Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit. Direct sunlight can be harmful over extended periods, especially for those prone to sunburns. Use a sunscreen of 30 SPF or higher for protection.
