Summer’s Shady Business!
Not to be the bearer of bad news and the destructive force of all outdoor fun in the sun this summer, I do have a solution. It was not too long ago that I was the PTA Vice President of Fundraising at my daughter’s school and we were on a mission to make the playground area more accessible to the children. Her school had a playground set that could not be used regularly because the harsh sunlight would make the equipment too hot to touch and consequently too dangerous for the children’s use. We did some research and discovered that shade canopies protect children from the harsh and dangerous UV rays and lower the temperature to make playing more enjoyable. I knew it was the perfect solution, so we raised $25,000 in a Gala for parents to fund the purchase of the canopy. It just so happened to be a great investment, now the children can enjoy the outdoors without being affected by the harsh sun. After this project, I realized that I can provide an important service for kids and so I began my own company called ShadeFla that provides these same canopies along with an array of other sun protection products.
ShadeFla is the answer to your skin damaging worries brought on by a lack of protection from the sun. Stationed in South Florida, an area so famously known for its warm weather and sunshine, we are a company that specializes in canopies for outdoor living. With our unique products, we can help you make this summer, not only more enjoyable, but also safer for your skin! We have products such as sails, canopies, and umbrellas that shield you from the damaging effects of the sun. Our high wind umbrellas, securely fastened, are much safer than products found elsewhere and our canopies are designed to withstand hurricane force winds. More so, we have retractable awnings that close on their own when winds exceed 25 miles per hour.
ShadeFla has the perfect solution for you this summer season. Not only do we work with high end hotels, we also serve residential properties as well. ShadeFla is the ideal solution especially when style and functionality are top priorities. ShadeFla boasts in its ability to provide you a product that converts your outdoor space into a more stylistically defined environment. Our products combine design and utility to produce and offer the best products in the shade industry. I know this all sounds too good to be true and that there has to be some sort of catch, such as pricing. Pricing depends strictly on the project, but we will provide you with the best pricing when compared to other products that match in caliber. So go ahead, make the call! ShadeFla wants to save you from this monstrous disease known as skin cancer! This is especially important for our kids who are becoming more vulnerable to skin cancer than ever before.
Kids should be out in the sun having fun! Help protect your children’s skin, as well as your own- wear lots of sunscreen (here’s a great link for a list of the best sunscreens: http://www.ewg.org/2010sunscreen/best-beach-sport-sunscreens/.

Do you know about the SHADE Foundation? It was started by retired Red Sox player Curt Schilling’s wife, Shonda, and the mission is to provide shade for playgrounds using Canopies etc. I believe it’s http://www.shadefoundation.org. Check it out!
As a skin care manufacturer I am a big supporter of sunscreen so thanks for this post.
Wow, what a great idea! And I love the canopy idea at children’s playgrounds. Very awesome!
