A sun shelter is shade first: a roof, usually with one or more sides left open so the breeze gets through. It is for a day on the beach, a picnic, a garden party or a hot campsite, not for sleeping in. Some are small pop-ups for two or three people, some are canopies big enough for a group, and some are tarps with a silver-coated side to turn the sun. A few tents with a sun-blocking coating are filed here too, for families who want shade and a place to sleep in one.
The makers state sun protection in two ways. UPF is the ultraviolet protection factor of the fabric: the large beach canopy here is UPF 50+, which its maker puts as blocking 98% of UV rays, so no more than about a fiftieth gets through. Others give a percentage, such as over 90% on one tarp and over 95% on the silver-coated ones. Shade cuts the direct sun, but sand, water and pale ground reflect sun in under the edges. Keep hats and sun cream on, especially for children.
A sun shelter is a roof that catches the wind like a sail. Peg every corner and every guy line, and pitch the open side away from the wind. Ordinary pegs pull out of soft sand, which is why the family beach tent here is made to be anchored with sand or rocks, and the large canopy comes with wind-resistant stakes. If the wind gets up, take it down rather than hold it. See tent pegs.
Most are for shade only, with open sides and no floor. For a night at the beach or a festival, look at a tent with a UV coating in beach tents.
Some are. The tarps state ratings from 2,000mm to 5,000mm. Many beach pop-ups give a UV figure only, so treat those as shade.
