Cabrio Structures™ has been named Retractable Roof Systems Manufacturer of the Year 2026 by Construction Business Review. This recognition highlights the company’s leadership in designing retractable roof systems that combine dependable engineering, architectural flexibility and long-term performance.

The award reflects Cabrio’s ability to transform weather-sensitive areas into adaptable environments for restaurants, hotels, pools, event venues, recreational facilities and residential properties. Through thoughtful design and precise engineering, Cabrio helps customers gain more control over when and how their spaces can be used.

Turning Unpredictable Weather into an Advantage

Outdoor spaces can create valuable seating, gathering and recreational areas, but rain, wind, snow and extreme temperatures often limit their usefulness. Cabrio’s retractable roof systems allow property owners to respond to changing conditions without permanently giving up natural light, fresh air or open views.

As Kent H. Forsland, owner and founder of Cabrio Structures, explains, “Unpredictable weather is a reality everywhere. We turn that unpredictability into an operational advantage our customers can control and benefit from.”

That philosophy guides every Cabrio project. Businesses can use these systems to protect reservations, support event scheduling and extend the earning potential of outdoor areas. Homeowners and residential communities can also create more comfortable spaces for recreation and entertaining.

Engineered for Long-Term Performance

Cabrio approaches retractable roof systems as structural investments, not decorative additions. Each project is developed around the intended use of the space, the building’s architecture and the environmental demands of the location.

“We spend a lot of time understanding what will actually work not just on day one, but years down the line,” Forsland said. “The goal is not to experiment on a job site. It is to deliver solutions that perform exactly as expected over time.”

Cabrio’s retractable roof systems are engineered to account for wind pressure, snow loads, moisture, thermal movement and repeated operating cycles. Patented synchronized drive technology helps moving sections remain aligned, while tension rods and internal locking components support stability.

Every project is engineered for its specific location and requirements. This customized approach helps ensure that each solution is designed for dependable operation instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all system.
