How Patio Umbrellas Can Enhance Your Outdoor Spaces?

1/17/2023

Being outdoors is the best way to spend the summer days, with a glass of iced tea and a good book. One challenge of being outdoors is avoiding the sunlight. Because of this, we believe every summer outdoor activity needs a patio umbrella to provide shade and protect people from sunlight. Applying the patio umbrellas outdoors will give a calming effect that makes everyone feel relaxed.

From a business perspective, many business ideas are possible and fun to do outside with a patio umbrella. I hope this insight will give you more ideas to elaborate on and develop your business.

1. Outdoor restaurant

Outdoor dining has become popular, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This restaurant concept is fine and suitable for any occasion, from casual to fine dining, from breakfast to dinner, especially when the menu includes the grilled or barbeque menu. With the high-quality and good-looking outdoor restaurant umbrellas, your outdoor restaurant will have more outdoor space, allowing customers to experience the restaurant more comfortably and allowing you to set up the design and concept of the restaurant more freely. The good thing is that Sofwe has a lot of design varieties to meet any restaurant concept. So, when you have some space outdoors, buy a patio umbrella and be creative with how you set it up. In this way, your restaurant will be on everyone's bucket list. Even if your restaurant does not have an outdoor dining concept, why don't you expand and add more tables and patio umbrellas if you have some outdoor spaces? This allows you to use the space better and generate more revenue. Especially when your restaurant's location is in a scenic area like a park, mountain, ricefield, or river. Sure, everyone would be happy to dine outside while enjoying the scenery.

2. Sunday market/bazaar

Support local economic growth by organizing a Sunday market or outdoor bazaar like a farmer's market, craft stall, trade fair, or flea market. Organizing a Sunday market with a patio umbrella will be a bright business opportunity as everyone, especially tourists, will be interested in visiting the local bazaar. In some places, the local bazaar becomes a tourist attraction. For them, attending a local bazaar is one of the local experiences tourists want to try to get local products and souvenirs. Buy outdoor furniture like a portable table and a patio umbrella if you have some green spaces in a business complex. And then, ask the local entrepreneur or farmer to be your tenant.

3. Beach bar

Apply some patio umbrellas to provide a tropical fun experience on your beach bar. Especially when your beach bar is located in a tropical country where everyone can enjoy the beach all year. The Beach bar, combined with a patio umbrella, is a perfect match. Whenever the concept of your bar is high-end, casual, or even bohemian, every market will be glad to be relaxed under the patio umbrella while enjoying the scenery. You can also request a colorful patio umbrella to give your beach bar more fun.

4. Pool party venue

There is nothing more fun and refreshing during the summer than a pool party. This is the party where everyone will enjoy the holiday under the sunlight. A summer pool party is a time for sunlight, snacks, cooling drinks, a fun game, and a refreshing swim. But, of course, the pool party will not be comfortable without an outdoor or patio umbrella. This umbrella gives shade, UV protection, and joy to everyone at the summer party. Not only will the patio umbrella provide protection, but it will also add an aesthetic and photogenic look to the party venue.

5. Garden party venue

Similar to the pool party, the difference is just no water and less wet. The garden party gives more opportunities and markets; it will be friendly for children and seniors. Very suitable for celebrating wedding parties, birthday parties, gender reveals, and many more. Explore more party concepts you can do in the garden; for example, the dog party will be fun. The spacious area of the garden will allow you to make any party concept, whether you want European concept, Asian, bohemian, or many more. Applying wooden or rattan outdoor furniture can also give a natural touch. You may think of any beautiful idea for the garden party, but don't forget about safety and convenience. Apply some patio umbrellas to give shade and UV protection to the guests.

6. Glamping patio

Staycation is a hype activity to spend during the weekend. Staycation feels like a mini-travel getaway for those with a packed schedule. There are many options for a staycation, but the most popular one is glamping. In some areas, either by the beach or in the mountain, glamping is always everyone's favorite. When travelers go glamping, they're not always inside the tent. Outdoor activities like sports games, picnics, and barbeque always follow glamping. Because of this, to provide the glamping experience, you need more than just a tent and outdoor furniture. You will need something to protect the glampers from the sunlight. The answer is to have a patio umbrella. Be creative with the style and color of your patio umbrella and give the best glamping experience to your customers.

