MaxView window vinyl panels

Build maximum views into your enclosed, motorized patio with MaxView.

April 1, 2021/in Motorized Patio Enclosures/by Valerie Foley

Are you ready to see more? The physics of patio enclosures just made a giant, 360 degree leap forward. MaxView window vinyl panels

We now have the largest clear window available for motorized patio shades.

Taking in sunsets, skylines, mountains, flowers and trees, and of course sun!, is what sitting outside is all about for restaurant patio-goers. And when a patio gets enclosed to protect guests from rain, wind and other weather, you hope for an uninterrupted view. Now everyone can enjoy true patio ambiance as they see so much more.

New technology for us creates a maximum view for you
(But you probably guessed that by the name!)

The sunny secret is all in the seams. With our original vinyl shades, more structural support is needed in the form of opaque vertical seams and wider horizontal seams at the top of the shade. This new product offers a clear-to-clear weld that almost completely disappears. We’re all about evolving our products as new thinking and science makes what was impossible possible.

Nice views become the nicest patio views with MaxView. Let us show you how the patio experience you always imagined can be yours this year.

Getting Your Patio Ready for the Spring

March 2, 2020/in Commercial Enclosed Patio, Motorized Patio Enclosures, Patio Enclosure, Patio Enclosures, Wind Protection/by Valerie Foley

Spring is known for the return of beautiful flowers and pleasing temperatures. It’s a time when more customers prefer to spend their time outdoors, helping businesses with patios capitalize on the warmer temperatures. However, spring is also a time known for rain and wind. Any type of restaurant or sports cafe will inevitably lose revenue if it does not have a way to protect its patrons from unfavorable weather. Installing a retractable patio screen can easily solve this issue.

Wind Resistant Screens motorized patio screens sun shade material clear vinyl windows rooftop patio del frisco restaurant orange furniture

Wind gusts are notorious for ruining outdoor seating areas, disturbing patrons and affecting their dining experience. Adding a windscreen to your patio can help keep your customers comfortable and maintain an enjoyable atmosphere. At Southern Patio Enclosures, we offer manual and motorized windscreens designed to withstand years of use and extreme weather conditions. Our manual windscreen can provide your customers with protection from winds reaching up to 45 mph. For additional protection, consider our motorized screen systems built to withstand winds up to 65 mph. If you are located in an area that tends to experience extremely powerful winds, ask us about our hurricane-rated systems designed to endure up to 120 mph winds!

Year-Round Protection

Investing in a patio enclosure that can withstand inclement weather throughout the seasons can help you capitalize on revenue that would otherwise be lost throughout the year. We offer the strongest and most durable enclosure systems available, manufacturing our screens with tough PVC vinyl and using RF welding to bond the pieces together.

Choosing a Patio Enclosure for the Winter

January 6, 2020/in Commercial, Commercial Enclosed Patio, Motorized Patio Enclosures, Patio Enclosure, Patio Enclosures/by Valerie Foley

It’s the start of the new year and you’re probably thinking of different ways you can increase your restaurant’s revenue. If you were forced to close down your outdoor environment during the cold season, installing a patio enclosure is the perfect solution! An enclosed patio makes it easier to provide customers with a cozy and inviting atmosphere, enjoy extra seating, and allow you to boost your revenue.

Optimize Seating Capacity hats creek patio screens enclosure

A crowded dining room can lead to uncomfortable seating options, long waits, and dissatisfied patrons. Enclosures allow businesses to benefit from increasing their seating options and maintaining a more enjoyable atmosphere for customers. Our manual screen systems can cover widths of 60 feet or wider, ensuring you are making full use of your restaurant’s porch, deck, or patio area by effectively increasing your seating options. They are also our more economical option, with business owners usually seeing a return in their investment within 2-3 months.

Our sophisticated motorized enclosures can also be customized to meet your needs, extending up to 20 feet wide without having to build additional beams. Easy to use, they are our fastest deploying system, lowering up to 16 screens at once with a push of a button.

