How To Choose A Market Umbrella For Your Restaurant
|
The market umbrella does not have a valance but it does have a wind vent that helps prevent wind damage. The main difference between a market and patio umbrella is the quality. Market umbrellas are built a little sturdier using a little stronger material and are designed to be able to withstand a commercial application. You will need to consider the following elements to ensure you get the umbrella that's designed for your application. 1. SizeYou need to determine what size of umbrella you will need. Measure your table and chairs space if that's where you'll be using it. If your outside patio space holds several tables you'll need to make sure you leave adequate space between. Your umbrella should be 4 to 5 feet larger than the table and chair space. 2. PositionYou need to know where you want to put the umbrella to provide shade before you can choose the right one. You'll likely be using the style that goes through the center of a table. Remember that the larger umbrellas will provide better protection from the shade but they also require more room. For your outdoor patio the table style is the best choice and will give you the flexibility you need. 3. StandThere are different types of stands on the market. Generally for an umbrella that will be used a base is filled with sand and then the table itself also provides support. This is the most common and most affordable for the application you are going to be doing. 4. MaterialThere are all kinds of materials on the market but one of the main purposes on your mind is to protect you and your guests from the UV rays of the sun so make sure the material you choose does that. PVC usually blocks 100% UV and it also works to block the rain. Canvas is durable and blocks the UV rays nicely. It can block the rain if you spay it with a waterproofing spray. Basic cloth blocks up to 95% of the UV rays and can block a light shower but nothing heavier. 5. FrameUmbrellas are made with either a wood or a metal frame. Your best choice will likely be the metal frame because it allows you to angle the umbrella in a almost any direction by using a button to tilt and a crank system. This is especially a great choice for a restaurant atmosphere.6. TiltThere are three different tilt systems on the market which include the push button, crank tilt, and collar tilt which is the easiest to use and remember keeping it simple for your customers is important. Whether you buy one market umbrella or several it is important to make certain you choose ones that will compliment your patio seating while providing functionality for your customers.
