What is a Patiola?
A Patiola is a fabric awning with a permanent steel and aluminium structure to offer it additional support and allow it to offer overhead protection as well as vertical protection. It is guided by a track system allowing it to cover further distances.

The Patiola is a simple yet effective weather protection system designed to shelter customers and create a warm atmosphere.

When under the shelter of a Samson Awnings installed Patiola, a lively atmosphere is created by the bright & powerful range of awning covers available combined with the large areas of open space protected from various weather elements. It allows you to take full advantage of the natural outdoors for commercial purposes by allowing customers to sit outside in an exterior room.

Samson Awnings recommends the commercial Patiola for use in the following:

• Pubs, Clubs, Restaurants & Cafés
• Schools, Day Centres, Nurseries
• Shops, Offices
• Public walkways exposed to the sun

The Patiola is not just a summer sun-shading awning – it can cope with any weather condition no matter what time of year. The Patiola also allows you to ignore the very changeable weather in the UK and can be uniquely adjusted. It can be left fully open to enjoy sunny days,  semi-closed in strong intense sunlight when sun shading is required and fully closed in the winter.

Side screens and glazing units are available on request to turn your exterior sun shading system into a conservatory-style room. The roof is still retractable which allows you to convert your Patiola room to suit different weather conditions at during different times in the day at different times of the year.

Commercial Patiola terrace covers can be combined with heating and lighting systems to allow full use of your terrace during the late evenings or when the chill of the cold winter hits. Heating & Lighting can help create a real party feel under this flexible structure and allow events to continue long into the night.

Branding and Logo placement can help promote, advertise and drum up extra business for your company. Similar to the picture shown above (right), commercial Patiola’s can be designed to have eye-catching writing printed onto the material to give your business additional visual coverage and grab your customers attention as they’re passing by.

A Patiola terrace cover can provide a fantastic outdoor area for customers to enjoy. They can play host to a variety of different uses including dining areas, public drinking spaces, smoking areas, shaded walkways, indoor markets, exterior relaxation areas and more.
