Sun safety has become an integral part of play area safety for our children. Skin cancer rates are rising and UV exposure to children is a leading contributor. Recognizing that eighty percent (80%) of a person's lifetime exposure to UV occurs before they reach the age of eighteen, experts predict that 20% of the children growing up in the United States today will have some form of skin cancer.
Governments in countries with high sun exposure (South Africa, New Zealand, Australia) have initiated public program to provide playground shades in public areas, particularly schools and playgrounds where our most vulnerable population is present.
Up to 95% Protection from Harmful UV Rays Our custom designed and built shade canopies are ideal for any recreational activity from the batting cage to the monkey bars. Our playground shades are used to protect children and their families on basketball and tennis courts as well as swimming and waiting pools. An AmeriShade shade canopy provides a cooling oasis and an escape from the hot summer sun and its harmful effects.
If you are a public official interested in providing protection to your community's children, contact us about public grants and/or financing programs that may be available.