7. Outdoor playground

A patio umbrella will protect children while playing in the outdoor playground. It also gives shade and protection from UV light, so the temperature will be lower. Outdoor playgrounds are always provided with colorful plastic playground equipment, and the sunlight is the worst enemy of plastic. The sun will make the color fade faster. Creating some shades with a patio umbrella will reduce color fading. Not only can a family use a public playground, but any family with a backyard can use a patio umbrella to create their own playground and comfortable outdoor space. For household use, you may inquire about a patio umbrella with the perfect size and dimensions for your space.

How many types of patio umbrellas are out there?

In summary, we can differentiate patio umbrellas into three big groups. They are market umbrellas, cantilever umbrellas, and offset hanging umbrellas. As a patio umbrella supplier and manufacturer, all our umbrellas have passed strict quality inspection tests for high-quality patio umbrellas. If you are interested, please contact us immediately.

1. Market Umbrella
 
It is really easy to recognize the market umbrella or center pole umbrella. A market umbrella is a patio umbrella with a pole in the center. Just like the name, the market umbrella is commonly used to give the shade of a market stall. It can be used as an outdoor restaurant umbrella, outdoor cafe umbrella, outdoor Sunday markets/bazaar umbrella, and beaches umbrella.

2. Cantilever Umbrella
 
A cantilever umbrella is a patio umbrella with a pole on the side, also known as a side-mount or offset patio umbrella. It's relatively more flexible. This is suitable if you want to cover the seating and table area that don't have a center hole to put the umbrella. With this cantilever umbrella, you will have maximum shade coverage.

3. Offset Hanging Umbrella
 
The offset hanging umbrella is more space-saving. There is no central pole, but a side pole supports it. It is simple and stylish, does not take up too much ground area, can be rotated and moved, and provides 360-degree sun protection. You can choose the suitable one according to your design style.

How to take care of a patio umbrella?

As a business partner, we are happy to share the knowledge that the patio umbrella is an investment in your business, and you have to know how to take care of it. You should understand the patio umbrella care tips and ensure that you always implement them.
Wind and humidity are the worst enemies of patio umbrellas. Always pay attention to the location where the patio umbrella is located. You can close your umbrella when it is not in use to prevent wind damage. Not only should you pay attention to the wind and humidity, but other weather conditions like sunlight also have to be a concern. Another thing to do to take care of your patio umbrella is to clean it regularly. It is really easy to regularly maintain a patio umbrella, as you won't need any strange solutions. Gently wash the patio umbrella with gentle soap and rinse it. Wipe it down, and store your patio umbrella in a dry place.
The next question is how frequently you should clean your patio umbrella. We suggest cleaning your patio umbrella at least once a year with soap and water. You can wipe the patio furniture with a mild soap and water solution for daily or weekly cleaning. It is even better to purchase the patio umbrella with a protective coat to make it more durable.
If the location has four seasons, you might consider covering your patio during the winter so you will have a clean patio umbrella for next spring and summer. During the winter, people tend to stay inside, so keeping the patio umbrella open outside seems like a waste of time. Even in winter, the UV light from the sun still affects your outdoor furniture. So, if you can, store or cover the patio umbrellas during the winter, rain, and snow for better durability.

How to clean the mildew off the patio umbrellas and patio furniture?

First of all, gather all the things needed. It will be the stuff that is easy to find everywhere. To clean the patio umbrella, you will need three basic things. Soap, basket, and bleach or vinegar if the furniture is white. The next step is filling the bucket with warm water and adding the soap. You may add ¼ cup of bleach or ¾ cup of vinegar per gallon of water to clean the white outdoor patio umbrella. With this mixture, you can remove all the mildew from your patio furniture.
Once the mixture is ready, scrub the mildew area with the brush. Once it is finished, rinse the patio furniture off with clean water. Sometimes you will find that the mildew is stubborn enough to be removed. In this case, you may repeat the scrubbing step until the mildew is well removed. The last step is to dry the furniture and vacuum it. This is the easiest way to clean the patio umbrella. Another way is to use a pressure washer. But when using a pressure washer to clean the patio umbrella, always apply low pressure so it won't damage the furniture.
Another suggestion is to wear protective attire like gloves, a mask, and goggles with no vents. Mildew is harmful to the human body, especially the lungs. So, breathing near the mildew might have negative effects on the lungs. The next question is, what is the best mask to clean the patio furniture with mildew? We suggest wearing an N95 mask, as this mask has good protection and is available almost everywhere. Sometimes mildew can also cause an allergic reaction; you need to wear goggles. Even better, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
