Spending time on the water is one of the best things about warm weather. Whether it’s the beach, the
lake, or a swimming pool, that refreshing feeling of dipping in cool water on a hot day is one of our favourite
things!
As much as we love being on the water, we also know how important it is to be protected from the sun.
When you’re having a great time with friends and family, it’s easy to lose track of time and end up getting
burnt or overheated. Floating canopies are a great way to stay protected without even having to think
about it! Keep reading to learn about some of the benefits of a floating canopy, how to use it, and why
they’re the next big thing in water recreation.
Benefits of a floating canopy
Being in the water is a great way to stay cool in hot weather, but it unfortunately doesn’t protect you from
the sun. No matter how many times you reapply sunscreen, it tends to wear off quickly in the water, so it
can be difficult to keep up with it. A floating canopy offers the best of both worlds—protection from the sun
while still getting to enjoy time floating in the water. With a floating canopy, you won’t be stuck on the
shore in order to relax in the shade!
How to use your floating canopy this summer
There are many different ways to use your floating canopy this summer. Whether you’re at the beach or
on a lake, floating canopies are awesome for bringing with you on the boat. Tie two of the canopy’s poles
to the front or back (or both!) of your boat and adjust the height to exactly what you need to stay
protected. You can raise the height and slide part of the canopy over the boat itself to stay protected while
you’re out of the water, or you can keep the entire canopy over the water and lower the height a bit to stay
out of direct sunlight.
If you or a friend has a backyard pool, a floating canopy can be the perfect addition to help keep everyone
out of the sun for long periods of time. We also love using the canopy in the shallow water at the ocean or
on a lake. Enjoy the shade by bringing some lounge chairs into the water to help stay cool in the heat.
Our float kits fit on most standard straight-leg, pop-up style tents, so if you already have a canopy, the
float kit is all you’ll need! They’re durable and incredibly easy to use, and you can also purchase wind
anchor kits if you’ll be out when the wind is strong. The possibilities are endless when it comes to using
your floating canopy this summer.
Stay protected with a floating canopy
Using a floating shade canopy is one of the best ways to stay protected from the sun while getting to
enjoy the water this summer. Whether you purchase the float kit on its own or with a new canopy as well,
you’re sure to have an awesome time on the water this season!
