A Cabrio rooftop enclosure turns the top of your building into usable floor space you can book, seat, and staff every day of the year. Rooftop spaces carry prime views and premium construction costs, so leaving them dark half the year because of wind, rain, or cold is money left on the table.
Whether you are weatherproofing a bar, a hotel terrace, an event deck, or a pool, a retractable rooftop from Cabrio gives you a roof and walls that open when the weather is good and close when it turns. As we like to say, “Any weather is rooftop weather with a Cabrio Structure.”
Cabrio systems let you adapt your rooftop environment effortlessly:
The possibilities are endless for creating the perfect atmosphere, no matter the weather.
Cabrio’s retractable roofs are available in multiple designs to suit your site:
Our opening wall systems are equally versatile, featuring heights of up to 10 feet and spans exceeding 20 feet—designed to meet even the most exquisite site requirements.
Depending on the site, that means a CabrioFlex retractable roof, a fixed-glass CabrioFixed roof, or a fully integrated CabrioEnclosure. For $10M+ luxury rooftops, the upcoming CabrioLux pairs an insulated steel roof over a retractable glass roof for a seamless closed appearance in both hot and cold climates.
Enclosing a rooftop is not the same job as enclosing a ground-level patio. At elevation you deal with higher wind loads, tighter weight limits on the existing deck, and roof penetrations that have to stay watertight. That is why a rooftop structure needs engineering, not just a cover thrown over the space.
Every Cabrio system is built for these conditions. Our patented framing spans up to 120 feet clear with no welding and no cross-bracing, so you keep the open sightlines that make a rooftop worth visiting. Whether you install a CabrioEnclosure or an independent CabrioFlex structure, it is engineered to the local snow and wind code and backed by a 20-year limited warranty.
A CabrioEnclosure connects the roof and walls into one integrated unit, so the whole rooftop seals as a single room when closed. It is the simpler package when you want the deck to open up in good weather and button up completely when it turns.
An independent Cabrio structure (CabrioFlex or CabrioFixed on steel columns and headers) runs the roof and walls separately, giving you patented weather control over each element on its own. Open the roof while the walls stay closed against wind, or drop the walls while the roof stays put; each part moves independently.
For large rooftop bars and event decks over 100 feet, CabrioEnclosure XL handles the span without interior columns breaking up the floor. Our team helps you choose between a CabrioEnclosure and an independent structure based on your deck size, load capacity, and how you plan to use the space.
Every rooftop earns its keep differently. Explore how a Cabrio retractable rooftop works for your kind of space.
Keep the rooftop bar serving through wind and rain. Open the roof on clear nights, close it when the front rolls in, and add covered seats that book year-round.
Turn a rooftop terrace into a signature amenity guests remember. A CabrioEnclosure protects the view and keeps the space bookable for weddings and events off-season.
Sell dates without a weather contingency plan. An independent CabrioFlex structure gives planners the open-air look with a guaranteed dry, heated room on standby.
Extend the swim season on a rooftop pool deck. Open the roof for sun, close it against wind and cool nights, and keep the deck usable well past summer.
Want just the roof, not full walls? A standalone CabrioFlex retractable roof gives a rooftop shade and rain protection that slides open on demand.
