  3. Don't Skimp on Commercial Beach Umbrellas - They Play a Huge Part in the Resort Experience

    Don't Skimp on Commercial Beach Umbrellas - They Play a Huge Part in the Resort Experience

    Commercial beach umbrellas are a key part of the guest experienc

    In the old days in China, the wealth of a person was measured by how many people carried their umbrella. Some umbrellas reportedly required the muscle power of 24 people. That's rich. When it comes to a resort or park treating their guests like royalty, you also want to make sure you use high-quality commercial beach umbrellas.

    The reasons? Liability, safety and durability. Numerous lawsuits have been filed by people who have been injured by flying umbrellas. In New York State, a woman was awarded $200,000 after a beach umbrella hit her in the head and she suffered a gash that required 13 stitches and was left with permanent nerve damage.

    Tips and Advice for Property Managers from Chris George, CEO of The Park Catalog

    This is an open letter to property managers from across country.

    The Park Catalog is the property managers' catalog.

    The Park Catalog has been serving property managers for a long time because we know and understand the needs of both you and the properties you manage.

    Property management companies and properties alike have reputations. "A dangerous parking lot," is not the reputation you want associated with your property.   We all aim to shine a positive light on public spaces, trying to promote testimonies like "Clean," "well lit," "safe" and "attractive."
