About Seller: Since its establishment in 1988, East Coast Umbrella has been steadily building a strong reputation in the casual industry by producing a high-quality range of custom umbrellas and cushions at its 68,000-square-foot facility in Laurel Hill, North Carolina. The company is now prepared to enhance its reputation and success further by offering a variety of styles, services, and merchandising options tailored to meet the diverse needs of customers. Specializing in patio and beach umbrellas, East Coast Umbrella also manufactures custom outdoor furniture cushions in acrylic and vinyl mesh. As a family-owned business, the company serves as a distributor for Outdura brand fabrics and other reputable acrylic brands, providing customers with a comprehensive source for their outdoor furnishing requirements. No order is too large or too small for East Coast Umbrella, as the company is capable of shipping umbrellas in any quantity, from single pieces to large bulk orders. While the cost per umbrella in bulk orders may be slightly higher than imports, customers benefit from American-made products of superior quality. The company's umbrella line includes a variety of sizes and styles, such as models made from fiberglass, wood, and heavy-duty commercial-grade aluminum, all crafted to the highest standards. For instance, the aluminum center pole boasts double the thickness of standard umbrellas, and the company has developed an exclusive fiberglass frame that significantly enhances the umbrellas' durability in harsh weather conditions. East Coast Umbrella's Vice President, DeWayne Day, notes the success of the fiberglass frame in reducing repairs from wind damage by 75 percent since its introduction. Additionally, the umbrellas feature ribs that easily clip into the hubs, allowing for simple replacement without discarding the entire umbrella. The company's newest product, the solar Illumishade umbrella, is specifically designed for the restaurant industry, offering a heavy-duty commercial-grade solar umbrella that provides shade during the day and illuminates dining tables at night. All umbrellas in the company's range are constructed with 100 percent acrylic fabric from Outdura and other high-quality brands known for their longevity and durability. East Coast Umbrella also boasts an in-house graphics department that specializes in outdoor advertising, utilizing digital prints and unique graphics applications exclusive to their facility.
