Pair Your Restaurant Patio Enclosure with Heating and Cooling

When you invest in a restaurant patio enclosure, you’re banking on the fact that you can extend the life of your outdoor space. Being able to use your patio during more of the year means more revenue and more happy customers—unless the weather makes it impossible to bear, even with the enclosure. Summer heat with a patio misting system makes outdoor dining enjoyable, and winter chill with gas or electric heaters is made much more possible with our patio enclosures. Pairing your restaurant enclosure with a simple patio misting system or heater, to keep the temperature stable, and you have created a winning profit-boosting combination.

Kill the Summer Heat

We’re in Texas, and Texas is hot. If you’ve been here for the summer months, you know that saying Texas is hot is like saying the universe is big—it’s an understatement of immense proportions. But the reality is that, for much of the country, the late spring, summer, and early fall months bring difficult conditions for restaurants with outdoor spaces. It’s just too hot to sit outside, which causes crowding inside and limits the amount of money that you can make.

Our patio enclosures can help, especially when partnered with our sun shade porch enclosure product. With that, 90% of the sun’s rays are blocked and, with that, much of the glare and heat. But imagine the potential of a patio misting system working with your patio enclosure. If you’re not familiar with patio misting systems, you may think we mean that you should make it rain inside your patio. No—patio misting systems use a high pressure evaporative cooling patio misting system to reduce the temperature without getting anyone damp. Here at Southern Patio Enclosures, we are big fans of the work of our friends at Jet Stream Outdoor Cooling. Their patio misting systems offer restaurant owners options for keeping their patios cool and we think that patio misting systems make a perfect partner with our vinyl patio enclosures.

Once you have cooled your outdoor space to the temperature most comfortable for your guests with the use of a patio misting system, you will transform your outdoor area into a place that your guests and customers will love. A patio that’s loved is a place that will be visited often, making your patio misting system a worthwhile investment and one that will help you maximize your profit. Pair that patio misting system with our patio enclosure and you’ll be able to keep the temperature stable. Durable vinyl walls make for a great insulator—and that works to maximize the energy efficiency of patio misting systems as well.

Keep the Outdoors Cozy in Winter

 Though an outdoor patio can be heated effectively without an enclosure with electric heaters or gas tube heaters, imagine how much more efficiently you could do so with the added help of a durable vinyl restaurant patio enclosure. From the moment that you unroll the vinyl curtain, the temperature on your restaurant’s patio or deck will rise by at least ten degrees. The vinyl curtains also work as a fantastic wind block, which is especially important in the chilly winter months. One of the most difficult parts of seating guests on outdoor patios during the winter is the potential for a stiff breeze to drop the temperature by 10 to 20 degrees immediately. Though heaters can help with the overall temperature, they can’t keep the wind at bay—but a restaurant patio enclosure can.

With the addition of a patio enclosure, your outdoor seating area can become an energy efficient zone. Rather than having to run large heaters constantly, which use a tremendous amount of energy, you can heat the space once and maintain the temperature much more easily because it is enclosed. Turning off the heaters throughout the day, or using them only to boost the temperature once in a while, will help your energy bills stay lower and therefore maximize your profit margin as well.
