Solving Wind & Rain Awning Needs: Our Pitchoun Bakery Project at the Beverly Center Mall

​
​Living in sunny Southern California sometimes creates the illusion that wind and rain aren’t problems for us or our property. The reality is, wind and rain can damage awnings and other shade structures, even in So. Cal. For Pitchoun Bakery at the southwest corner of the Beverly Center Mall in Los Angeles, CA, finding the right wind and rain resistant awning was their challenge.

​Luckily, we were able to help them and in August 2018, we installed a large retractable awning that could handle the rigors of the wind and rain that is common to the area. We suggested they use a Stobag Stoboscope retractable awning, which features telescopic arms that are tensioned with gas pressure cylinders. By using an awning that does not have elbows, Stobag has created an awning which can handle 20% more wind than a standard retractable. This is the perfect product for restaurant and hospitality locations that rely on their patios to generate income.

​The bakery owners also chose to use a Sunbrella Orange fabric, which was a similar match to their color scheme. As a precaution, we made sure the fabric was fire-treated by American Flame Coat. The result of the combined Stobag retractable awning and fire-treated Sunbrella fabric was a beautiful and bright, sunny patio space that attracts attention and ultimately, helps generate sales and revenue for the bakery.
 
At American Awning and Blind Co., we understand the nuances of business and the troubles of the ever-changing weather patterns; we know which awning or shade structure is best for you. Don’t let wind and rain prevent you from creating a great outdoor dining, shopping, or lounge experience for your guests; that’s just missed sales opportunities.
