Ford's Garage

Every single sunny Florida day, the sun sets and sends its glare right into the patio of Ford’s Garage restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida.

If you own a restaurant, you know the importance of being able to use all of your seating all of the time. Here at Fenetex we understand that you have to meet your bottom line and give your customers the best experience possible, which is a primary benefit of our retractable shade screens. 

Ford’s Garage offers prime burgers, craft beer, and a fun 1920s service station vibe. Being in Florida, their outdoor dining area is south facing, which means extremely harsh direct sunlight for most of the afternoon.  

They were faced with a difficult choice – seat less people outside during the hottest times of day and make less money, or invest in high-quality screens that will allow people to sit outside no matter the weather.   

They chose to have Fenetex shade screens installed and have been happy ever since! They’ve increased their bottom line, and most importantly, they’ve reclaimed their outdoor space.

Enjoying a nice meal outdoors is one of life’s greatest simple pleasures. Unfortunately, the weather may not always cooperate. Fenetex retractable shade screens are the perfect solution to this problem. They block up to 97% of the sun’s rays, so you can enjoy your meal al fresco without the sun scorching your skin.  

Our shade screens are good for more than just blocking harsh sun; the tight mesh of the shade screens does a good job of keeping out wind-driven rain and mitigating the effects of windy days. So your customers can comfortably enjoy their meal with a side of fresh air.
