Commercial umbrellas made with marine-grade, anti-fade fabric at a tech park in Kingston, Jamaica
Commercial Umbrellas are an absolute necessity for any outdoor dining area these days.
With record high temperatures, today more than ever people need a place where they can take a break from the sun's unrelenting rays.
That's where commercial umbrellas come in.
Even in places like Kingston, Jamaica.
Just ask the folks at the 58HWT Project managed by the Stanley Motta company.
The complex is the largest business process outsourcing and technology park in the English-speaking Caribbean islands.
According to Property Manager Tina Smart, the company needed some umbrellas to keep workers cool at their outdoor picnic tables.
They chose the 7.5 Diameter Steel Umbrellas with the 8-Panel Sunbrella Cover from The Park and Facilities Catalog.
"The users of the site love the seating and umbrellas as they provide much-needed shade from the sun," she said. "We at Stanley Motta are very pleased with the product."
The key to purchasing the right kind of umbrellas for non-residential use is to choose commercial-grade parts, hardware and fabrics.
Consumer umbrellas from a store usually won't cut it in busy work areas, restaurants or hotels.
The umbrellas in those areas usually have to withstand lots of heavy use by people. In addition, they must endure constant exposure outside in the elements.

As everyone knows, the sun's UV rays can be brutal.
So, let's start with the canopy fabric.
This commercial umbrella from The Park and Facilities Catalog uses Sunbrella fabric, which is one of the premium marine-grade fabrics in the world. This is one tough fabric. The canopy can withstand the suns rays for a countless number of days. It's so durable in fact, that we back it with a 5-year no-fade warranty.
What's great about our commercial umbrellas is the big array of vibrant colors that are available. Some of those colors or patterns include beach ball, blue and white, US flag, forest green, Capri blue, logo red, navy blue, orange, oyster, pacific blue, pistachio, teal and white, turquoise, toast, yellow and terra cotta.
And remember, we offer a longer than average warranty against those colors fading.
Next comes the steel skeleton that supports the umbrella fabric. The ribs are 5-millimeter chrome-plated steel held together with stainless steel joints and rivets.
Supporting the skeleton is a 1.3-millimeter thick silver aluminum center pole. Center poles can be ordered in a variety of materials and colors. The umbrella is opened and closed with a heavy-duty manual lift with a push-button tilt. Umbrellas are also available with a crank or pully lift.
These commercial umbrellas are built to last. Yet, you'll find they are priced reasonably. The long lifespan is definitely worth the investment.
