Commercial umbrellas provide shade at a charter school

Commercial umbrellas that are sturdy, secure, durable and appealing are certainly the type of umbrellas you want when adding shade to an area outside such as a school, hotel, restaurant or park.

The Arts in Action Community Charter Schools in Los Angeles chose our 364-Series umbrellas with those qualities from The Park and Facilities Catalog.

According to Stephanie Conde, director of facilities, these commercial-grade umbrellas were added to a charming outdoor break area to compliment the picnic tables, trees, and grass.

"We wanted to provide a comfortable shaded area for our students but not take away from all the trees and landscaping we have in the area," she said.

The school purchased 18 umbrellas along with super-strong concrete
