The playground under your awning

Carefree outdoor play is the greatest thing for children – especially in summer. There is splashing, digging and romping around. All the more important, then, to protect little ones from intense sunlight with both sun protection and shaded play areas, such as under an awning. This way, the summer's day can be enjoyed to the full and for as long as possible.

The actual exposure to solar radiation is easily underestimated. An important point of reference is the UV index: this describes the maximum level of sunburn-causing UV radiation expected at ground level. In categories 1 to 2, no protective measures are required. In categories 3 to 7, the midday sun should be avoided and sunscreen with a high sun protection factor should be used. In categories 8 to 11+, comprehensive protection is essential and direct sun exposure should be avoided altogether.

With a pergola or a patio awning, you bring a high level of sun protection right to your home. As stylish shade providers, they protect your children while playing in the sandpit, swimming in the pool or taking a midday break on the garden lounger. Fitted with awning fabrics with a high UPF (ultra protection factor) of up to 80, they offer, in combination with sunscreen, a high level of protection to give your children a carefree outdoor day. And you can sit back, relax and enjoy the summer to the full as well.
