Direct answer: a B02 site pack should show every terrace zone, the facade condition, target projection, table spacing, service route and operating schedule. Gather these inputs before asking for a cassette awning direction so the wide opening is reviewed as a working space.
Photograph the facade and the terrace
Take a wide elevation of each facade, side views at both ends and close photographs of the possible fixing line. Include masonry joints, cladding changes, beams, gutters, downpipes, lighting, signs, doors and any repair or crack. Take matching photographs from the guest seat and from the service route at the difficult hour.
Keep the full context in frame. A cropped image of an uninterrupted wall can hide a door, a drain or a change of structure that affects the B02 review.
Record the ten site inputs
- usable facade width for each review zone;
- target projection to the table or lounge footprint;
- mounting height and level changes;
- door, window, service hatch and delivery opening travel;
- table sizes, chair pull-out space and any fixed furniture;
- minimum guest and staff route widths;
- gutter, downpipe, light, heater, sign and ventilation positions;
- sun direction and the time when glare limits use;
- who operates the shade and when it changes;
- power entry, control location and maintenance access if motorization is considered.
Label approximate measurements clearly. They support a first review but are not a final configuration or installation instruction.
Draw the service route in both states
Use a plan to show the route from the service door to each table. Walk it with a chair pulled out, a tray in hand and the terrace prepared for closing. Add the route when the awning is extended and when it is retracted. Mark any place where the front edge, control point or service access would create a pinch point.
If the terrace has different sun exposures, split it into zones rather than averaging them. A separate note for each zone makes the B02 discussion more precise and prevents an all-or-nothing coverage request.
Package the checklist for a review
Put the elevation, plan, time-stamped photos and operating note in one folder. Add the preferred fabric or frame context after the route and fixing evidence. If the facade is uncertain, say so. If a zone needs an independent structure or a screen at the edge, name that as a comparison question rather than forcing it into the cassette awning brief.
Check every zone twice
Review the checklist once before service and once during the busiest operating period. The first pass captures structure, dimensions and sun direction; the second shows how chairs, trays, doors and staff movement change the usable space. Mark any difference on the same plan, then keep the tighter route as the design constraint. This simple second pass also reveals whether a control point, cassette edge or maintenance position would interrupt the workday. A B02 discussion is more useful when it includes both the empty facade and the occupied terrace.
B02 site checklist FAQ
Do I need exact engineering dimensions?
No. Clear approximate inputs and context are useful for the first review. Exact confirmation comes after the site and selected direction are understood.
Should tables be moved before measuring?
Measure the space as it is used, including chair pull-out and service movement. Note which furniture is fixed and which can move.
What if power is not available?
Record that constraint and the possible route for review. Do not assume a control or cable path without checking the building condition.
Product paths for B02 terrace shade
Review the published B02 Series collection and active B02 heavy-duty motorized cassette awning using the completed checklist. Use the restaurant outdoor shade page for service-flow context and the measurement guide for a consistent evidence pack.
Submit the B02 site checklist
Send one checklist per facade zone, with the route and difficult-hour photographs attached. The clearer the operating context, the less likely a wide terrace will be reduced to a single unsupported width request.
