Large Umbrellas for Commercial Applications

The previous habit of pairing a single umbrella with a single table or chair is quickly falling by the wayside as commercial more commonly relying on large umbrellas to cover multiple areas with shade and weather protection. Large umbrellas with spans of 10-20 feet are quickly gaining popularity because of their space efficiency, time/labor savings, and their durability.

A large umbrella can cover multiple tables, chairs, customers etc., with a single unobtrusive column; rather than having many small umbrellas covering an area, each with their own column. Having less space occupied creates a cleaner more open space that invites guests to take a break beneath the shade. Large umbrellas can often cover the same amount of space that would previously require four smaller umbrellas.

Another benefit to using large umbrellas is their ability to save time and money. Many commercial settings have an employee open every umbrella each morning and collapse them each evening. This requires more time with each umbrella. By saving space with a large umbrella, less units require opening and as a result employees will need less time to complete their rounds. This may not sound like significant savings, but even cutting 10 minutes a day could save hundreds of dollars each year.

Residential umbrellas typically use smaller frames that are considerably smaller and less durable than a commercial umbrella. Typically, commercial umbrellas are larger and durable than a typical residential umbrella. This comes with the need for a dependable and long lasting umbrella. Some large umbrellas, such as those from Skyspan Structures, not only boast considerable sizes but also have wind ratings of 75 mph winds. This not only allows for a large umbrella to provide a lot of shade but also stay open even during steady winds.
