Catch Some Welcome Shade in the Magazine's Just-Released Summer Issue

Arizona Contractor & Community magazine has it made in the shade this issue, spotlighting how the humble umbrella has transformed poolside lounging at Valley resorts—and construction!

Umbrellas reduced fatigue and heat exhaustion for operators of older, heavy construction machinery before such equipment was equipped with cabs and air conditioning. Initially derided as something a “sissy” would use, umbrellas helped mitigate exhaustion, improve worker safety, and boost productivity.

For your convenience, copies of the magazine are available on the ACC website, at Books on Seventh Avenue in Phoenix, or the Ignite Sign Museum in Tucson.
