Transforming Outdoor Spaces: The Business Benefits of Fixed Commercial Structures
As businesses seek innovative ways to enhance their customer experience, adding a fixed outdoor structure has become a savvy choice and for many customers, also very profitable too. These freestanding or wall-mounted structures go far beyond simple shade—providing extended usable covered space, a stylish ambiance, and protection from the increasingly unpredictable weather in the UK.
Here’s how fixed outdoor structures can transform your commercial space and give you a competitive edge.

Planning your glass room for spring 2024
Get ready for the spring season by creating a flexible new outdoor space. Glass rooms blend the best of the outdoors with the shelter and protection of the indoors – they're perfect for businesses seeking adaptable outdoor space, especially in unpredictable weather. Regularly installed by owners of restaurants, pubs, bars, hotels, cafes and other customer-facing businesses, glass outdoor rooms present a fantastic opportunity to expand and grow.
Enhancing your commercial outdoor dining space
An outdoor dining space poses an unparalleled opportunity for businesses to attract customers, get additional covers and create the kind of ambience that keeps people coming back. Making the space versatile and attractive is a must – if you have the luxury of outdoor space, then you should be able to use it as much and as often as possible. The key to enhancing your outdoor dining space and making it pay its way is to treat it like an extension of the indoors: while it can be beautiful, it should be just as practical so it can be used reliably come rain or shine. Effective coverings are needed to bring this plan to life, providing shade and shelter so diners can enjoy the space in comfort. And the more flexible the coverings are, the more use you will get from your dining area.
