Elevate Event Versatility with Custom Wedding Pavilion Sides
The Vulnerability of Open-Air Venue Structures
Wedding pavilions and outdoor event timber frames offer a stunning aesthetic, but they leave planners and hosts at the mercy of unpredictable weather. Without a robust lateral barrier, a sudden shift in wind, driving rain, or even an evening temperature drop can compromise the comfort of guests and the safety of expensive décor and catering setups. Standard temporary gazebo sides often appear flimsy and "cheap," detracting from the high-end atmosphere of a wedding. Furthermore, permanent glazing is often too restrictive and costly, leaving venue owners in search of a professional-grade solution that provides a total environmental seal without sacrificing the "open-air" feel that makes these structures desirable.
Durable, High-Clarity Enclosures for Event Excellence
Our custom wedding pavilion sides provide a rugged yet sophisticated solution designed to transform open structures into all-weather, luxury environments. While we are industry leaders in industrial welding curtains and heavy-duty barriers, we apply that same technical expertise to the event sector. These panels are manufactured from high-tensile, UV-stabilized reinforced vinyl and premium clear-view PVC. Mounted on smooth-running, low-profile track systems, these sides can be deployed in minutes to block wind and rain, or retracted and tied back to maintain a minimalist look. This "soft-wall" technology provides a drum-tight fit that mimics permanent windows while offering the tactical flexibility required for seasonal hospitality.
Strategic Benefits of Tailored Pavilion Enclosures
- Total Weather and Wind Mitigation: Creating an impermeable, 100% waterproof barrier that blocks horizontal rain and wind-chill, ensuring guest comfort regardless of external conditions.
- Crystal-Clear Vision and Natural Light: Utilizing high-clarity, non-yellowing clear vinyl panels that preserve the scenic views of the venue while providing a complete physical seal.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability with Aesthetic Appeal: Constructed from flame-retardant, mildew-resistant PVC that meets strict safety codes while maintaining a clean, professional appearance suitable for high-end events.
- Custom Mounting and Operation: Precision-tailored to fit the unique geometry of your timber frame or pavilion, featuring heavy-duty fasteners and track hardware designed for effortless, frequent use.

Video Overview
Better Than Thin Film
You can find clear film online for around €40, but it typically lasts only minutes in harsh weather. AKON does not supply film material, as we focus on industrial and commercial-grade solutions. We use thick 20 mil and 30 mil clear PVC designed to withstand winter conditions, strong winds, and UV exposure. Our material is also custom-sized, so you don’t have excess plastic flapping in the wind, which not only looks untidy but also performs poorly at keeping out the weather.
Benefits
- MADE TO YOUR EXACT DIMENSIONS: Unlike one-size-fits-all clear tarps, you provide the precise measurements you need. This results in a much more professional-looking installation. AKON clear custom tarp curtains are used in thousands of outdoor applications across the USA. Note: due to folding and shipping, sizes may vary by up to 2.5 cm.
- HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL: All custom clear tarps are waterproof, rainproof, UV-rated, and winter rated. These transparent tarps are designed for outdoor use where you want a clear line of sight while keeping out the wind and rain.
- MULTIPLE USES AND SIZES: Use your custom clear tarp with grommets to protect people, furniture, and equipment. These versatile transparent tarps are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Common applications include clear patio curtains, deck curtains, porch curtains, industrial curtains, gazebo curtains, greenhouse covers, balcony curtains, and more.
- MOUNTING OPTIONS: Each custom-sized clear tarp can be made with optional grommets, snaps, twist locks, or pockets. These options allow for quick and secure mounting on one or all sides.
- ZIPPER or MAGNETIC ENTRANCES: Unhooking a tarp to enter can be inconvenient, so we offer clear tarps with zipper or magnetic openings for quick access. Walk in easily, then seal it behind you.
- REINFORCED EDGES: The clear PVC material includes reinforced webbing around the edges for extra strength. This prevents fasteners from tearing out during windy conditions. Note: only clear tarps require webbing, as opaque vinyl is already internally reinforced.
- SHIPS IN 7–10 WORKING DAYS: Quality fabrication takes a little longer, but the result is a perfect fit. Custom-sized tarps install cleanly and avoid the loose, messy look of generic covers. These tarps are made specifically for you and come with a 1-year defect warranty. Please note: custom tarps are non-refundable unless defective.

Considerations
USES
Common uses include clear patio curtains, deck curtains, porch curtains, industrial curtains, gazebo curtains, greenhouse covers, balcony curtains, throw tarps, and more.
SHRINKAGE
PVC expands and contracts slightly with temperature changes and folding. Tarps are made to your exact size, but may vary by up to 2.5 cm after shipping and weather exposure. Allow a little tolerance when measuring.
HEAT SEALING
Heat seals are placed either vertically or horizontally at AKON’s discretion for tarps wider than 137 cm.
If you prefer to specify heat-seal placement, just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
Here is a useful video explaining heat seals.
