Warm winter decks with commercial patio enclosures from SPE!

Winter sports don’t have to be painful anymore—think less parkas and more barbecues with our winter deck option.

Your customer is hot dog in hand, maybe a frosty beverage in another. Not a care in the world, unless it’s how many points are on the scoreboard and the division standings. Maybe you’ve got a friendly bet happening with the guy down the block on who will win today’s game, so you’re kicked back on your deck with your feet up and your team colors on. You love the fact that you can have your own space, with a nice view of the outdoors, rather than being holed up in a garage or a basement room. You can feel the breeze and enjoy the hard work you have done on your yard without losing track of your favorite team. With this outdoor man cave, you are the king of sports bars.

It sounds like a scene straight out of summer, doesn’t it? We must be talking about a baseball fan, because how could any football fan in his right mind be outside on a deck in the dead of winter? We have the answer for you—and it might surprise you. But you can easily turn your winter deck DIY dream into reality—a place to enjoy your winter football (and, later, basketball) games with as much comfort as you enjoy your summertime baseball.

Bears, Broncos, Colts, Rams, Aggies, Badgets, Nittany Lions—We Have a Winter Solution for You

If your customers are a football fan, then a few things happen while you watch your team either sink or swim in their respective divisions. Sure as anything, you’ll watch the seasons change—twice. You’ll start out the season in your short sleeves, watching the game on the deck with not a care in the world. Summer weather might be warm, but that’s what sports is, right? Enjoying the sunshine and the atmosphere. Pretty soon, though, you’ll start feeling the fall chill in the air—and the less die hard fans will start feeling like they need to watch a game indoors.

Not your people. That’s not how you work. You have created a deck of all decks—nature’s man cave, if you will—and you’re not abandoning it until you absolutely have to. So you add a sweatshirt and you watch the leaves fall as the serious games of October and November happen. When Thanksgiving rolls around, you’ll be watching rivalry week—and that’s as traditional to you as that pumpkin pie that you’re snacking on as you do. But then winter comes–with a couple of inches of snow on the ground, or that first hard cold rainstorm–and that freedom is leaving with every degree that it drops outside. It’s getting uncomfortable out there. Even though it’s covered, and maybe even screened, your outdoor man cave, as it is, is at most a three-season deck and you’ve reached the outermost limits. You’re starting to hear the worry in your customers’s voice about you and the winter weather. You’re starting to wonder why you do what you do—it’s just football. It’s on inside. And, eventually, you surrender to the winter winds and cold.

Winter Doesn’t Have to Kill the Fun–But It Normally Does

But it’s not the same—it’s not your place, not your turf, not your sports sanctuary. You appreciate the efforts of your wife to join in on your football fun, but sometimes a guy just needs a little space to yell at the refs without freezing his vocal cords because of a winter storm warning. What if we told you that we had the answer for you? A durable investment that will allow you to keep your man cave with a view regardless of the winter weather?

Customized Winter Deck Keeps You A Happy, Warm Winter Fan

Your winter deck can be created, and customized, with our vinyl curtains, which will serve not only as a rain and snow break but also a way to get rid of the cold while keeping the view. Our curtains, just by being unrolled, increase the temperature by ten degrees on your winter deck. While that may not help on a zero-degree day, it will certainly help cut the chill, especially when you add small space heaters. You may still be wearing your team’s hoodie, but you won’t need four coats and a ski mask. That’s progress!

In Chicago, Boise, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, even College Station—winter is no joke. But neither is your fandom. You are die-hard, bleed your college colors, all the way fan. You tailgate for hours and buy the satellite package to see every game (even that one at the beginning and end of the season that nobody wants to see—you’re That Guy). You have your game day ritual down pat, and with your winter deck, you won’t have to miss a single part of it. You can keep your superstitions and your family can keep their sanity—a winter deck like ours will make sure of that. Not just that, but you can invite your fellow football fans over to enjoy the games on your winter deck, just the way you did in the summer. No more limitations—just more fun, more room, and more freedom to do what you want to do–all because you let us help you create a winter deck to fit your needs.

A Winter Deck Can Transform Into a Spring Deck in No Time Flat

If you’re itching to take this winter deck DIY project on yourself, think about it this way—you’ll have the ability to remove your curtains any time you want to enjoy the open air again. If you’re really feeling like a DIY warrior, we can walk you through the installation yourself. It’s that simple—but you’ll feel like you’ve accomplished a lot because you’ve transformed your outdoor space into a year-round area that the whole family can use—and you can always return to, no matter the season. No need for a new plan for spring. Basketball season, with its rain and wind, can come without you worrying about where to watch March Madness. Nope. You’ll be using your winter deck—and when the rains end and so do the slam dunks, you can throw open the curtains and invite the neighborhood over. Maybe they’ll like to watch the season opener for the Cubs?
