Hot Dog Cart Umbrella Wind Strategies 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 Dogs For Dogs ******************************************* Hi Dave, I agree with you – you should never fold up your umbrella any time that you are open. It’s a sales killer.

Here are two articles that I wrote a while back that will definitely help. Be sure to read the […]

I really like almost everything about your hot dog biz. I just have one little critique. Actually it’s a big critique but it’s easily fixed. You did a great job on your E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart.

The painted propane tank and wheel rims really tie the color scheme together. Attention to details like that shows that you really care about your business. Customers will sense that. Nice! Your tee shirt is awesome too. Great logo. I like the way you differentiate yourself with the “Ott Dog”. It’s not just a hot dog. It’s something better! You look nice and neat, clean physical appearance. Very good. The only thing I see that could use improvement is […]
