Enjoy the Beach with a Pop-Up UV Protection Sun Tent

Spending hours on the beach can be a lot of fun, but it can also be lethal to the skin and the eyes. The rays of the sun, magnified through their reflection in the water, can cause damage to the skin and the eyes. But these worries need not stop anyone from visiting the beach. All they need is to carry a pop-up UV protection sun tent with them and they’re all set.

A pop-up UV protection sun tent is a type of beach tent that is designed more strongly than ordinary shelters. They are meant to protect users from the damaging UV rays of the sun. Most of these tents are simplified forms of dome shelters that have fabrics specially treated to protect against sunburn. The typical height is about four feet and most of them only have enough space for a sit-down.

An example of this protective tent is Excalibur’s sun screen pop up instant beach cabana. This product has a tear-resistant floor and a treated canopy to protect the occupant from the sun’s rays. There is no assembly needed since the pop-up capability allows the tent to structure itself. The regular price is $99.99.

Another product of this kind is the sun shelter made from Du Pont Tyvek, a patented fabric created by DuPont from high-density polyethylene. The fabric can block 99 percent of UV rays. It is light weight but durable and can resist water penetration without preventing vapor from passing through. The tent can be adjusted to different angles to change the shaded area.

Kakadoo Kids is another company that markets protective beach tents. Its pop up cabana beach shelter is a family-sized version of the brand’s traditional beach tent. The cabana is a pop-up shelter so there’s no need for ground pegs and poles. This product can block up to 98 percent of solar ultraviolet radiation and has been rated UPF50+ by the Australian Radiation Protection Authority.

A pop-up UV protection sun tent is a useful companion if you’re going to the beach. The damaging effects of the sun’s rays should not prevent anyone from enjoying the adventure, all they have to do is to carry one of these easy-to-set up shelters and watch the view from under it.
