Maximise your outdoor space 365 days a year with a canopy

How many times have your guests wanted to dine outside, but couldn’t because the weather wasn’t nice enough? And how many times have you wished you could boost sales by using your outdoor space more than just a couple of months of the year? 

With the popularity of outdoor dining on the rise, creating an alfresco experience is fast becoming a priority for many hotel owners.

Canopies Cantabria 3The Cantabria from Canopies UK, a leading manufacturer of high quality canopies, is a canopy system designed to help hotel owners meet the growing demand for outdoor dining and get maximum use from their outdoor space, all year round.

Controlled by a single handheld remote or smart device, the roof can be retracted at the touch of a button, while the glass screens make it possible to easily transform an open space into a stylish, fully enclosed unit.

Jason Eastwood, managing director of Canopies UK, said: “We all love nothing more than getting the chance to sit and relax outside however, thanks to the Great British weather, it’s something that’s really only possible to do in the UK two to three months of the year.

“The Cantabria is a highly versatile system that’s been specifically designed for the hospitality sector. It provides hotel owners with a guaranteed way to meet the growing demand for alfresco dining, use their outdoor space all year round and create additional covers.”

Weatherproof protection – come wind, rain or shine

The Cantabria’s durable aluminium frame, integrated guttering, waterproof roof and glass screens combine to make a UV protected environment.

What’s more, with an extensive range of glass sides to choose from – from fixed, folding and sliding, to balustrade and internal – the system is not just highly functional, but highly attractive. For instance, a closed unit offers 100% Canopies Cantabria 1protection in wind speeds of up to 60km/h. While in the finer months, the glass sides can be retracted, and come the cooler, wetter or more changeable weather, can be partially or fully closed.

Delivering a significant return on investment – in just a matter of weeks

Available in any length and ranging in projections of up to 10 metres for single units and 20 metres for twin units, a new Cantabria canopy could create up to 184 additional weekly covers* and an additional weekly revenue of more than £7,000.**

For more information visit www.canopiesuk.co.uk/hospitality or call 01254 777 002.

* Based on Friday and Saturday, 2 sittings per day.

**Based on £40 per cover = £7,360.
