Flexibility is the key to success in both the natural world and in business. Animals grow a heavier coat in winter. In business we plan a budget to accommodate changing circumstances. That concept applies beautifully for the hospitality industry.
Santa Fe Awning constructs flexible additions to homes and businesses to accommodate the change of season. Fabric and vinyl patio enclosures add usable space regardless of the weather. In warm months, a restaurant may seat 200 diners inside and in outdoor patio areas. When cold weather kicks in, that same business may lose a quarter or even half of it’s income because it’s too cold to sit outside. Our fabricated additions solve that problem by adding a roof over the patio seating if needed, and enclosing the outdoors with fabric walls and plastic windows. Add a few heat lamps and customers will enjoy the same comfort as dining indoors. In warmer weather, the windows can be changed out to screening, or remove the walls entirely.
A patio enclosure has the added advantage in winter of creating a bubble of warmer air between the indoors and the elements, thereby reducing heating costs to the interior.
