FAQ: Why does GenTent use plastic for the clamps? | GenTent Safety Canopies

Why do you use plastic for the clamps?

We use high-strength plastic for our clamps and other hardware because it offers the durability and resilience needed to withstand tough weather—like strong winds and heavy snow.

Our current plastic components, such as the clamps, are made from flame-retardant, high-impact-resistant materials that meet UL-94 V0 standards for safety.

As we continue to evolve our product with new components and designs, plastic remains a reliable, engineered choice for strength, safety, and performance.