Protection from All Environmental Factors

As a business owner, you want to make sure your outdoor dining guests have an enjoyable experience, protected from all kinds of weather. At Southern Patio Enclosures, our unique manufacturing process enables our curtains to endure extreme weather conditions longer than any competitor. Our manual enclosures protect against 45 mph winds and our motorized screens are manufactured to endure up to 65 mph winds. For maximum wind resistance, our motorized systems can be upgraded to be hurricane-resistant, withstanding winds of up to 120 mph.

During the off-season, the hand-rolled enclosures can be easily removed from their track and stored away until the next season. When not in use, our motorized enclosures completely retract into their hood, blending in completely with your outside design. You can also further optimize your patio screens by pairing our systems with our effective sun shade material to create a comfortable and cool outdoor space during the hot summers.

Creating a Relaxing Atmosphere

Outdoor seating can offer a different, more relaxed experience to your diners, away from the clamor of the kitchen and loud chatter from other tables. Seating that provides an unobstructed view of the skyline, natural areas or seasonal displays can also make an ideal backdrop for an enjoyable meal or night out. Our all-weather patio enclosures are a simple way to allow customers to use your outdoor area comfortably during the colder months of winter. Both of our systems can be paired with patio heaters, fireplaces, and fire pits to deliver a cozy outdoor experience to your guests!

New Year, New Solutions!

From easy-to-use manual screens to remote-operated enclosures that offer superior convenience and protection from the elements, business and commercial property owners can confidently trust in our systems to enhance their customers’ experience. Contact us today for more information!

Capitalize on Big Sporting Events During the Cold Months

November 5, 2019/in Commercial Enclosed Patio, Motorized Patio Enclosures, Patio Enclosure, Wind Protection/by Valerie Foley

Late fall, winter, and early spring are usually chilly throughout most parts of the United States. This also happens to be a stretch of time that features some of the greatest sports action, including championship bowl games, basketball, hockey and spring training. These sporting events have mass appeal and fans are always on the lookout for somewhere to watch them. Creating a positive experience where patrons at your establishment can view these games can be a significant revenue driver. That’s where an enclosed patio comes in handy.

Become the Designated Place for Sporting Events patio enclosures used as deck wind shades

Patio space at a restaurant or bar is a huge asset during the warmer months, but it doesn’t have to be wasted space when temperatures start to take a dip.

With this added space, your business can become a dedicated hot spot for catching the big game!

Create a Unique Experience for Customers

With an enclosed patio, your restaurant or bar can create a unique experience for sports fans.

How to Keep Your Patio Open for Winter

September 3, 2019/in Commercial Enclosed Patio, Motorized Patio Enclosures, Patio Enclosure, Weather Curtains/by Valerie Foley

As the days start getting cooler, now is the time to prepare your restaurant’s patio for the cold season. Many business owners believe that means packing everything away, but since outdoor areas can easily double your seating capacity, you don’t want to let it go unoccupied until the spring. Instead, let us help you transform your restaurant’s patio into a cozy, inviting space during the harsh winter months.

Make Your Patio a Winter Dining Destination clear vinyl patio windscreens restaurant climate control

Installing a heating system is essential for creating a comfortable outdoor space for patrons, but making sure you are able to keep it warm is important too. Patio enclosures are easily compatible with climate control systems, like heated lamps and fireplaces, allowing you to have full control of your outdoor space’s temperature. Our products are NFPA 701 Certified Flame and Fire Retardant so you can be confident in pairing them with your choice of heating system. By keeping your patio nice and toasty, customers will be encouraged to sit outside, maintaining wait times low and your revenue high.

Book Your Outdoor Area for Holiday Parties

Choose between a manual or motorized enclosure system to create an intimate space guests can rent out for large private events and holiday parties. With the addition of some heating elements, seasonal decor, and special promotions, you can deliver an ambiance that will make your guests’ experience unforgettable, increasing your ROI and customer base.

Choose a Year-Round Solution

It’s never too early to install an enclosure system. In late summer and early fall, you can roll-up your panels to let in fresh air. When the weather starts getting colder, you’ll be prepared to block out the elements and protect your customers by quickly lowering the curtains.

