Why SummerSpace® Products Are Ideal for Restaurants, Hotels, and Outdoor Dining Areas
Outdoor dining and open-air hospitality are at the heart of coastal living. From Savannah’s historic districts to resort-style properties on Hilton Head Island and waterfront restaurants in Charleston, guests expect inviting outdoor spaces that feel comfortable, flexible, and thoughtfully designed. The challenge is creating environments that can adapt to changing weather without sacrificing atmosphere.
That’s where SummerSpace® products shine. Designed to enhance outdoor spaces while protecting against wind, rain, and sun, SummerSpace systems have become a favorite solution for restaurants, hotels, and commercial properties across the Lowcountry. Since 1975, Coastal Canvas Products has helped businesses create welcoming, weather-ready environments with custom solutions built specifically for coastal conditions.
The Growing Demand for Flexible Outdoor Dining Spaces
Outdoor dining areas increase seating, elevate guest experiences, and boost revenue — but only if they’re usable in more than perfect weather. Coastal climates bring sudden rain showers, strong breezes, and temperature swings that can disrupt service.
Common challenges for hospitality properties
- Weather-related closures or reduced seating
- Guest discomfort from wind or rain
- Limited use of outdoor spaces outside peak seasons
- Exposure to salt air and humidity
SummerSpace® products address these challenges by transforming open-air areas into adaptable spaces that work nearly year-round.
What Are SummerSpace® Products?
SummerSpace® products are modular enclosure systems designed to enhance patios, porches, and outdoor dining areas. These systems allow property owners to control airflow, protection, and visibility while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. Businesses often integrate these systems with commercial glass screen enclosures and other structural enhancements for a seamless result.
Popular SummerSpace® applications
- SummerSpace® Glass Enclosures for wind and rain protection
- Vertical or horizontal enclosures for patios and lanais
- Systems designed to integrate with existing roofs or structures
For businesses looking to balance openness with protection, SummerSpace offers an ideal solution.
Why Restaurants Choose SummerSpace® Products
More Usable Seating, More Often
Restaurants rely on consistent seating availability. SummerSpace enclosures help keep outdoor dining areas open during light rain, cooler temperatures, or breezy conditions.
- Fewer weather-related closures
- Increased daily and seasonal seating capacity
- Better return on outdoor space investments
This flexibility is especially valuable for coastal restaurants in Savannah, Hilton Head, and Charleston. Many properties enhance these systems further with commercial awnings to create layered shade and weather protection.
Enhanced Guest Comfort Without Losing the View
Guests love outdoor dining for the views and fresh air. SummerSpace® Glass Enclosures protect against the elements without blocking natural light or scenery.
- Clear, unobstructed views
- Reduced wind and rain exposure
- Comfortable dining environment
For waterfront restaurants and courtyards, this balance is key.
A Clean, Upscale Look That Enhances Your Brand
First impressions matter in hospitality. SummerSpace systems offer a polished, architectural look that complements both modern and traditional coastal designs. When paired with metal awnings and canopies, businesses can create cohesive, professional outdoor environments that strengthen brand presence.
Ideal for Hotels, Resorts, and Hospitality Properties
Hotels and resorts rely on outdoor spaces to enhance guest experiences. From poolside lounges to covered walkways and dining patios, SummerSpace products add versatility without compromising aesthetics.
- Covered outdoor dining areas
- Lounge and bar enclosures
- Transition spaces between indoor and outdoor amenities
Many hospitality properties also integrate louvered and retractable roof systems for additional climate control and flexibility.
Built for Coastal Environments
Salt air, humidity, and sun exposure demand materials that last. Coastal Canvas Products designs SummerSpace installations with coastal durability in mind, often incorporating custom metal fabrication to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance.
- Rust-resistant structural components
- Lightweight yet strong framing
- Long-term performance in coastal conditions
Pairing SummerSpace® with Other Outdoor Solutions
Many commercial properties combine SummerSpace products with complementary systems to create fully adaptable outdoor environments.

Storm Awareness and Seasonal Preparation

- Coordination with hurricane shutters and storm panels
- Professional guidance on seasonal maintenance
