Thousands of business owners trust our motorized and manual clear vinyl enclosures, sun shades, and bug screens to turn seasonal patios into year-round revenue. Our experts design and install the right system for your space.
Every system is custom-fit to the patio it encloses, built from commercial-grade components, and certified NFPA 701 flame retardant.
Commercial-grade components meet an economical solution. Rope & pulley or hand-rolled clear vinyl, wind rated 45 mph (60 mph on an 8' by 10' panel), panels up to 12' each, with runs up to 100' split about every 10' and zipped together.
Explore ManualSleek design, simple operation, and built for high wind. Keder track retention, powder-coated aluminum frame, openings to 25' wide or 16' high (23' by 15' with clear vinyl).
Explore MotorizedTwitchell TEXTILENE Nano fabrics blocking up to 97% of the sun, with one-way daytime visibility. Every motorized unit is warrantied to 65 mph; Nano 97/99 shade units within our size limits are tested to 110 mph.

We kept watching the same thing happen. A business would invest in a patio enclosure, and two or three seasons later the fabric had chalked, a seam had let go, or a panel had blown out of its track in a storm that was not even remarkable. The money was gone and the patio was back to being a liability every time the forecast turned.
So we set out to build the version that lasts: commercial-grade throughout, engineered for high wind exposure, and specified for durability rather than for a low bid. Every system is custom-fit to the opening it was measured for, delivered and installed by our own people, and backed by service that does not end at the invoice.
