'The room outdoors'

The Patiola is a semi-permanent, robust, fixed terrace cover structure with steel uprights. The material is pulled under tension down side guides to give a very strong, taut cover capable of dispersing rainwater as well as protecting from the sun.

The pertinent points to consider include:

The Patiola boasts a strong structure; the steel uprights are bolted to a hard standing area, the fully waterproof fabric is impervious to adverse weather conditions.

An optional extra is the very desirable addition of a full length cover that can be extended to ground level providing a truly protected recreation area with an alfresco flavour. Side blinds can also be added to create a totally enclosed area, ideal for serious entertaining. Add halogen lighting and infra red heating and you really have created a 'room outdoors'.

The Patiola is electrically operated as standard with a choice of hand held remote controls or internal and external control devices.


The Patiola is a fully cassetted unit and all the material will roll into an aluminium box when retracted fully. Extra horizontal aluminium rollers are used when the pitch angle is shallow or the unit very large to prevent rainwater 'pooling' in pockets in the material cover.

The limits of the Patiola terrace awning with a 230mm x 270mm case are:
- Min. Width: 2500mm
- Max. Width: 5000mm
- Max. Projection: 6000mm
- Max. Surface: 30m²

Several units can be combined adjacent to each other or back to back, when the surface exceeds 30m². Special designed rainwater guttering is installed inbetween each coupled unit to ensure the water is carried away efficiently.

The case with side end caps, the guides with footplates, the rollers & front profile are made of aluminium and are corrosion resistant. The framework comes as standard powder coated in white (RAL9010) or brown (RAL8019).You can also choose from all the RAL colour ranges at extra cost.

Choose from a wide range of colours from the Dickson Orchestra 50TT range with waterproof properties.

50TT ALL WEATHER FABRIC
The 50TT fabrics are subject to a special acrylic coating, resistant to water and UV. They are perfectly adapted to applications where extra water resistancy is required (cafe terraces, commercial properties, heavy duty domestic). The coated side should be used as the underside of the awning
