ParknPool Corp. worked with Camp Margaritaville Auburndale for its grand opening from 2021-2023. The items included in this brand-new build were strap poolside lounges and dining sets, market umbrellas, and strap bar stools for its tiki bar (which included custom surface mounting tabs), as well as deep-cushioned furniture for its poolside cabanas. Aluminum, vinyl straps, marine-grade fabric, and recycled plastic all came together to create a beautiful and bright outdoor oasis!
Pilot Rock — Clay County Fair Charitable Trust “Have A Seat” Bench Program
The Clay County Fair (CCF) in Spencer, Iowa (known as “The World’s Greatest County Fair”) is held annually during the second week of September. The CCF Charitable Trust approached Pilot Rock in 2022 about its ongoing “Have A Seat” bench program. Locals are able to purchase a bench in memory of someone, typically with ties to the fair itself. When all is said and done, donors’ tax-deductible gifts pay the trust’s costs for purchasing and placing the benches. Each bench contains a plaque dedicated to the donor's loved one. It's a win-win—plenty of (free) seating at the fair, which there can never be enough of, and the donor will bring his or her family and friends to see the bench, thus paying gate admissions.
Annually, CCF purchases 10-15 new benches from Pilot Rock. The organization also has a memorial picnic table program in place. The bench program has been successful for the trust and the community, and the company hopes to acquire more of these ongoing projects.
Each bench is a CXB series channel bench, with all-steel construction, perforated seats, and back-coated in durable thermoplastic paint and powder-coated frames. These benches are available in a variety of lengths and color combinations.
ParknPool — Rockbridge County Public Schools
- Facility Name: Rockbridge County Public Schools
- City, State: Lexington, Va.
- Type of Facility: Public School District
- Status: Completed
- Cost of Project: Approximately $60,000
ParknPool’s local county school district reached out for shade solutions for two of its schools. ParknPool was able to meet on location with both school principals to discuss their options. Maury River Middle School was seeking shade for its stamped concrete patio that is used for outdoor learning. The shade sails the school decided on required custom measurements and the use of a local contractor to inground-mount the single post and wall attachment brackets. Matching thermoplastic-coated picnic tables were included with this project. Central Elementary chose two 20’ cantilever umbrellas to provide shade around its playground and recreational areas. These cantilever umbrellas were also installed by ParknPool using the same local contractor.
