Protect Your Customers from High Winds

/in , , , , , , /by

If you’re looking for ways to increase your revenue this year, installing a commercial-strength patio enclosure should be your first choice! Many think these systems can only be used as protection against the cold weather, but they can also block harsh winds and rain during the springtime. Here’s how patio enclosures have helped restaurants and businesses across the country keep their patios full even during uncooperative weather:

Full Protection from the Weather Year-Round red enclosures clear vinyl window commercial product outside view restaurant patio manual roller shades

Don’t lose revenue by having to close down your outdoor seating area because of the upcoming rainy and windy seasons. At Southern Patio Enclosures, our commercial window panels are made with tough PVC vinyl, offering protection against all elements and built to handle daily use for many years. The tracks of our systems are made from extruded-aluminum, expertly manufactured so that the curtains don’t get caught when deployed, making them last longer than any competitor.

Maximum Wind Resistance – Even Against Hurricane Winds

If your business is along the coast, then you are well-familiar with the strong winds that blow away napkins and tablecloths, discouraging customers from sitting outside. Our windscreens can easily help stop the chaos of having high winds disrupt your dining patrons’ experience. Our manual windscreens offer wind protection against 45 mph and our motorized screens are strong enough to endure up to 65 mph winds. For extreme protection, our screens can also be manufactured to be hurricane resistant, withstanding winds of up to 120 mph.

Clear Views of Surrounding Landscape

Worried that installing a windscreen will block the scenic view surrounding your business? Our panels are made with clear vinyl material, allowing customers to enjoy an unobstructed view of your landscape with full protection from the elements. Every product we make is built to your space’s specifications and customized to meet its design.

Maintaining Your Cafe Blinds is a Simple Process

/0 Comments/in /by

Maintaining Your Cafe Blinds is a Simple Process. It can be daunting to think about the maintenance of your cafe blinds, but our process is worry-free.

When you make an investment in a piece of equipment for your business, you likely make it a point to keep that piece of equipment well-maintained and working well. When you’ve designed an option to keep your outdoor space protected from the elements and have installed it, with an eye toward maintaining the view, the last thing you want is to damage it with a poor maintenance record. We’ve made the system as fool-proof as possible.

Two Simple Steps Keeps Your Cafe Blinds Pristine

No expensive special equipment is needed to keep your clear vinyl outdoor blinds clear. With a simple wood mop, which is normally made of microfiber and is the same sort of mop you might use on your hardwood floors at home, and some simply vinyl cleaner, you can keep your outdoor blinds clean and well-maintained.

Our Cafe Blinds at Matt's Rancho in Colleyville, Texas.

Our Cafe Blinds at Matt’s Rancho in Colleyville, Texas.

Why do you need to invest in these small but important tools? Why can’t you just use what you have purchased for the rest of the maintenance of your business? Vinyl cleaner, which can be found at your local hardware or marine store or even online, is necessary to keep your vinyl from becoming cloudy or scratched. Other products or cleaning processes will corrupt the strength and clarity of our welded clear vinyl outdoor blinds.

Maintenance Process is Simple With Our Outdoor Blinds

All you need to do, every three months, is spray the vinyl cleaner on the mop and swipe it across your vinyl cafe blinds. Make sure that you wipe the inside and the outside of your enclosures, to loosen any debris that has accumulated and to keep the view so beautiful. You really don’t have to do this frequently—put it on your quarterly to-do list, set an alarm in your phone, or otherwise get into a rhythm and your outdoor blinds will thank you.

Finance Your Patio Enclosures and Café Blinds with Vend Lease

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Whether you are a small business owner or managing a large corporate location, patio enclosures are an important investment in your overall profitability. When you can keep your outdoor space protected, comfortable, and full of paying customers, you improve your bottom line. But a large investment can sometimes be difficult to handle all at one time, and we understand that. That’s why we are proud to partner with Vend Lease, a direct lender that specializes in adapting to small businesses, start-ups, and companies who need a different approach in financing.

Flexible Financing for Your Patio Enclosures

When you speak with our design team and decide on your customized café blinds, you might not be thinking about how you can customize your financing as well. But Vend Lease does exactly that. Understanding your need to control the cash flow in your business, financing does not require large down payments and Vend Lease can offer you seasonal payment plans, deferred payments, or step or skip plans. Vend Lease’s goal is to help you maximize your cash flow and your profitable seasons to help you order, install, and start using your patio enclosures as quickly as possible.

Vend Lease is a direct lender, so that means your application for patio enclosures and café blinds will be assessed quickly. A small family-owned restaurant in Round Rock, TX that needs cafe blinds for their outdoor patio will get the same quick approval that a large hotel in Georgetown, TX might. No dollar or term restrictions are a part of your package, so you don’t have to worry if you are a brand new or small business.

