Description

Retractable Shades for Restaurant Patios

Shade Options for Patio

Retractable Canopies are versatile shading structures that retract effortlessly using our pull cord system. Motorized canopies are also available. We have a host of very durable fabric choices to match your restaurant or cafe decor and create a comfortable outdoor space for your customers! These unique structures can be installed free-standing or mounted to the wall of your restaurant or cafe. They can also be mounted under your existing pergola.

Ideal to cover verandas, terraces, and rooftop patios – retractable canopies can provide shade around your patio and keep your customers cool under the hot sun or dry during a light rain.

Many commercial applications! Perfect shelter for outdoor cafes and sidewalk seating. Units can be joined to cover larger spaces. Solar shades can be added for protection from bright sun or for privacy.

Canopies can be custom sized and mounted directly to the rafters of any size pergola to provide added comfort!

    Canopy Fabrics

    Betterliving™ canopies by Craft-Bilt have a huge selection of durable fabrics to choose from. Please visit our Awning and Canopy Fabric page to view available fabric colours & patterns.

    Attention to detail and not cutting corners is what sets our Northport fabric apart from the competition:

    • Ultrasonically cut fabric – the fabric is actually cut with sound, which makes for a perfect factory edge and the threads are automatically welded so they don’t fray.
    • Symmetrical sewing – we sew full width panels to the inside, and split the narrow panels to the outside, resulting in matched patterns and the best appearance.
    • 100% solution-dyed acrylic (the best raw material and dyeing process known) based on Leacril Outdoor HM ECO fiber. Water impermeability of 1500mm where as other fabrics can have water impermeability  as low as 200mm – 300mm.
    • Gore™ Tenara® thread – a long lasting thread that does NOT deteriorate from exposure to the elements and lasts the life of the fabric – no worries about seams coming loose for the life of the fabric.
    • Double lock-stitched, uber strong seams.
    • Northport is treated with genuine Dupont® Teflon® to protect and extend the life of the fabric.
