Hot Dog Cart Umbrella Wind Strategies

how to windproof hot dog cart umbrella

Steve,

One problem I’ve been having, especially this season, is the wind breaking my umbrellas while I work. It’s fairly windy where I set up and I’ve already gone through 5 umbrellas this year. The ones I use are supposedly heavy duty, but even the company I bought them from says they are not intended for use in gusty winds.

I hate having to take mine down when there’s more than a casual breeze. The umbrella is sort of an iconic symbol of the hot dog cart, after all. But I also get tired of paying to constantly pay to have the spokes welded. Is there a solution, a strong umbrella your readers would recommend?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I agree with you – you should never fold up your umbrella any time that you are open. It’s a sales killer.

You need to draw attention. It’s the first step in the sales process. If they don’t notice you, they won’t buy from you. Period.

Your umbrella is an important part of the attention getting process!

Here are two articles that I wrote a while back that will definitely help. Be sure to read the comments because some of the best info is shared there by the many pro hot doggers that hang out here at Hot Dog Profits. I have the BEST readers – thanks guys and gals!
