Telescopic wind barriers can enhance outdoor spaces for restaurants, hotels, event venues, and retail businesses by providing weather protection while preserving scenic views, thereby increasing customer comfort and revenue year-round.
Enhancing Outdoor Dining at Planks Tavern: A Case Study
BACKGROUND The Inn at Harbor Shores boasts an outdoor dining area for Planks Tavern that offers breathtaking views during the summer months. However, as fall and winter approached, excessive wind conditions rendered this space nearly unusable, significantly impacting guest experience and revenue.
CHALLENGE Planks Tavern faced a dilemma: how to maintain the stunning vistas while providing shelter from harsh winds without compromising aesthetics. Traditional plastic roll-down curtains were deemed inadequate due to their cheap appearance, failing to align with the establishment’s upscale ambiance.
SOLUTION GEMINIoutdoors introduced innovative telescopic wind barriers specifically designed for Planks Tavern’s needs. These systems seamlessly integrate with the existing covered porch and ceiling-mounted heaters. When not in use, they can be stored in a lower position, transforming into a sleek 42″ tall glass railing that preserves unobstructed views of the surroundings. When windy conditions arise, these barriers extend upwards to create a robust 72″ tall glass wind barrier, effectively shielding diners from gusts while maintaining an elegant atmosphere.
RESULTS Since installation, Planks Tavern has reported increased patronage during cooler months as guests enjoy uninterrupted views alongside protection from the elements. This project exemplifies GEMINIoutdoors’ commitment to enhancing outdoor experiences through innovative design solutions tailored to client needs.
