Commercial Screen Enclosures
Arkansas evenings are beautiful until the mosquitoes show up. A screen enclosure keeps insects, leaves and debris out of your outdoor space while letting the breeze through. Hot Springs Awning builds custom screen enclosures for restaurants, hotels, apartment amenities and outdoor work areas.

Framing and Construction
Most commercial screen enclosures use aluminum framing because it is light, strong and will not rust. Frames are anchored to the floor and to the existing roof or cover. Kick plates along the bottom protect the screen from chairs, carts and feet. Intermediate rails add strength on tall walls. Doors are sized for guest traffic and accessibility and can be fitted with closers so they shut behind each person.
Planning for Traffic and Access
A restaurant patio, pool deck or break area sees constant foot traffic. We plan door locations around how guests and staff actually move, including routes to restrooms, kitchens and parking. Wider openings or double doors can make service easier. For accessible entries, we plan door widths and thresholds with care.
Seasonal Flexibility
Screens are perfect for warm months, but some businesses want more protection in winter. We can combine screen walls with removable or roll-down clear vinyl panels so the same space works in summer and in cooler weather. Motorized or rope-operated shades can be added for sun control.
Care and Repairs
Screens are easy to maintain. Brush or vacuum dust and pollen, rinse with a gentle spray of water and clean frames with mild soap. Avoid pressure washers, which can stretch or tear mesh. If a panel is damaged, we can rescreen it individually without rebuilding the whole enclosure.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the length and height of walls, the number of doors, mesh type, framing details such as kick plates and rails, and whether you add vinyl panels or shades. We quote after measuring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We can build screen walls under most existing covers and pergolas.
We do rescreening and repairs, so a damaged panel can be replaced without rebuilding.
Ask about roll-down or removable panel options for seasonal use.
Screens slightly reduce airflow, but most guests find a screened patio more comfortable because they are not fighting insects. Ceiling fans help keep air moving.
Properly framed and anchored enclosures hold up well. Screens allow wind to pass through, which reduces stress compared with solid walls.
Screen enclosures usually need a roof or cover. We can build a cover and screen walls together.
