Commercial Outdoor Umbrellas

Running a beach or pool side business is not without its challenges. You want to give your customers a great experience. You must serve the best food and drinks and offer a view that will entertain and relax them. You should also install equipment that will ensure their comfort. Most of your customers will want to spend time in the sun, but they will also want to take a break from it. That is why you should install outdoor umbrellas. 

Umbrellas are crucial to have on bright and sunny afternoons when the sun is shining down. Umbrellas provide much needed shade from the sun’s hot rays, and can help to create a very peaceful outdoor environment. Commercial umbrellas are essential for business and commercial companies to make sure their products will stand the test of time. Commercial umbrellas are extremely durable and can withstand daily rigorous use at resort pools, restaurant patios, and hotel rooftops.

Before You Buy

You should look for commercial-grade outdoor umbrellas. Your purchase will be an investment in your business, and you want to get it right. In addition to style, color, and shape, you must consider some of the more fundamental features of the umbrellas you are thinking of buying.

Features to Consider

Here are some of the things you want to look at:

1. Wind Ratings. This refers to the umbrella’s ability to withstand high winds when it is fully open. If your place is on a beach, gusts of high wind will blow through from time to time. Your umbrella should be wind-rated. Even if there is no local regulation or requirement for this, it is better to have it for your own peace of mind and the safety of your customers. By choosing a wind-rated commercial-grade outdoor umbrella you can be confident that it will stay put on a windy day. 
2. Frame Construction. You should also look closely at the frame construction. This consists of the post, pole, or column that the umbrella sits on and the hardware that holds it together. An aluminum or steel frame is the standard for commercial outdoor umbrellas. The larger the umbrella the stronger you want your frame to be
3. General Design. The design of the umbrella is also important. A poorly constructed umbrella will fall apart soon after it is installed. The umbrella you purchase should be engineered in a way that maximizes the strength of the material it is made of.
4. Base Design. Even the best outdoor umbrella will fall over, fall apart, or blow away if it is without a proper base. A commercial-grade outdoor umbrella should hold the structure firm when it is open no matter the weather conditions. There are two choices here: a bolt-down or an in-ground anchor base. These are the only two that are suitable for umbrellas that are kept permanently outdoors.
5. Solid Warranty. You should not buy from a manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer that does not offer a good warranty. The company you buy from should have enough confidence in its product to offer such a guarantee. And as an entrepreneur, you cannot afford to make such an investment without some mitigation of risk.

How to Choose Commercial Outdoor Umbrellas

Choosing a commercial outdoor umbrella is not the same as selecting an outdoor umbrella for private use. If you run a beachside or poolside café, restaurant, bistro, or other type of hospitality business, then you must choose an umbrella type that is safe and durable. Here are a few tips on how to go about making your purchase:

1. Durability. The biggest part of cost-effectiveness is durability. You should not have to purchase new outdoor umbrellas too frequently. You should select umbrellas that last long while still maintaining a great look. A commercial-grade outdoor umbrella will be resistant to rust, tearing, breakage, fading, and other types of wear and tear. In short, you should choose an umbrella that is built to last.
2. Safety. It may be tempting to buy an umbrella that is made of plastic or cheap metals to save money. What you save in the short-term may cause you trouble in the long-term. These types of umbrellas can rust, break, or fall over with the slightest gust of wind, endangering guests and employees. A commercial-grade outdoor umbrella is much less likely to malfunction or break. This creates a safer environment for everyone.  You should give particular attention to the umbrella’s ability to withstand strong gusts of wind. This is one of the greatest hazards when an umbrella is put on the beach.
3. Ability to Shade. Many of your guests will be sensitive to UV rays. Umbrellas can be highly effective in blocking the sun. Commercial-grade outdoor umbrellas offer 100% protection against UV rays. They will help your customers stay safe.
4. Less Maintenance. You don’t want to buy a commercial outdoor umbrella that you have to spend a great deal of effort and money to maintain. Members of your staff are unlikely to have the expertise needed to conduct extensive maintenance, and it is costly to call in professionals who do. The umbrella you purchase should be easy to clean, it should need its canopy replaced infrequently, and you should not have to engage in any time-consuming maintenance.
5. Compliance. If your place is in a locale with strict regulations and standards, then you must ensure that you purchase a commercial outdoor umbrella that complies with them. It is better to spend the money and be within the law than risk a fine or, in the worst case, the closing of your business.
