Introducing the

Commercial Butterfly Awning

ShadeZones Commercial Butterfly Awning support structure allows you to fit awnings on both sides to shade especially large open spaces and locations - perfect for the hospitality industry.

The Butterfly Awning is a versatile solution in ShadeZone’s hospitality range, offering customisation options to complement the branding of your restaurant, café, bar, or hotel.

The Butterfly Awning is a freestanding, retractable awning or canopy system. Unlike traditional awnings attached to buildings, this structure stands independently, extending on both sides or just one, depending on your business's needs. As a beer tent or shading for sizeable social gatherings, our Butterfly Awning arrangement shade roofing is the perfect solution. No walls are required to attach the awnings, and the awnings themselves can be opened individually as and when needed.
