| Summer shade in all shapes and sizes Summer is coming in fast, and experts are warning Kiwis to be extra cautious this summer. Why the extra caution? Our ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels in 2022 are averaging much higher compared to 2021. A UV index level of 3 or more is enough to cause skin damage, leading to premature aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer. This October, New Zealand had already hit UV level 8! Our peak summer months sit around level 12 or 13, so it’s time to get our shade on and be summer ready AND safe.Slip into some shadeHanging out in a shady outdoors area is the first must-do in the popular “Slip, Slop, Slap & Wrap” jingle we all know. And we’ve got you covered on making your home shadier, safer and even more stylish this summer 🙂 Check out our top three shade ideas below!  #1 SHADE SAILS colourful & simple Did you know our Shadetex Shade Sails® boast a whopping 90% UV block!?
