Our goal to protect ourselves from the harmful rays of the sun is huge, Australians are most at risk. Aussies are number one in the world for skin cancer conditions. The need for shade sails came, to prevent the UV rays. Shade sails were invented from the sails on ships which were just anchored down from eye holes in the corner of the sails.
Shade sails of today have been developed so that it can provide much needed cover from weather, especially from the hot noonday sun. The noonday sun is where the most of skin damage mainly in the form of skin cancer comes from. This damage comes from the increased UV rays during this time of day.
An important term to remember and understand is Ultraviolet Protection Factor or UPF. Its the term for the rating the protection by a variety of materials to protect skin from Ultra Violet Rays. So that means that as the rating of the UPF goes up the longer the protection and the more effective the material is against UVR will be.