Adaptable Account Options for Ordering Your Patio Enclosures

One of the things that sets Vend Lease apart, besides their friendly approach to complicated business situations, is their adaptable account options. What does that mean? Let’s say you order a set of patio enclosures and then decide to add café blinds that block 90% of the summer heat and glare and can be used independently from the patio enclosures that serve as a strong barrier against inclement weather throughout the year. Rather than having to create two accounts, one for patio enclosures and one for café blinds, you can add multiple suppliers onto one account or even add on to an existing account. This flexible financing offers your business tremendous flexibility as well as the luxury of time. You can carefully decide what options work best for your location, without feeling pressured to make a hasty decision or lose the opportunity for financing.

Vend Lease also encourages early payoffs by removing all penalties against pre-payment or early buyouts. In fact, early buyouts are discounted to customers, making financing your cafe blinds more comfortable for people who want to quickly pay off their accounts. Don’t like the idea of having a payment hanging over your head? Install your cafe blinds and enter your busy season in Sun City, TX prepared to maximize your outdoor spaces and reap the rewards. With a busier season and no change in available seating or entertaining space, you can maximize your profit margin and put all of that money toward your Vend Lease with zero penalty!

Customize Your Patio Enclosures, Customize Your Financing

Any worries you might have about customizing your cafe blinds and automatic outdoor sun shades with Southern Patio Enclosures will change to excitement when you chat with one of our customer service specialists. One of our experts, each with years of experience in the business, will walk you through the options and help you determine not only the right products for your location, but also the financing plan that works best for your unique circumstances.

Vinyl Patio Enclosures Are What We Do—And We’re Very Good At What We Do

/0 Comments/in , /by

Great vinyl patio enclosures aren’t something that just anybody can build, and we build the best

Mamas often teach you to be humble. With all due respect, it’s time to ignore that advice.

Southern Patio Enclosures is a Texas family business, selling the strongest patio enclosure product on the market to customers who value their homes and businesses enough to invest wisely. Our product, which is manufactured deep in the heart of Texas, is superior in strength and durability, and its customizable options make it the perfect option for nearly any home or business.

Vinyl Patio Enclosures Should Weather the Weather

We’ve had the opportunity to work with many clients who are skeptical about our product—mostly because they’ve had negative experiences with a competitor’s patio enclosure. They’ve invested time and money with the hope that they will have an outdoor space secure from wind, rain, and uncomfortable weather. But what they find is that an unexpected wind gust or even just the stress of normal wear and tear on the perforated stitching that joins the clear vinyl causes those patio enclosures to fail. Our product is different—from the very beginning. We choose a vinyl that is the toughest PVC quality, and we manufacture it using a welding process that eliminates these stress points that can cause failure.

Vinyl Patio Enclosures Should Protect You and Your Space

Our vinyl patio enclosures, because they are customized to fit your unique space, also create a tight fit that protects against mild wind, rain and snow, and the kinds of frigid temperatures that leave you cringing at your power bill. You’ll be protected against the weather that might ruin you or your furnishings, and you’ll notice a ten-degree difference in the temperature. The ability to also customize your patio enclosure kits to your specific design needs is an added, but important, perk.

Let’s face it—we’re amazing at what we do. Our commitment to our customers and their satisfaction takes that excellence to a whole other level. We stand behind our products, and back that confidence with a warranty, and are always happy to assist our customers to create the enclosure that they want, need, and deserve. Give us a call and let us send you a free estimate—we are excited to earn your business.

Charlotte NC Patio Dinners Just Got A Lot More Interesting

Bradshaw Social House’s new patio makeover makes eating there even better—which was pretty hard to do!

If you live anywhere near Charlotte, you know about the Bradshaw Social House. You know the amazing ambiance, the delicious local-sourced food, and the incredible craft beers. You know that it’s the place to meet, greet, and eat—and you know that it’s not always easy to find a seat. No more!

Charlotte Patio Enclosure Maximizes Space

Bradshaw Social House’s choice to enclose their unique patio space has allowed them to not only increase its usability but also to allow more friends to have more fun in their festive and comfortable environment. The unique patio space deserves to be used every single day of the year, but because of its openness was left unusable for nearly one-third of the year. One hundred days of losing 50 seats can make quite a dent in the cash register, but with the new patio, that’s not a problem.

The Bradshaw Social House in Charlotte, North Carolina now has the most amazing patio in town—and they can keep those garage doors open all year round. This Charlotte patio won’t be affected by rain or wind—or even forced to stay closed during beautiful weather! On lovely days, the flexibility of this unique Charlotte NC patio enclosure means that the patio can be an open-air seating area whenever the weather allows.

