Who Are We?

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.

Frequently asked questions

About Global Tente,
what you wonder,
and FAQs

Sample answers on surveys, production, installation and our range; each project is clarified with a survey and quote.

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.

A bioclimatic pergola is an outdoor system with a roof of motorised rotating or adjustable aluminium louvres. The term "bioclimatic" comes from the system actively adapting to climate conditions: the louvres are set steplessly to the desired angle to manage sun, shade and ventilation together.

When the louvres open, sun and air are let in and hot air rises for natural ventilation; when closed, the EPDM gaskets at the louvre edges interlock to form a watertight roof and rain is drained through the concealed gutter system. So a bioclimatic pergola combines sun control, rain protection and ventilation in one system; it makes the outdoor space much more than a fixed sunshade, a four-season-usable living area. When the sides are closed with zip screens or glass systems and a heater is added, it is used comfortably in winter too. It is the most preferred modern outdoor solution in homes, restaurants, hotels and public spaces.

Yes, technical support after installation and after-sales service are an important part of our service. After your systems are delivered, we guide you on use and maintenance; we provide technical support when needed. In motorised systems, our service team is on hand for matters such as sensor calibration, motor adjustment, fabric tension or mechanism check.

In heavily used commercial systems (hotel, restaurant, café), fast service is critical for the uninterrupted operation of the business; so we are with you in the after-sales process. We offer renewal of worn fabric, part replacement, periodic maintenance and fault-clearing services. You can contact us when you encounter a problem or want to plan maintenance; we provide the support needed for your system to work trouble-free and with first-day performance for years. The process we run from one hand, from production to installation and service, offers single-point-of-contact assurance at every stage.

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.

Production and installation time varies by product type, dimensions, custom colour and accessory requests, and season. A standard awning or canopy can usually be completed within a few days, while projects with a bioclimatic pergola, glass systems or a combination can take a few weeks including production and installation. Custom-size, special-form (radius, etc.) or special-RAL-colour requests can extend the production time somewhat.

In busy seasons (spring-summer), as demand increases the timing can change; so we recommend planning early. After the survey and measurement, we share a clear production and installation window specific to your project in writing in the proposal and agreement; so you know from the start when the process will be completed. Installation is done by our experienced team with precise measurement and correct anchoring; when finished, water tightness and system operation are tested and it is handed over turnkey.
