It’s a cruel Mother Nature that interrupts a romantic dinner or an important business lunch or a cherished event with an unexpected weather event. It’s a tragic shame when you can’t capitalize on the beautiful views you have on your patio, deck, or porch simply because the weather isn’t cooperating—but with the level of protection that Southern Patio Enclosures offers you, those days will be a distant memory sooner than you think.

Offer Patio Wind Protection to Wedding Parties

No couple likes to imagine their wedding day ruined by a blustery downdraft, but if they choose a wedding pavilion without patio protection, that’s a very real possibility. Adding to wedding stress is precisely the opposite goal of most venues, so offering patio wind protection can be an adding selling point to any prospective wedding party. Giardino Bertucci, a beautiful wedding pavilion, recognizes this and saw the opportunity to shield their guests from unwanted weather intrusions. Before they installed our patio wind protection, the pavilion offered rain protection but nothing to stop the wind from rattling tables and decorations as it raced through the southern side of their large outdoor space.

When they realized the potential disaster that could occur as a result of this wind damage, Giardino Bertucci called Southern Patio Enclosures. They decided on a patio enclosure wall across the southern side of their beautiful wedding pavilion, allowing them to create a strong patio wind protection for their guests while retaining the openness and view of the gorgeous gardens that is the major selling point of their venue. Being able to promise brides and grooms some protection against the elements is a major selling point for Giardino Bertucci.

Patio Protection Increases Restaurant Revenue

Location can be a charming reason to visit a restaurant, but that location can add some challenging weather-related problems as well. Two of our favorite restaurants, Hula Hut and Petra Mexican, both suffered from this double-edged location sword. The Hula Hut, which overlooks Lake Austin, often lost customers because of the cold wind that consistently radiated off the water. After investing in patio enclosures, Hula Hut noticed the difference not only in how many customers were coming through the doors but how many were staying, especially on the patio.

Petra Mexican is situated in between two buildings, creating a wind tunnel effect on their patio. With limited indoor seating space, Petra Mexican was consistently losing customers who wouldn’t sit where there was no protection. A chilly, breezy patio is no fun when you’re trying to enjoy a taco. But with new enclosures that are customized to fit with and blend into Petra Mexican’s décor, they are seating between 70-85 additional customers on their patio year round. The patio wind protection from our enclosures protect customers during spring and summer and the enclosures offer additional protection against wind and rain in fall and winter.
