Does your restaurant need an awning?

Are you looking forlornly at your restaurant’s garden or patio and wondering how you can transform it from a wasted space into a useable area that brings you extra revenue?

With winter approaching this may seem like an even bigger challenge and possibly one that can wait until the spring. However, there is a simple solution that will allow you to place extra tables outside – and ensure your customers will want to use them even in the colder months. 

Restaurant awnings are great for smaller spaces

A garden or patio awning is a versatile shading solution that provides cover under a continuous sheet of material, usually waterproof canvas or acrylic, and attached to the side of a building via a cassette. When it’s not needed, the awning folds neatly away in the cassette and can be quickly and easily extended when in use. At Broadview, all our awnings also come in a large selection of styles, fabrics and colours and can even be personalised with customisation of your choosing to create a seamless brand image. 

An awning is ideal for a restaurant with a smaller outside space and is often placed over a patio or the entrance to the building to allow for extra tables. You may be thinking at this stage ‘but awnings are for summer!’ and you are quite right, of course. However, awnings provide excellent cover and protection from all weather conditions, not just the summer sun (especially when you add integrated heaters and LED lighting to your awning). 

Make a statement with an outdoor structure

Looking for something with a little more pizazz? An outdoor structure is a stunning, permanent fixture in your restaurant’s garden that allows your customers to experience al-fresco dining all year round. With a louvred roof that can be opened and closed at the touch of a button depending on the weather and gorgeous sliding glass panels that can completely enclose the space without obstructing the view, restaurant outdoor structures provide the ultimate dining experience. 

Made to the exact requirements of your restaurant’s garden and boasting lots of great features, such as retracting roofs and folding windows, Broadview’s outdoor structures offer you complete flexibility that just can’t be replicated by a building extension or conservatory. Just like garden awnings, outdoor structures can also come complete with built-in heaters and LED lighting to create a cosy, warm and welcoming atmosphere that can be enjoyed no matter the weather. 

Broadview Outdoor Shading Solutions has been providing restaurants with awnings and outdoor structures for the past 50 years and has earned a fantastic reputation for workmanship, quality products and customer service.
