GCA RESTAURANT AWNINGS

Although we supply and install awnings up to 4 meters projection in certain circumstances, given the general weather conditions in the UK, even during the summer, there is an argument that anything over 3 meters is just not safe enough to be used for year-round commercial retractable sun and rain protection. Unless, of course, it has legs at the front that go right down to the ground. And that's exactly what the Arquati GCA Restaurant Awning does. This awning works in a very similar way to the Cottage Roof Awning, with an all round cord tensioning system to keep the fabric taut, but because the side channels, which run around a corner unit and right down to the ground, provide so much rigidity throughout, it is possible with this system to give a maximum projection of 6 meters. As with the Cottage, there is a dual centre track available to allow multiple units to be linked together, and it is not uncommon with this system, as you will have seen in some cities throughout Europe, such as Bruges for example, for one of these awning systems to run the whole length of street full of cafe-bars. Although the fabric is fully retractable, the framework is clearly a permanent structure, and may, in some instances, require local authority planning consent. But what better way to increase your number of covers, and provide that perfect eating environment that can be both outdoors in the summer and indoors in the winter.
