Pergolas, canopies and patio covers for restaurants, breweries, hotels and businesses that earn more when guests can sit outside.
In Nashville, people love to sit outside, and a shaded patio can be the difference between an empty and a full restaurant on a hot evening. Breweries, cafes, hotels and offices all use pergolas and canopies to create comfortable outdoor seating, and the structure becomes part of the brand.
We design commercial shade structures for guests, staff and codes. We coordinate with architects, owners and city officials, plan for occupancy, egress, heating, lighting and sound and build with materials chosen for durability and appearance. We schedule work around your opening dates and your busy seasons. A patio is part of your business, so the schedule and the details matter as much as the design. We agree on a build plan that keeps your kitchen and entrance working, deliver materials at quiet hours and finish in stages when possible. We choose finishes that clean easily, hardware that stands up to constant use and lighting that flatters guests, so the patio earns its place on busy evenings.
Table spacing, aisle widths and service paths shape the structure. We design around how guests and staff move.
Commercial structures involve occupancy, accessibility and fire rules. We coordinate with your architect and the building department.
Heaters, fans, string lights and speakers extend the season and the mood. We plan power and mounting during design.
Commercial use is hard on structures. We choose materials and finishes made for heavy traffic and constant weather.
