The Butterfly Awning is a freestanding retractable awning system from ShadeZone, ideal for hotels, pubs, restaurants, and cafés looking to make the most of their outdoor space. It offers a smart, flexible solution for creating covered areas without the need for building attachments, making it perfect for venues with open courtyards, beer gardens, patios, or terrace seating.
Customisable in both size and colour, the Butterfly Awning can be tailored to suit your brand’s identity—whether you’re after a sleek, modern look for a boutique hotel, a traditional pub garden vibe, or vibrant colours for a busy street café. Its dual-sided or single-sided extension options give you complete control over layout, allowing you to provide cover exactly where it’s needed.
For pubs and beer gardens, it’s an ideal setup for outdoor drinkers and diners, especially during unpredictable British weather. You can cover picnic benches or tables and keep the atmosphere going without worrying about showers or intense sun. Restaurants can use the awning to extend dining capacity and create a premium outdoor seating area that feels just as welcoming as indoors.
Hotels can install the Butterfly Awning near entranceways, poolside bars, or garden dining areas to offer guests a relaxing outdoor environment with added comfort and protection.
Each side of the awning operates independently, giving you the flexibility to open or close sections throughout the day depending on demand, weather, or event use. The freestanding nature also means it can be repositioned or moved if your outdoor layout changes in the future.
Whether you're looking to boost trade, improve customer comfort, or create a standout space, the Butterfly Awning is a high-impact, practical solution that enhances any hospitality setting.
