CabrioEnclosure: Commercial and Multi-Purpose Enclosures

2026 INDUSTRY RECOGNITION

Honored for Excellence in Retractable Roof Systems

CabrioEnclosure for Custom Commercial Spaces

CabrioEnclosure is more than a retractable roof. It is a complete enclosure system designed to create a flexible indoor-outdoor environment.

Instead of treating overhead coverage and side protection as separate elements, CabrioEnclosure is designed as one integrated architectural solution. This makes it a strong fit for commercial spaces where the enclosure needs to look intentional, operate efficiently, and support daily use.

Each CabrioEnclosure is designed around the project’s layout, site conditions, structural requirements, and intended use. This allows the system to be adapted for ground-level spaces, rooftop applications, and existing commercial environments where integration matters.

Key Features of CabrioEnclosure

CabrioEnclosure is designed for commercial settings where guest comfort, staff operation, durability, and long-term performance all matter. It is built for spaces that need to function reliably across changing weather, seasons, and daily operating demands.

Here are a few key features of the CabrioEnclosure

  • Engineered for Your Space: Every CabrioEnclosure is designed to fit the architectural and functional requirements of your project before installation.
  • Integrated Roof and Wall System: The roof and wall components create a unified system that can transition between open-air and protected configurations while maintaining a clean architectural appearance.
  • Retractable Open-Air Operation: CabrioEnclosure can open to bring in fresh air, natural light, and the outdoor atmosphere guests expect from a patio, rooftop, or amenity space. 
  • Natural Light and Visibility: Clear or translucent enclosure materials help preserve daylight and visibility while adding protection. 

Benefits of CabrioEnclosure

  • Gives operators more control over guest comfort, scheduling, reservations, and event continuity
  • Uses a unified roof-and-wall design instead of disconnected coverage or enclosure elements
  • Maintains an open, welcoming atmosphere with daylight, views, and airflow when desired
  • Supports cleaner daily operation by simplifying how the space opens, closes, and functions
  • Tailored to the project footprint, structural conditions, traffic levels, and intended use
  • Best for patios, rooftops, hospitality spaces, aquatic facilities, event venues, and other commercial outdoor areas

How CabrioEnclosure Systems Work

Each enclosure is built around a precision-engineered framework that forms the structural backbone of the system and ensures long-term stability across both fixed and retractable configurations.

Depending on the project, the system is either anchored to engineered foundation points such as piers at ground level or adapted for rooftop applications where it integrates with existing structural conditions. This allows the same system to be deployed across a wide range of commercial and architectural settings.

In operation, the enclosure transitions between two primary states. In the open position, the system allows full exposure to natural light, airflow, and outdoor conditions. In the closed position, it forms a protected environment that shields the space from wind, rain, and temperature variations while maintaining usability.

Is CabrioEnclosure Right for Your Project?

CabrioEnclosure may be the right fit if your project needs more than overhead coverage.

Choose CabrioEnclosure when you need a complete roof and wall system that can open and close, protect the space from changing weather, and preserve the feeling of an outdoor environment.

For projects over 100 feet wide, CabrioEnclosureXL may be the better fit. For projects that only need overhead coverage, CabrioFlex, CabrioLux, or CabrioFixed may be more appropriate depending on the desired level of flexibility and permanence.

One of St. Paul’s Best Patios Just Got Better
Over at Patrick McGovern’s, one of St. Paul’s best patios just got better. Last week, it debuted a new retractable roof. And this is no rinky-dink roof, either. The stone patio is now fully enclosed — like a shimmering glass house erected with wide steel beams. Here’s the cool part: The...

Expanding Patio Season with Cabreeze™
Patrick McGovern’s co-owner Pat Boemer said the pub’s planned Cabreeze™ would extend its patio season from three-plus months to eight or nine months a year while providing space for crowds from the nearby Xcel Energy Center.

Weatherproof and Ready
With UV protection, a retractable roof, a 90-mph wind rating, and the ability to withstand heavy snow loads, the Cabreeze™ can hack whatever weather Minnesota can muster … It is affectionately known as the ‘snow globe’ and ‘Lake Elmo’s newest chapel.’

A Game-Changer for Patrick McGovern’s Patio
Lake Elmo Inn chef-owner John Schiltz said his Cabreeze™ enabled him to seat 1,000 extra diners during the holidays and 500 extra during Valentine’s weekend in his 35-seat patio, which he previously covered with a temporary tent. His family celebrated Christmas in the Cabreeze™, which he heats to operate year-round.
Owner
Cabreeze Restaurant
The main benefit of the Cabreeze™ is that I don’t have to study the weather every day before we open the patio. Our restaurant is so popular, if I gambled wrong with the weather, I’d have nowhere to put those people.
Pat Boemer
Owner, Patrick McGovern’s
Year-to-date we’re up 12% and, in August, up more than 20% over last year which is the first time in 30 years of business we’ve had that high of monthly increase!

Turning Patios into Year-Round Attractions
John Schiltz, owner of the Lake Elmo Inn, has always had good patio business, but with the addition of a Cabreeze™ structure, he can now cash in on this business year-round.

The Cabreeze™ is so bright and sunny, I love serving out there!

We heard about the ‘snow globe’ from John talking about it on the radio and came over for our first time from Minneapolis. We love it!
John Schiltz
Owner, Lake Elmo Inn
We used to have a tent on our patio and no matter how we dressed it up it was still a tent. Our Cabreeze™ is not only functional, but it looks fantastic and adds to the character of our building.
John Schiltz
Owner, Lake Elmo Inn
In December we seated over 1,000 additional guests ($50,000+ additional revenue) on our patio. Living in Minnesota I never thought I would be able to say that.
