What Is The Difference Between A Home Patio Umbrella And A Commercial Patio Umbr

Posted by Cheeky Umbrella on August 21st, 2019

A patio umbrella in a commercial setting (restaurant, bar, cafe or hotel) gets much more rigorous use than one in a residential/home setting - it is open and closed many more times, it is moved around a lot, and it is not cared for as well by staff as a home user would care for it. As a result, if you are a commercial business seeking patio umbrellas, it is important to choose a patio umbrella that has been designed specifically for commercial use, or you will likely experience frequent breakage. Here are a few quick tips for what to look for in commercial patio umbrellas:

• Simple operation. Tilt and/or crank open are not recommended for commercial patio umbrellas since they are the most susceptible areas for breakage. Choose manual open styles and solid, non-tilting poles.
• Durable frames. Fiberglass ribs are recommended for commercial patio umbrellas since they are flexible and durable, to withstand wind and rough handling.
• Fade-resistant fabric. A fabric that holds its colour is important for commercial patio umbrellas that will be used every day in the spring/summer.
• Heavy bases: Bases that are 25-35kg (depending on the size of the umbrella) are important. A base that is too light could mean an umbrella could blow over on a customer.
