Is rain washing away your patio profits? In Burnaby Heights, fall storms often bring empty tables and lost revenue. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

PCC (Pacific Coast Contracting) specialises in all-weather patio upgrades that extend your outdoor dining season and boost income—even during wet, windy months. From strategic drainage systems to heat-zoned comfort, we design patios that perform like indoor dining—without the four walls.

Your ‘Cosy Fall Patio’ Is Costing You

Drippy awnings and wet cushions don’t just hurt ambience—they drain your bottom line. Many Burnaby Heights restaurants see their outdoor income plummet in the fall.

You might not notice every drop, but:

Guests cut meals short
Tables go unused
Check sizes shrink
Ratings drop due to discomfort

A single wet weekend can cost thousands. Multiply that by 12 weeks, and you’re looking at a major revenue leak.

Generic Patio Covers Don’t Cut It

Umbrellas and vinyl curtains might be fine in July—but they fail in the fall. The Burnaby climate demands better.

Common Failures:

Water drips over seating areas
Cold winds blow through gaps
Guests shiver or leave early
Temporary fixes collapse or mildew

What PCC Does Differently

Challenge	Industry Issue	PCC’s Solution
Water pooling	Unsanitary, unsafe spaces	Scupper-drain systems
Wind & cold exposure	Low stay time	Wind baffles + infrared heating
Visual discomfort	Low Instagram appeal	Ambient lighting + clean lines
Maintenance burden	Staff waste time fixing	Durable, low-touch systems
