It is important to keep in mind many things when deciding on a shelter for your venue. Venue location, available outdoor space, venue usage and budget are key considerations. When strategically chosen, installing a shelter can significantly increase your footfall and generate a great ROI.
Below are 5 completely different shelter options that we offer. Have a read about each shelter type to help guide you in your decision making.
Wooden Shelters: Timeless & Natural
Wooden shelters offer a timeless charm and are the perfect option for venues looking to achieve a rustic aesthetic.
Constructed from sturdy timber, these shelters offer durability that can withstand many years of outdoor exposure, making them an excellent long-term investment for venues like pubs, hotels, and garden spaces. Their natural appearance allows them to blend harmoniously with landscaping, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere that encourages guests to relax and stay longer.
Wooden gazebos are particularly well-suited for venues that prioritise a warm, welcoming environment, as they enhance the overall ambience with their natural beauty. Additionally, they can be customised with features like built in seating, lighting, heating, planters and decorations to perfectly align with your venue’s theme.
Metal Shelters: Modern & Durable
Metal shelters are designed for venues that require a sleek, contemporary shelter capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions.
Crafted from robust materials like steel or aluminium, these structures offer exceptional durability and are ideal for high-traffic areas or locations prone to wind or rain, like coastal areas. Metal shelters require minimal maintenance, and are resistant to rust, corrosion, and wear, making them a practical choice for commercial spaces such as outdoor dining areas, event venues, and public spaces.
Their modern design complements urban and industrial aesthetics, providing a stylish yet functional shelter option. Metal gazebos can also be equipped with additional features like side panels, heating, and lighting to enhance comfort and usability all year-round.
Jumbrellas: Versatile & Stylish
Jumbrellas are a versatile shelter solution that combines the mobility of umbrellas with the stability of a permanent structure, making them ideal for venues with outdoor seating areas like restaurants, cafes, and golf clubs.
These large, adjustable umbrellas provide extensive coverage, protecting guests from both sun and rain while maintaining a stylish appearance. Jumbrellas are designed to be easily repositioned or stored when not in use, offering flexibility in managing outdoor space.
Their robust construction ensures durability, even in windy conditions, and they come in various sizes, colours, and shapes to suit different venue styles. Whether you need to create a comfortable outdoor dining area or a sheltered social space, jumbrellas offer an attractive, practical solution that enhances the guest experience.
Retractable Canopy Awnings: Flexible & Functional
Retractable canopy awnings offer a flexible shelter option that allows venues to adapt to changing weather conditions effortlessly whilst improving curb appeal.
These awnings can be extended to provide shade and protection from rain or retracted to open up the space, offering maximum versatility for venues like pubs, cafes, hotels, and event spaces with outdoor seating. Their sleek design adds a professional touch to any venue, while their functionality helps optimise outdoor areas for various events and activities.
Retractable canopies are customisable in terms of colour and size and can be tailored to match the venue’s branding and style. They are great for improving guest comfort and making the outdoor space more usable throughout the year.
Bespoke Shelters: Unique & Tailored
Bespoke shelters are designed to meet the specific needs and aesthetic preferences of a venue. Whether they are made from wood, metal, or a combination of materials, bespoke shelters offer complete customisation, allowing you to create a structure that perfectly reflects your venue’s brand, style, or theme.
