Filippo's Ristorante Italiano Patio Enclosure

Staten Island restaurant Filippo's has just completed a great idea to keep their patrons comfortable during this Spring and Summer season. They've chosen to enclose a patio area for increased privacy and to create a more intimate dining environment.
See the open area in the "Before" photos below and check out the "After" photos taken upon the installation completion. Clear vinyl "windows" were added at the tops of each panel to allow light to enter the new room. These days many businesses are looking to renovate as well as bring in new clientele and something that is quick and cost effective such as enclosing a patio can really add to a restaurant's atmosphere.
