Summertime, and the waterfront beckons. People love the combination of hot sunshine and cool water. However, summer sun can be hot, hot, hot. Not only is it sometimes too hot for comfort, it can also damage unprotected skin. If you could swim in the shade, it would be a good idea.
There's a new way to accomplish this. Instead of staying inside during the middle of the day, sitting under an umbrella on the shore, or seeking shelter in a pavilion or under an awning, you can get a floating canopy to take right into the water with you. Whether you're in your own pool or out on a peaceful lake, you can have shade no matter how high or hot the sun is.
There's an easier and more flexible option: get a floating canopy that casts a large shadow wherever you want it. The canopy can rest half on land (or boat deck) and half on the water or be totally afloat. It looks like a regular canopy but stands on inflated rings. Patented locking devices secure the legs to the floats and make it easy to move the whole unit anywhere you like.
Too much direct sunlight is unhealthy. Having shade when and where you need it is smart as well as pleasant. Between ten and four o'clock you should take precautions to avoid sunburn. Experts say that even one bad burn increases the risk for skin cancer. Those who spend a lot of time in direct sun look old faster, with dark spots, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
With a floating canopy, you no longer have to stay indoors, sit under a fixed umbrella, or get under a roof at midday. You can float in cool water, with a refreshing drink in hand, without risking harm to your skin. The kids can build sand castles at the water's edge and fill up their buckets without getting burned.
Grandpa can fish off his boat without wearing a hat and without getting sunstroke. The canopy can be set on the rear deck of the boat and extend out far enough into the water to create a pool of shade, cutting the glare without blocking the cooling breezes.
Around a pool, trees can cause problems. No one wants to spend time clearing leaves and debris out of the pool. Tree-shaded pools can be chilly, too; with a floating canopy, the rest of the pool water is getting nice and warm from all that solar energy. You can be outside without slathering yourself with sunscreen and remembering to reapply it every two hours. Anyway, experts say that sunscreen doesn't protect the deeper layers of the skin, which will be damaged by UV penetration.
In the past, we've had porches, umbrellas, and awnings. Now there's the floating canopy, wherever you want it to be.
