Boost Restaurant Profits with Waterproof Pergolas, Awnings, and Weather Screens

Expand Dining. Increase Revenue. Weather Any Season.

In the restaurant business, every square foot counts—especially in the Southeast, where outdoor dining is a major draw. From bustling Charleston homes turned eateries to marshfront patios in Savannah, smart restaurant owners are embracing outdoor spaces as revenue-generating assets. But unpredictable weather, harsh sun, and seasonal storms can turn patio seating into lost income. That’s where Coastal Canvas Products comes in. Since 1975, we’ve helped businesses across Savannah, Hilton Head Island, Charleston, and St. Simons Island enhance their outdoor environments with durable, custom outdoor living solutions— including waterproof pergolas, commercial awnings, and retractable weather screens designed for performance and profitability.

Why Restaurants Are Investing in Covered Outdoor Spaces

More Than Curb Appeal—Covered Dining Pays Off

Adding or upgrading covered outdoor seating can lead to tangible returns:

• Increase seating capacity without expanding your building footprint
• Reduce wait times during peak hours with more usable tables
• Enhance guest comfort and dining experience
• Minimize weather-related closures or re-seating
• Extend seasonal dining well into cooler or rainy months

The result? Higher average ticket sales, more table turns, and happier customers — all from a thoughtfully designed, weather-ready space.

The Power of Waterproof Pergolas and Custom Awnings

Waterproof Pergolas: A Flexible, Stylish Investment

Ideal for patios and decks, waterproof pergolas provide year-round usability with built-in drainage, UV protection, and modern aesthetics. Add optional retractable elements for open-air dining on clear days, or motorized covers for instant shelter.

Benefits for Restaurant Owners:

• Weatherproof construction for all-season service
• Sleek aluminum frames built with coastal aluminum fabrication
• Motorized options for fast, flexible coverage
• Low-maintenance materials designed to last in salty, humid climates

Looking for inspiration? We’ve installed retractable roofs in Hilton Head and coastal dining enclosures in Savannah that blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

Commercial Awnings: Shade and Branding in One

Whether it’s a sidewalk café or rooftop bar, commercial awnings deliver both function and design. They’re a cost-effective way to create shaded outdoor seating while also promoting your brand with custom signage, fabric choices, and colors.

Key features of Coastal Canvas commercial awnings:

• Fully customizable for size, shape, and design
• Available in waterproof, fade-resistant fabrics
• Branding options include logos, colors, and text
• Built-in UV and weather protection for year-round use

Weather Screens and Enclosures: Dining Without Disruption

Nothing frustrates a guest more than being moved mid-meal due to a sudden rainstorm. Motorized weather screens or SummerSpace® Glass Enclosures allow you to create adaptable outdoor environments that stay comfortable in all weather.

Ideal for:

• Restaurants and resorts in Charleston SC needing year-round usability
• Cafés and bars in St. Simons Island that want to shield from wind, rain, or pests
