Market Umbrellas For Resorts

By: Anita Winter

Country clubs have the reputation for featuring immaculate landscaping, stunning views and extensive year round activities for their members. The Dominion Club is definitely no exception. Located in Glen Allen, Va., just north of of Richmond, this private country club has one of the most visually stimulating and challenging golf courses in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Sean McLaren has been the General Manager for the last two years and has seen growth in membership. "The feature that attracted me and keeps me growing is the membership," he said. "This community of members is the best. They support the programs and are willing to try everything I can develop. They sponsor fellow neighbors for membership, expressed clearly as we conclude a 90-day membership campaign which added 127 new members."

Here at The Dominion Club being an exclusive member has its perks. Among the activities that you'll find are golf played on a course designed by Curtis Strange, a two-time U.S. Open Champion and former Ryder Cup Captain. The 28,000 square foot clubhouse includes a space reserved for special events called The Rotunda, the Mixed Grille, the Players Lounge and the Golf Pro Shop. Many events are planned throughout the year that caters to kids, from toddlers to teens. They stay busy with a full calendar of activities, such as the Kids Club, summer camps, sports clinics, swimming lessons and their own swim team.

Speaking of swimming, members enjoy swimming in a Junior Olympic sized swimming pool as shown in the photo below. Recently, Sean had been looking to replace some outdoor umbrellas that covered tables surrounding the pool area when he came found Umbrella Source and purchased 30 of our Fiberglass Market Umbrellas. Sean said, "I shopped online and discovered your superior product."

Superior indeed! These umbrellas are one of the strongest on the market today. The fiberglass is similar to the material used in fishing rods and boat liners; it is non-corrosive to salt and wind and is incredibly flexible in high wind situations.

While a great quality umbrella frame is vital when you are searching for a good investment so too is the fabric you select. Sean chose Sunbrella fabric in Forest Green alternating with Natural along with white hand poles to match the club's previous outdoor furniture and awnings.

Sunbrella awning-grade fabric features a 10-year warranty against fading, staining and the growth of mold and mildew. It also was given the highest recommendation by The Skin Cancer Foundation for its ability to block harmful UVA and UVB rays. Sunbrella fabrics are beautiful as well and can add pizzazz to any outdoor area without compromising your design aesthetic. You have many color options as well as digital imaging for promotional applications.

The umbrellas look perfect! Classy, sophisticated umbrellas added a wonderful touch to The Dominion Club's charm, and Sean considers his purchase to be a great investment for The Dominion Club's members to enjoy for years to come.
