However, umbrellas also serve an important function in blocking the sun&#8217;s harmful UV rays. While relaxing by the lake, an outdoor umbrella provides an extra layer of sunburn prevention.

Their UPF, or ultraviolet protection factor, level depends on the type of fabric and how tightly woven it is. Dr. Aragona from&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prescriptiondoctor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Prescription Doctor<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;comments, &#8220;The umbrella can be a normal nylon material, but some UV specific umbrellas are coated with a gum which blocks out even more rays.&#8221; While most umbrellas are made from nylon, many high-quality patio umbrellas have acrylic covers. &#8220;It&#8217;s highly effective at blocking UV-rays, but it&#8217;s not widely used,&#8221; says Jennifer Walden, operations director at&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wikilawn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WikiLawn<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. &#8220;If you can&#8217;t find acrylic, you can use tightly-woven nylon for something very close.&#8221; Another common fabric choice is olefin, commonly used in carpeting and is mildew resistant. Even without a durable, high-quality fabric, a standard umbrella should do the trick. According to Dr. Agarona, the average umbrella can help shade someone from three-quarters of UV light, which is impressive.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Certain Fabric Colors Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Black-Square-Patio-Umbrella-rcwilley.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Black-Square-Patio-Umbrella-rcwilley.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Black-Square-Patio-Umbrella-rcwilley-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Black-Square-Patio-Umbrella-rcwilley-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Black-Square-Patio-Umbrella-rcwilley-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcwilley.com\/Outdoor\/Patio\/Accessories\/110269888\/Black-Square-Patio-Umbrella-View\">RCWilley.com<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Have you ever worn a black shirt on a hot day and noticed your temperature rise? Or stepped onto a black pavement and felt that fiery sensation in your feet? The same logic works for UPF umbrellas. Because black fabric absorbs UV rays,&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a black umbrella will provide more sun protection<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;than a covering of any other color. However, unlike a black shirt, your skin won&#8217;t be directly next to the heat source, so you&#8217;ll remain cool under the umbrella.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I Wear Sunscreen Under an Umbrella?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SunscreenUmbrella-clevelandclinic.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SunscreenUmbrella-clevelandclinic.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SunscreenUmbrella-clevelandclinic-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/whats-better-beach-sunscreen-umbrella\/\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">UPF umbrellas certainly block UV rays, but they aren&#8217;t the best-isolated approach. They reduce the amount of UV that directly reaches your skin but don&#8217;t protect against scattered UV rays that bounce off other objects. According to&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamadermatology\/article-abstract\/2597893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">one study<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;by&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jnj.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Johnson &amp; Johnson<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, umbrellas are far less protective than a sunscreen with an SPF of 100. The best approach is&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">combining sunscreen and umbrellas<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;for optimal protection. &#8220;A lot of people will buy a normal umbrella and think it will completely protect them,&#8221; says Dr. Aragona. &#8220;Where the umbrella cannot shade, you need to be wearing sunscreen.&#8221; One of the reasons for this is because indirect exposure to the sun is damaging. While UPF umbrellas help with direct exposure, you&#8217;ll need sunscreen to cover indirect rays.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Umbrella Brands Are Best For Sun Protection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/sunbrella-fabrics-by-the-pool.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13611\" width=\"579\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/sunbrella-fabrics-by-the-pool.jpg 470w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/sunbrella-fabrics-by-the-pool-282x300.jpg 282w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunbrella.com\/browse-fabrics\/fabrics-by-use\/sunbrella-umbrellas?p=4\">Sunbrella<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While all umbrellas have at least some degree of UPF, certain brands will offer better coverage than others.