Bradshaw Social House’s Wise Investment

More tables in use all year long with our restaurant porch enclosures.

Restaurant Patio Enclosures will go a long way to improve table turn.

With a three-year warranty against manufacturer defects and a small-town, handshake approach to customer service, Southern Patio Enclosures was a wise choice for this North Carolina destination. Their enclosure is not only immediately helping them gather a return on their investment, but it’s a flexible, durable, and smart approach to a problem that may have seemed unsolvable. How can you keep your unique design and your customers comfortable? How can you keep the patio open when the heaters aren’t working? These types of questions can be perplexing.

When “traditional” routes fail, why not take a forward thinking one? That’s what the Bradshaw Social House in Charlotte has done—and we know they will reap the rewards.


Our cafe blind systems can also include customized doors.

What is A Four Season Patio? ROI—that’s what it is.

/0 Comments/in /by

Commercial Four Season Patio ROI

Much as we might want to believe ourselves rugged enough to handle any season when we’re outside, enjoying a meal or entertaining clients, but the reality is that many of us long for a protected space that will allow us to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without any of the inconvenience. A four season patio does just that—it keeps the outdoors where you want it while offering a beautiful, durable, adaptable space for business.

Four Season Patios Adapt to—and Protect From—the Weather

If you’ve been considering adding a sunroom, you may have hesitated because of the cost or, more likely, because of the permanence. A sunroom is a forever sort of change, an addition to your business that doesn’t lend itself to adaptability. Even with the addition, you’ll still need to consider sun protection to eliminate glare and heat.

With Southern Patio Enclosures, you’ll have the best of every season—truly. With our clear vinyl patio enclosures, you’ll have the opportunity to maximize whatever you want—in the dog days of summer, our vinyl will protect from afternoon thunderstorms and keep pesky bugs out, and with the addition of our sun shade protection will block up to 96% of the sun’s rays (and the associated heat and glare!). In the dead of winter, our durable vinyl patio panels will protect against rain, wind (up to 45 mph for our standard enclosures or 65 mph for our high wind motorized model), and cold, raising the temperature of your four season patio up to ten degrees simply by lowering the enclosure walls.

This Four Season Patio Gives You Options

But what about those lovely spring days and fall afternoons when all you want to see, smell, and feel is the breeze on your face or the chill in the air? When you’re adding a sunroom, you may lose out on some of that. You can certainly open the windows, but you can’t turn your patio back into an open air entertaining space—unless you create a four season porch with Southern Patio Enclosures. Our screens can be easily retracted or even removed during weather that is too beautiful to miss, allowing you to not only maximize your options but truly enjoy your space in every kind of weather.

Durable, Long Lasting Vinyl Makes This Four Season Patio A Star

Southern Patio Enclosures is not like every other patio canopy or vinyl patio curtain retailer. We are a Texas-based company with a product made in the USA—and we pride ourselves on having the most durable product on the market. Our manufacturing process sets us apart from our competitors, and the key is in the way we weld our clear vinyl together. Other vinyl enclosure manufacturers use a stitching process that perforates the vinyl, much the way a piece of notebook paper is perforated for easy removal from the notebook. When those patio enclosures are subjected to the normal strain that weather and time place on them, they often fail at those stitched points, leaving customers with an patio that is as unprotected as it ever was.

That’s not the Southern Patio Enclosures way. We stand behind our durable product, working with you to create not only a beautiful four season patio but also one that perfectly fits your space and décor. Everything about our four season patios are customizable, from color to the way the clear vinyl highlights (or obscures) your views. Your patio is in your hands—and we work to make it the most beautiful place you can imagine.

If you’re considering adding a sunroom, consider a four season patio with Southern Patio Enclosures instead. You’ll quickly see—and appreciate—the difference.

Embrace the Flexibility of a Complete Patio Solution

/0 Comments/in , /by

When you are investigating the options available to you for your patio or porch, you may encounter some options that may work for some of the year and others that would be fine for another season. What you want, though, is what Southern Patio Enclosures can provide—an adaptable, flexible, and completely customizable patio solution that will allow you to maximize your patio enclosure use all year round.

Use Your Patio Solution When You Need It

The ease of use with our patio enclosures make adapting to the day’s weather a snap. In those in-between seasons, fall and spring, the weather can be as unpredictable as it is beautiful. But that unpredictability can also make it difficult to know if you should close up your deck for the winter or drag the patio furniture out of storage in the springtime. Our patio enclosures take the guesswork out of that decision making.

