In this country we are weather obsessed – at Safe Shade we are no different!
Whatever the weather, we have great shade solutions for you. After today’s constant drizzle I thought it a perfect time to mention our Retractable Umbrellas.
Waterproof as well as protecting from harmful UV rays, our Retractable Umbrellas are the perfect, cost effective solution if your space or budget is a little restrictive!
The umbrellas tilt and also rotate 360 degrees – so you can track the movement of the sun throughout the day. Great for protecting little ones or if you don’t want lots of posts.
They are 4m in diameter and come with safety padding as standard. Have a look at our Retractable Umbrella page to see the colours available or contact us to find out more information.

Increasingly announced in weather forecasts, the UV Index provides us with an indication of the day’s risk to UV Rays. The UV Index is based on the UV intensity expected when the sun is at its highest point, between 11am – 3pm.
Make sure you know you and your family’s skin types and keep an eye on the UV Index. That way you are prepared and can still enjoy yourself in the sun! Follow our sun safety tips - sun protection cream, hats, sunglasses and of course shade!
- Low risk – no protection is needed.
- Medium risk – take care around midday and do not spend too long in the sun unprotected.
- High risk – cover up and spend time in the shade between 11 and 3. Use least factor 15 sunscreen on exposed skin.
- Very high risk – be sure to cover up and in the shade between 11 and 3. And use at least factor 15 sunscreen.
UV Index chart information sourced from the Sun Smart website^

Protect Children in the Sun
The following tips are from Cancer Research UK.
—————————-
Teach children good sun habits – lead by example
Don’t just think of sun safety when you’re abroad, protect you & your family when at home here in the UK
Cover up, wear loose fitting clothes, wide brim hats & sunglasses
Sunscreen, apply regularly & generously
At school, make sure schools/nurseries have a shaded area as children are out playing at the hottest times of day
Have fun in the sun, but most of all be safe in the sun.

Just as important as the General Election, Ambleside Primary School’s Shade Sail election!
Ambleside Primary School’s children voted for their favourite design and colours for the Shade Sails being installed into their Nottingham playground. The children all coloured in blank Shade Sail design sheets to get involved and put their own stamp on their playground. The final design voted by the children was by ‘DJ Rice and Famous’ and stage one of the installation is now happening.
‘It’s been a good experience and it’s fun to choose ourselves what goes up around the school’ – DJ Rice and Famous of Ambleside Primary School, Nottingham.
For more information, comments from the children and photos about the Ambleside Primary School project please click here.
