    Dutchware temporarily closing

    We have been ordered by the state that we need to temporarily close our shop due to the Corona virus at midnight tonight. We are all healthy and as far as we know virus free, but all non essential businesses in PA have to close. Hopefully this will help keep the virus from spreading and save lives. Also we are wishful this will be a short time and we will all be back making gear for you. These are trying times indeed.

    For current orders, we are working as hard as we can to get them out before the deadline. We will continue to take orders on our website and when we return we will process them in the order that they came in. Looks like we are going to have a rare lead time here at Dutchware. We are well positioned to weather this storm and actually we have our usual new product development working through the pipeline.

    I say this with a heavy heart and literally tears in my eyes. I have enjoyed the love and support from all of you for so many years. These are gifts to me that can never be taken from us. From the customers, suppliers, employees and the other vendors we supply, I can't say enough how much this experience has touched my heart.

    This is a time when we really need to take care of each other. I am hoping this brings out the best in people and the things that have divided us in the past will be view with the great insignificance that they really are. I believe this will pass and on the other side we will all be stronger and will have learned what is really important. Family, community, friends and neighbors are all counting on us to be our best. From all of us and our families, to all of you and your families we are wishing the absolute best. Take this time to enjoy the outdoors, your family and reflect on what is reallly important.

    As always, Peace Dutch

    Try to be positive and just embrace the Lollygag. Be with family and count your blessings.
    My wife closed her circus school and she never closes! Her students don't know what to do without their circus so her and coaches are doing online training classes and demos to keep the community together.
    I have had gigs cancelled so filling my time with positive options as much as possible.
    Be well Dutch and them.

    Sorry that it's come to this for you and your staff and all of us, but it seems that closing things down will bring it to a much quicker and safer resolution.

    We will all learn a lot from this and there will be some long-needed realignments in so many facets of our lives.

    First, does this mean that the new Bridge Hammock I wanted to order tomorrow which should have arrived a week ago won't arrive until tomorrow?

    Second, the social distancing time will likely mean a lot more time to inspect and enjoy our equipment and will give us more time to make a list of new things to order once you're back up and running.

    You've been so good to us. I just know the kindness will be reciprocated.

    Praying for you and your amazing staff.

    Dutch, I hope this disruption is temporary and short lived. I wonder if their “rules” would apply to individuals working from home?!?!? Maybe not feasible for an operation that normally has more than one person!?!?!
    Regardless Dutch, good luck!

    Stay strong Dutch! I had just ordered my Chameleon and two hours later I read this announcement... I was sure I'd have a long wait ahead, but you guys managed to ship it today! I'm really grateful. I hope you fellow hangers manage over there in the US like we try to here in Finland.
