DESIGN OVERVIEW

Orange County Shade Sails for Playgrounds

While only some playgrounds are protected by shade sails, they do offer a lot of advantages for kids and adults alike. This humble and usually taken for granted shade structure will not only give you protection from the sun as this can also contribute to the play value and the overall aesthetic appeal of school or park playground equipment.

From swings, to play structures, children’s tables or benches, to independent events, there are a lot of benefits associated with the installation of Orange County shade sails in different areas of a play environment.

WHY PLAYGROUND SHADE SAILS?

Kids Can Play for a Long Time without Suffering from Overheating

The heat coming from the sun could be a serious burden after some time, and as a result, kids will want to return indoors just to get some relief. Through the installation of Orange County shade sails in playgrounds, children will now be able for an extended time to allow them to have more fun and enjoyment while they stay active at the same time. These shade structures usually keep spaces for around 20 degrees cooler for kids to play and enjoy in.

Keep All Playground Equipment Cool and Comfortable to the Touch

Most injuries in playgrounds are the result of kids touching the overheated playground structure surfaces which have been exposed to the heat of the sun for an extended period of time. Keeping the play area shaded properly can help prevent kids from suffering from burns.

Offer Protection to Kids from Dangerous UV Rays

A single blistering sunburn can increase the risks of a child to suffering from skin cancer later on in his or her life. When you add the UV-protective Orange Country shade sails to your playground, kids can now stay active and have fun outside while staying protected from the dangerous UV rays.

Increase the Play Equipment’s Lifespan

Aside from keeping the playground cool and cozy, shade sails will even help lengthen the life span of any play equipment. This can do it through protecting the equipment from cracking and fading which takes place because of extended exposure to the sun.
