Protect the property. Elevate the experience.

From rooftop decks to poolside courtyards, communal spaces face sun exposure, wind, and steady traffic. The right umbrella must endure it all, and look good doing it.

Shared Use Accelerates Wear

When dozens of residents use the same amenities daily, wear compounds quickly. Commercial-grade construction becomes essential.

Rooftop & Courtyard Wind Exposure

Elevated and open-air community spaces experience unpredictable wind patterns. Stability isn’t optional in shared environments.

Maintenance Headaches

Repairing or replacing umbrellas disrupts resident experience. Serviceable construction and replacement parts reduce operational friction.

Consistency Across Properties

Multi-building developments require visual cohesion. Shade solutions must support a unified aesthetic while performing reliably.

When everyone uses it, it has to hold up.
Our umbrellas are built for real residents, real weather, and real daily use.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a Frankford umbrella suitable for resort and hotel environments?

Our hospitality umbrellas are engineered for daily commercial use, with corrosion-resistant frames, marine-grade fabrics, and flexible rib systems designed to perform in wind and high-traffic environments. They’re built to maintain both structural integrity and aesthetic presence over time.

Can your umbrellas withstand coastal conditions?

Yes. Many of our hospitality projects are in coastal and high-humidity environments. We use marine-grade fabrics, stainless steel hardware, and corrosion-resistant materials specifically chosen to perform in salt air and intense sun exposure.

Do you offer replacement parts and ongoing service support?

We do. Our products are designed to be serviceable, and replacement parts can be made available. While Frankford does not currently offer pickup services, we are happy to service your umbrella if you ship it to our headquarters. When something needs attention, our team is ready to respond quickly by phone or email.

Do you work directly with designers and procurement teams?

Yes. We regularly collaborate with hospitality designers, architects, purchasing departments, and equipment distributors. Whether you’re working from spec or starting from scratch, we support the process from selection through installation.

Can umbrellas be customized to match our brand standards?

Absolutely. We offer a wide range of fabric colors, frame finishes, valence styles, and custom-branding options to ensure consistency with your property’s aesthetic. For multi-location brands, we can help maintain visual continuity across sites. Explore all of our fabric options and learn more about our custom-branded options

Do you offer warranty coverage for hospitality projects?

Yes. Our umbrellas and their various components are backed by manufacturer warranties covering frames, fabrics, and more. Specific coverage varies by model, and our team is happy to walk through details during the specification process. Visit our warranties page for more information.
