OVERVIEW
With the AKON range of outdoor curtains, you can protect your belongings, guests, and interior spaces from the elements. These clear outdoor curtains are a practical alternative to fixed walls and cost a fraction of the price. Fitting is quick and easy with no specialist tools required. There are three options for mounting: grommets for a simple hook-on installation, a curtain track system for smooth sliding operation, or twist locks for quick-release panels.
Outdoor curtain enclosures are one of the most popular solutions we supply to UK hospitality businesses. Pubs, restaurants, and hotels across Britain use them to extend their outdoor seating season from early spring through to late autumn. The clear vinyl panels maintain visibility and natural light whilst providing effective shelter from wind, rain, and cooler temperatures.
For commercial premises, outdoor curtain enclosures can also help satisfy local licensing conditions by creating a defined boundary for al fresco dining areas. The curtains are removable, so they do not typically require planning permission, making them a flexible choice for both freehold and leasehold properties.
Easy to Fit
Outdoor curtains come with grommets at the top, making hanging quick and easy with or without the curtain track.
Cost-Effective
Outdoor curtains cost roughly a third of other separation methods, such as rigid walls or panel systems, and are easy to store when not needed.
Temperature Control
Maintain more consistent temperatures inside for a more comfortable environment, and pull the curtains open when not needed.
Wind Blocking
Keep the wind and rain out when the weather turns, but still have the ability to pull the curtain open when conditions improve or you need access.
Easy to Clean Slick Material
Outdoor Curtain Benefits
- Produced from vinyl, these curtains are very strong, long-lasting, and waterproof.
- The vinyl is slick, unlike fabric curtains, so it has the added benefit of being easy to wipe clean.
- The slick surface is less likely to harbour mould, unlike outdoor fabric canvas curtains.
- The waterproof vinyl keeps rain and moisture out, protecting furniture and flooring.

Static Mount
Static mount is one of the most common mounting styles for outdoor vinyl curtains. With the use of grommets and pockets on the edges of the curtains you can use a multitude of fasteners on the market to hang your curtains. This style is most common for winter time as you would install the curtains and leave them up for longer periods of time. Please note that AKON does not sell fasteners.

Rolling Mount
If you need to have side to side movement for frequent entering and exiting then curtain track with roller hooks is the ideal installation method. Choose from 5 different track supports to mount to your structure.
Roll Up Mount
Another option for frequent usage is roll up hardware. When access is needed you simply roll up the curtains and they store in the raised position. This style comes in both hand cord which is the most common and premium hand crank roll up which is the most expensive.
