan your project correctly. Within this scope, we first take on-site measurements; we evaluate the façade geometry, the capacity of the load-bearing structure (wall, column, floor) and the water-drainage routes. We analyse the orientation, view and prevailing wind of your space and how you want to use it (seating, dining, resting). Then we recommend the system most suitable for your area's climate conditions and need (bioclimatic pergola, glass systems, zip screen, awning or a combination of these).
During the survey we provide clear upfront information considering technical details such as wind load, snow load and water insulation, and we guide you on fabric, glass and colour options. The survey is completely free and not binding. For clear pricing, after the survey an itemised written quotation based on the dimensions and system details is prepared. This approach lets you make the right investment by preventing surprises such as wrong measurements or an incompatible system choice.
A rolling roof (retractable fabric roof) is a system made of a technical fabric roof that opens and retracts by motor. With its ability to span wide openings column-free, its lightweight structure and being almost invisible when fully open, it is ideal for terraces, restaurant gardens, cafés and wide event areas.
A rolling roof cuts sun and rain when the fabric opens; when retracted it leaves the sky fully open. With waterproof PVC fabric and the right slope, rain control is also provided. For spaces wanting a wide, column-free shade area and preferring a soft and light aesthetic, a rolling roof stands out. For a priority on flexible shade control and natural ventilation, a bioclimatic (louvered) pergola is considered, because the louvres adjust the amount of shade more precisely in intermediate positions. Which system is suitable is determined during the survey according to the space's size, climate and usage expectation. Both systems can be used together for different areas in large projects.
Yes, we can carry out surveys and installations across Turkey on a project basis. For residential, commercial and public projects, planning is done by evaluating distance and logistics conditions at the offer stage. We have previously completed projects in many locations outside Istanbul, such as Izmir (Bergama), Eskişehir and Şile; we have also carried out overseas export projects such as to France.
In projects outside Istanbul, production is done in our own manufacturing infrastructure and our installation team goes to the site; logistics and installation conditions are stated transparently in the offer according to the distance. In overseas export projects, the system can be prepared complete, without installation, compliant with European standards and handed over to customs. If you share your project's location with us, we will offer you the most suitable survey and application plan.
