The Estuary in Penclawdd, near Swansea, is a restaurant and hotel, located in the area of outstanding natural beauty, the Gower in South Wales. The restaurant is lucky enough to have some fantastic exterior areas for customers to dine outside. The Estuary is generally known by holidaymakers and locals alike as a great place to eat, drink and be merry with friends. However, in order for the outside space to reach its full potential, they were going to have to explore options for covered outdoor area solutions. Due to the restaurant being located near the seafront, parasols were not going to deliver effective cover, especially in times of high winds and storms. The restaurant needed a shelter which offered outstanding quality and structural strength, to further solidify the establishment’s reputation as being one of the hotspots during the summer.
The renovation was carried out by a local builder, who called in A&S Landscape to discuss design options for the proposed canopy. The restaurant had three specific requirements. The outdoor canopies were to evolve the available space into an attractive, inviting area for dining, be of the highest quality to ensure year-round use, and most importantly, be designed to take up as little seating space as possible. The design team hurriedly got to work, using their years of expertise to help the restaurant find the right solution to their needs.
We installed two of each of these canopies, with each structure measuring at 4000mm x 4000mm. Both effortlessly fit several tables underneath, allowing for an optimum number of customers. Perfectly matching the restaurant style, their sleek and durable design was finished in a modern white. The waterproof PVC ensures for year-round use even through the winter months, and the giant umbrellas offer the perfect shade solution to sun damage in the summer.
The extra space that has been created by the cover has been put to excellent use. The two freestanding canopies look as though they have always been there, and this is now considered a superb featured area for guests to enjoy. Families are able to relax while dining, knowing that children are protected from the sun. Customers can even sit outside while it’s raining. Not only this, but the tables and chairs can be stored beneath the shelter when not in use, which saves on vital indoor storage space.
The Estuary, in Penclawdd, near Swansea, is both a restaurant and a hotel.
Often the word awning is one we’ve heard before. Perhaps you have a patio awning in your garden, or you have been tempted by a range of commercial awnings for your business. Are they the same thing as a canopy? Yes and no.
Awnings are a type of canopy as they offer a shade solution. The difference is that awnings are defined as covers that are attached to an exterior wall of a building. Often there is an extensive range of materials to choose from, but they still do not offer the versatility a canopy does. Like an awning, a canopy can be attached to a wall, but can also be freestanding. This gives you a much wider range of solutions to choose from.
When considering covered seating for your outside space, it’s incredibly important to consider all options. If you want a bespoke shelter, it is paramount that you consider the incredible range of canopies on offer. This will give you access to products with the highest standards, a huge choice of design specifications, as well as a vast selection of additional features. To make sure your business isn’t missing out, outdoor area solutions should not be narrowed down to one type of canopy such as an awning and all cover technology should be considered.
