Outdoor umbrellas; the perfect pool shade solution

In a tropical climate like we have here in Australia, swimming in the pool is a very popular outdoor activity for the whole family. Although our country boasts some of the best beaches in the world, most of us simply want to be able to swim and cool off at any time of the day particularly during the hot summer months. For this reason, a lot of us have a swimming pool in our backyard.

If you and your children enjoy spending a lot of time in the pool, you should definitely consider your options when it comes to pool shade protection. Sure, working on your tan is important but making sure that you and your family will not suffer from the harmful UV rays is much more crucial.

This is something we understand all too well here at Global Shade. With over 25 years of solid experience in offering highly effective shade solutions, it has become our main goal to provide Australian families with great outdoor experience while staying on the safe side. With this commitment, we manufacture custom outdoor umbrellas along with our other shade solutions, making sure that each product adheres to industry standards.

Outdoor umbrella benefits for your swimming pool

Taking a dip in a pool is probably the best and fastest way to cool off during the extreme summer months. However, you need to seriously consider the potential damage that you and your family members may suffer due to direct sunlight for extended period of time. Based on research, the sun’s rays can make us look and feel good but prolonged exposure causes wrinkles and age spots on our faces. Other potential damage includes skin lesions, benign tumours, coarse wrinkles, freckles, mottled pigmentation, skin discoloration, and even skin cancer.

To ensure that you and your family are safe each time you take a dip in your swimming pool, having high quality pool shade solution is essential. One of the best solutions is to simply get a durable, high quality outdoor umbrella that offers you the maximum protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays. Outdoor umbrellas are easy to install and as long as you get high quality model, they can be used all year round not only to get protection from the sun but also in reducing the water temperature the natural way.

Always think of quality

There are different types of outdoor umbrella that are available on the market that offer a wide range of choices when it comes to colours and designs. However, more than the aesthetic features, you need to seriously consider the quality of the outdoor umbrella that you’re going to buy. There are some that are exclusively used for aesthetic purposes and there are those that actually do the hard work – protect your family from potential damage that the sun can cause. Although getting a durable outdoor umbrella means shelling out more money, quality is extremely important especially if your kids’ health is on the line. Don’t you agree?

Here’s a quick guide to help you in finding a quality outdoor umbrella for your pool:

ü  Check the frame. You have two choices when it comes to frame: wood or aluminium. Both are heavy duty but wood can be heavier while aluminium is more portable.

ü  Check the fabric. It’s the fabric that will ultimately give you the protection from the sun. Choose an umbrella that uses Extrablock that features high UVR and UPF factors just like the ones we offer here at Global Shade. This cloth has high tensile strength and is fire retardant. (Find out more about the fabrics we use at Global Shade here.)

ü  Size. Outdoor umbrellas are available in range of standard pre-engineered sizes and shapes. However, if you need more shade because your pool is bigger or simply because you want to cover more space, you can request for custom-made outdoor umbrella, such as our cantilever umbrellas.

When it comes to high quality outdoor umbrellas in Australia, Global Shade is your ultimate partner. Our pool shade umbrellas come in range of shapes and sizes. In addition, they can be customised with a variety of accessories including weatherproofing with PVC café blinds and heating.
