So, how do you go about customizing an awning installation/order? The task might seem daunting at first, but here’s a quick list of things you should consider:
Size: You might want to look at your building and the size of your restaurant. You don’t want to install something that minimizes the look of your restaurant; you want to create an illusion of space and that means making sure the size of your awning is correct. Also, if you’re going to use the awning to expand your restaurant’s dining area to the outdoors, then selecting the right size is critical. That’s when you should consult your awning professional and ask them to help you with the measurements so that you can maximize the space you have and fit the right amount dining seats.

Printing your restaurant’s logo or graphic on an awning is a great way to make your business stand out from the rest. Graphic awnings help you passively advertise your business without the added cost of paying for weekly or monthly billboards or sig
- Color: Your restaurant probably has a theme and choosing the right fabric color is important. The color needs to not only match your restaurant’s scheme, but also be tasteful and match the building’s theme as well. You want to think about a color that will compliment both your building and your business. Also, choosing a color that is meant to be for the outdoors is helpful as well. (You don’t want to install a fabric that reflects light into the eyes of your patrons or potential customers).
Slide Wire Awnings at the Cafe Botanica Type: Depending on the restaurant and your location, the type of awning you choose is also something to consider. Awnings can be fixed or retractable. They can also be created to incorporate things like shade sails. In fact, if you customize your design, you can ask your awning professional what your options are, and you can go from there. But remember, if your business is an area that doesn’t have that much sunlight and you want to retract your awning on cloudy days, that’s something to keep in mind. (So, a fixed awning may not be right for you).
Material: This is something we often forget to consider. But this is just as important when it comes to an awning for a restaurant. Remember, your awning’s frame and fabric will take a lot more abuse than a standard residential shade structure. That’s why choosing an awning with a sturdy, reliable, frame and a UV ray resistant, commercial grade fabric is important. The material a restaurant awning is made from is designed to withstand the outdoors and your business’ day-to-day use and abuse.
