Big Sun Umbrellas in NZ – A Source of Much Needed Shade

A large sun umbrella is a must in every domestic or commercial setting that has an outdoor area for people to utilise. It ensures that your outdoor area will be suitable for dining, entertaining, and relaxing, especially when it is hot. Big sun umbrellas in New Zealand are designed to provide large shade areas for outdoor settings including over furniture, tables and chairs. Some of the best sun umbrellas are the multi-mast cantilever type, which enables you to mount up to four cantilever umbrellas from a single mast. This way, you can effectively create a large shade using one, two, three or four square umbrellas or one to two octagon umbrellas.

Big sun umbrellas in NZ have large canopies that are made of high-quality, solution-dyed and colour-fast fabric. They come in a wide range of popular colours to fit with the surroundings of your outdoor situation. Some sun umbrellas have been wind tunnel tested to speeds of up to 90km/h. That way, you can be confident that your umbrella can withstand high winds when located in situations of high wind exposure.

Getting enough shade does not necessarily have to mean a larger canopy. While the size of the canopy matters, features such as UV protection should be considered, too. Even the largest sun umbrellas will not provide the highest-quality shade if they cannot protect you from the sun's UV rays. Ultraviolet light from the sun is a leading cause of skin cancer and other conditions like premature ageing, eye problems (i.e. corneal damage, macular degeneration, and cataracts) and sunburn. Of course, it is recommended you still wear sunscreen, even when you are using a big sun umbrella with at least UPF 40+ or UPF 50+. That way, you can ensure complete protection from harmful UV rays.

Some large sun umbrellas in NZ must come with the 'Confidence in Textiles' label, which certifies that the canopy is made of a fabric that is not harmful or toxic to your health and the environment. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends premium Sunbrella and Dickson acrylic fabrics on large sun umbrellas in New Zealand as part of your complete sun protection regime along with sunscreen and protective clothing.
