RESTAURANT OUTDOOR SHADE
Start with the seating layout and the daily service pattern. Then choose the right overhead cover or guided screen for each zone.
Bring table layout, opening dimensions, photos and the hours when direct sun or wind affects service.
PLAN THE SPACE FIRST
The product comes after the seating plan, service flow, exposure and mounting conditions are understood.
Map the tables that receive the hardest sun first, then protect the highest-value seating without closing circulation.
Keep entries, service paths and cleaning access clear while the system is open or retracted.
Record the hours when glare, heat or side exposure changes the guest experience.
Confirm the wall, roof edge or ground position before selecting a span or a support strategy.
SYSTEM DIRECTIONS
An awning suits wall-adjacent tables, a retractable roof suits a defined terrace and a guided screen addresses side exposure. Final suitability depends on site dimensions and mounting conditions.
WALL-ADJACENT SEATING
A starting direction for tables located along a suitable facade where controllable overhead shade is the priority.
DEDICATED TERRACE ZONE
A direction for a defined restaurant terrace where a folding roof, support layout and service circulation can be planned together.
SIDE EXPOSURE CONTROL
A complementary direction for low-angle sun, privacy or side exposure at an otherwise open dining edge.
APPLICATION PLANNING
01 / ARRIVAL EDGE
Address the zone guests notice first without obstructing access or the primary host route.
02 / MAIN TERRACE
Plan the core seating area around sun movement, table layout and the desired degree of openness.
03 / OPEN PERIMETER
Use a guided screen direction where light and exposure change the comfort of edge tables.
Use these zone patterns to brief your opening; final size, fixing and configuration follow the selected product.
PROJECT SUPPORT
A project review can narrow the system direction before you move into final size, mounting and configuration.

Answers for seating layout, service flow and site-specific system planning.
Start with table layout, service routes, photos, opening dimensions and the times direct sun, glare or wind affects the guest experience.
Not always. Wall-adjacent tables, a main terrace and an exposed perimeter can require separate directions after fixing, circulation and site conditions are reviewed.
Confirm mounting condition, usable width, projection or support layout, drainage where relevant, and the routes guests and staff must retain.
