Shade sails a solution for unprotected outdoor school grounds ?
November 30th, 2009UV radiation is emitted by the sun, and may increase school children’s risk of skin cancer by excessive over exposure in unprotected outdoor school grounds.
For some schools and for some students, using sun protective methods, such as hats or sunscreen, or implementing policy changes could prove to be problematic.
There are many reasons that a school might want to improve the quality and increase the amount of accessible shade on school grounds. The most obvious and one of the most important reasons is that shade provides protection from solar UV radiation.
Due to the scheduling complexities of physical education classes, sporting events, and the outdoor activities, students are often exposed to solar UV radiation during the peak sun hours of the day—between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Shade is not yet mandatory for school yards in Spain, but they will make them safer for the children.

The US has not mandated shade for school yards either. In Australia it is compulsory and shade sails are often used as the preferred solution.
