How Meddy's Turned A Winter-Shut Patio Into Year-Round Seating

April 16, 2026

How Meddy's Turned A Winter-Shut Patio Into Year-Round Seating Winter Shut Down Their Patio We Made It Usable Again. For a busy restaurant, empty tables cost money. But what's worse is empty tables outside while customers wait inside. That was the situation at Meddy's, a growing Mediterranean restaurant in Kansas City. Their patio was one of their most popular features( other than their delicious food! ) until winter hit. Once cold temperatures and wind rolled in, the patio became unusable. Even with heaters running, guests wouldn't sit outside. The space sat empty while demand stayed high inside. Staff were forced to manage long wait times while available seating went unused. Meddy's brought us in to solve it. This wasn't a design issue. It was a performance problem. The Real Problem Was Wind At first glance, the patio felt too cold to use. But the heaters were already there. The space was fully exposed. Wind moved straight through the patio and pulled heat out as fast as it was produced. The heaters never had a chance to do their job. Even with both built-in ceiling heaters and portable propane heaters running, they still couldn't keep the patio warm enough for guests.

The Window Two Other Companies Couldn’t Shutter

The Antique Window Other Companies Called “Impossible To Have Shutters” How Our Custom Direct-Mount Solution Preserved A 100-Year-Old Home’s Architecture Laura wasn’t trying to do anything unusual. She just wanted plantation shutters installed on the front of her home. All the other windows were straightforward. Our new shutters immediately improved the look of the house. But one window stopped the project. A handcrafted, cross-pattern window built into the home over 100 years ago . And every company she called gave her the same answer: “Shutters won’t work there.” They suggested a simple solution – just install a square shade above the window and cover it completely. Sure, it would block light. But it would also hide the antique trim and erase one of the home’s most unique architectural details. For Laura, that wasn’t a solution.

Tim's New Patio Blocks Winter At The Push Of A Button

By Tim Sanders • April 14, 2026

Tim’s Patio Blocks Winter With One Button And Lets His Pup Out On Command Our Exterior Shades Turned His Back Deck Into A Year-Round Space “Alexa, dogs out.” Tim says it from his couch, then a patio shade lifts automatically so his pup can run into the yard. A moment later, it drops back down, sealing the space from the 20° wind chill outside. It’s a small moment that shows how his patio works now. Because not long ago, that same wind made the space unusable. Cold air moved straight through the patio and pulled heat away instantly. Even bundled up, it wasn’t comfortable to sit outside. This meant the deck sat mostly empty for months, with furniture covered and unused. Then our Solar Shield Blinds team installed motorized 95% exterior solar shades – like “sunglasses” for a patio. It keeps the beautiful view – but blocks winter. By cutting the wind, the heat stays in, and the entire space works differently. Now Tim can sit outside in a T-shirt… in the middle of winter.