On the beautiful days that inevitably come between fall cold snaps and spring snows, simply retract your patio enclosure by making use of the easy-to-use rope and pulley system or, even better, the hand crank or the motorized push button of our High Wind Patio Solutions. Late season cold front or an early frost in the fall? Easily drop the patio enclosures to experience an instant 10 degree difference in temperature. Add a small space heater and your patio becomes a comfortable extension of your living room

Separate Your Complete Patio Enclosure Solution to Maximize Your Benefit

When you install a complete patio enclosure solution in your outdoor space, including a patio enclosure and a patio sun shade, they work together to block the wind, rain, and cold as well as the glare and heat of summer sun. If the spring sunshine offers lovely temperatures but too much glare, roll up or remove the patio enclosures but leave the sun shade in place. If the fall sunshine is less invasive but the chill of autumn has you shivering, retract the sun shade so you can enjoy the sunshine through beautifully colored leaves but keep that outdoor space well-protected from chilly winds with your patio enclosure.

Adapt the Patio Enclosure to Your Space

With Southern Patio Enclosures, you can create a patio enclosure that perfectly suits your space and your individual needs. We can create perfect patio enclosure solutions for your home or business. Need a small enclosed smoking room for your restaurant or meeting place to keep customers comfortable inside and out? Our patio enclosures can help. Need a complete patio solution for your gazebo or deck? We can help.

We create custom patio enclosures for each customer, because one size fits all won’t do for you. You can decide to enclose all of your outdoor space or just some of it, depending on your needs. We also allow you to customize your use of clear vinyl windows—create a huge window to highlight the views that attracts customers to your business or create a colored vinyl wall to prevent customers or guests from seeing a less-attractive location. Whatever you need, we will customize your patio enclosure to meet those needs.

Let Southern Patio Enclosures help you create an outdoor space that you can enjoy all year round. Let us discuss your options with you, along with the customizable options that will allow you to be as flexible as possible in your enjoyment of our patio enclosures. Remember we can ship across the country to you if you are in Kansas City, Springfield, Des Moines, Chicago or anywhere in between!

Reaping the Benefits of High Wind Motorized Patio Enclosures

/3 Comments/in , , , , /by

Enjoy the ease, strength, and impressive durability of our vinyl patio enclosures all year long.

High Wind Motorized Patio Enclosures Make Life Easy

While all of our patio enclosures are easy to lower and retract, our High Wind Motorized Patio Enclosures offer a motorized option that make transforming your outdoor space into a comfortable, protected space easier than ever. With the push of a button, your customized vinyl patio enclosure walls will lower or retract, sealing out the cold or rain and sealing in your comfortable, protected space.

No Stitching Makes our High Wind Patio Enclosures the Strongest on the Market

Southern Patio Enclosures offers the most durable vinyl patio enclosure product on the market. Our competitors use stitching to join pieces of clear vinyl together, to create the windows of their patio enclosures, as well as to join their clear vinyl to their colored vinyl. While this stitching process may seem logical—who hasn’t hemmed some pants or sewed a seam?—in a patio enclosure it creates structural weak points that can become devastating. When the regular stresses of normal weather exert force on those weak points, they have the very real potential of tearing, leaving your patio enclosure investment shredded and completely unusable.

Our RF weld manufacturing process changes everything. Rather than stitch our clear vinyl together, we use radio frequency welding to bond the clear vinyl pieces together and the clear vinyl pieces to the colored vinyl borders. This bonding process makes our high wind motorized patio enclosures virtually tear-proof. With the High Wind Patio Enclosures, no stitching at all ensures their strength and durability in the face of higher wind gusts. You can rest assured that your patio enclosure investment is the strongest of its kind on the market.

High Wind Patio Enclosures Can Withstand Strong Wind Gusts

If you live in a windy climate or an area prone to sudden storms, you know that wind gusts can come out of the blue. While we urge you to retract and secure your patio enclosures during strong storms, sometimes a strong wind can surprise you, even from a mild rainstorm or breezy fall day. With the High Wind Patio Enclosure from Southern Patio Enclosures, you don’t need to worry that your clear vinyl patio enclosure will buckle under the strain. Our High Wind Patio Enclosures can withstand wind gusts up to 65 mph—and we’ve seen this amazing product tested on the windy plains of Texas. Your outdoor space and your investment will be protected with our High Wind Patio Enclosures.

Get a Free Estimate from Southern Patio Enclosures

If you have a business with an outdoor space that’s just waiting for more customer use, or a home in a windy climate that you’d like to better utilize all year long, contact Southern Patio Enclosures for a free estimate. We’ll be happy to discuss how these vinyl patio enclosures can help you meet your needs.
