New England in late April:
Monday: Opens every window in the house
Tuesday: Turns the heat back on
Wednesday: Wears shorts and a winter coat at the same time
Thursday: Seriously considers moving somewhere warm
Friday: It’s 62 degrees and suddenly life is beautiful again
With temperature swings and unpredictable weather the norm most of the year, it can be difficult to decide whether an open-air venue makes sense — or whether to play it safe with four walls. With PowerLift Hydraulic Doors, you don't have to choose.
These hydraulically driven doors swing outward in one smooth motion, opening up an entire wall when conditions are right and closing back up when they're not. Every door we build is custom-designed for the specific opening, materials, and environmental conditions of the project — including the wind and snow loads that come with doing business in New England.
See what that looks like in action at a Salem, NH beer garden we helped bring to life: https://macyindustries.com/blog/rethink-what-a-door-can-do-with-powerlift
