Magnetic patio shading for a glass roof

For his glass roof on his terrace, our customer wanted a reliable hold for the fabric panels of his shading system.

Magnetic patio shading for a glass roof

For the terrace, a fabric material is folded at regular intervals under a glass roof.

The creation and use of the magnetic shading system was very simple, as the customer only needed 7 disc magnet Ø 25.0 x 5.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 900 g and matching eyelets were needed.

Please pay attention to the polarity of the respective discs when using the magnets, as unwanted repulsion can occur during processing if two identical poles meet!

To achieve the desired hold of the fabric panels, the customer implemented his idea as follows:

• He sewed a pocket into the bellows of the fabric panels to insert the magnets.
• He then pushed the fabric panels together, which adhere reliably thanks to the sewn-in magnets.
• The upper edge of the folds was then sewn and provided with eyelets.
• A tensioning cable for the fabric panels runs through these eyelets.
• The aim is that the folds do not open again when pushed together and that when extended, the pulling force is not so great that it could cause damage to the fabric.