Preparing Your Patio for Winter

August 5, 2019/in Commercial Enclosed Patio, Motorized Patio Enclosures, Patio Enclosure, Weather Curtains/by Valerie Foley

Your customers have probably been taking advantage of the sunny summer months by dining outdoors, but without the proper protection, you may lose your extra patio seating very soon. There are many tools that can help extend your patio season, but installing an enclosure system is a guaranteed way of keeping your outdoor seating area full all year long, even during the coldest day of the year.

The Best Time to Prepare Is Now motorized sun enclosures clear vinyl shoal tavern interior patio

It’s never too early to install a patio enclosure system. Once it’s set up, you will be able to seat your customers outside, no matter the weather. During the warm seasons, you can roll-up your panels to let in the fresh air or you can pair your winter panels with a sun shade panel for the summer. Our specialized sun shades allow you to seat customers outside even during peak summer temperatures without sacrificing the comfort of a seat indoors. When the days start getting cooler, the lowered panels will keep the space warm with the help of a patio fireplace or heating system.

Beat the Rush and Provide Warm and Cozy Winter Seating

Many business owners make the mistake of waiting until it starts getting colder to winterize their patios. At Southern Patio Enclosures, we highly encourage you to start preparing now so that your patio is fully prepared to accommodate guests by the time temperatures drop. But while adding electric or gas tube heaters may keep your patio warm, customers will still avoid sitting outside if the day is wet and windy. Patio enclosures not only help keep a warm atmosphere, but also serve as a barrier against all elements. Check out how our motorized enclosures help Shoal Creek Tavern provide a warm and cozy outdoor seating area all year long!

Plan Ahead & Contact Us Today!

Because of high demand, we often have a longer production time leading to the colder months and holiday season. Begin preparing your patio now so that when the cold weather hits, your outdoor seating area will be pristine and ready to host large events and holiday parties. Request your quote today!

Sun Shades Improve Your Guests’ Dining Experience

May 15, 2019/in Commercial Enclosed Patio, Motorized Patio Enclosures, Products Patio Enclosures and Outdoor Sun Shades, Temporary Sunroom/by Valerie Foley

When customers consider a restaurant, their choice is based on the atmosphere as much as the cuisine. Help your restaurant stand out from the competitors by providing your customers with an enjoyable outdoor dining experience, fully protected from the scorching summer heat.

Creating a Better Ambiance

Outdoor dining is becoming increasingly popular as the days get warmer. However, when the summer sun becomes too unbearable, guests may avoid your patio seating, reducing the opportunity for profit and greater revenue. By incorporating our custom-designed motorized or manual sun shades to your outdoor area, you can fully protect customers from the sun’s harsh heat and rays while still allowing plenty of light through. The shades offer an instant 10 degree difference when lowered, ensuring that patio guests remain cool and comfortable. To further control your patio’s climate, pair your shades with cooling and misting fans.

Protecting Your Customers’ Experience

Too much glare and direct exposure to the sun can quickly ruin a customer’s experience, especially if they are sitting outside during the hottest time of the day. Fortunately, our solar shades are a quick and efficient solution to blocking harsh light and heat. The material of our shades can block up to 95% of the sun’s rays, instantly making your outdoor area pleasantly cool. Customers will be able to sit anywhere they please without having to worry about being in the direct path of the sun. As an added benefit, if you completely surround your patio with screens, sun shades even help keep pesky insects at bay, guaranteeing an enjoyable dining experience to your guests.

Meeting the Needs of Your Guests

No longer will you have to close your outdoor seating area when the weather is less than preferable. Pairing your sun shades with our enclosure screens creates a weatherproof system that allows customers enjoy your patio all year long. Our screens are manufactured to completely protect against all the elements, including high winds and heavy rainfall. Our manual and motorized enclosure systems can be lowered in a moment’s notice without disturbing patrons.

Sun Shades: The Perfect Solution

Sun shades are versatile and a practical investment that can easily enhance your patio’s appearance and promote your guests’ dining experience. Contact us today to receive a complimentary quote!
