Does sun come through the top okay? I want it for insect protection while backyard tanning.. I know a chair won't fit in but that is fine.

A chair probably would fit in it if it was a small one or it would lay on top of a standard chaise. Dunno why mesh would interfere with UV??

I have used this setup quite a bit since I got it last year. Super happy with it. Never had it up in total sun shine and looked out. My first take on this is it might work out for a sun tan, but I doubt it working very well. It is mesh but I have been surprised at how well it blocks wind. Bottom line, Not sure about you getting a sun tan, only way to know for sure is buy it and try it in your location. I have spent considerable amounts of money on many solutions to the problem this product answers. Sure glad I found this product.

It does not completely block the sun as, for example, a solid canvas would. Bur it blocks a significant amount. My deck is very sunny, and the sun beats into my sliding glass doors in the afternoon, so I do use it to block the sun. It casts a strong shadow, but does not block all light. You would not get a tan under this umbrella. BTW. I have had it quite a while, and it has stood up to the weather very well. Looks and works like new, even after being blown off my deck by hurricane winds.

My set is in the sun, near the pool. I do keep an umbrella open all season long, and for that reason I think this helps.I have not had any complaints about the chairs being too hot from family or guests.

Hi Boris, It's a very nice piece of furniture, I have had outside for five months under my lanai and it has held up very well. I use it to keep towels in for the pool. It gets direct sunlight from sunrise until about 11am and has not faded at all. I hope this helps you.

Hello Monica, As you have probably read from other customer reviews, the sun shades in this stroller are pretty much useless. I guess putting a blanket on top cover the sun quite decently. I bought this item because my pettite wife could not handle a 40 lbs stroller so this was a perfect solution.

No,it isn't. This is to put when you are under the sun and want to get tan with some level a protection .

It looks about six inches. You'd have to be pretty tall to see inside the shade. If it's in a room where people are sitting, i wouldnt worry about it at all.

it is not a sun block therefore you would need to add protection.Hope this helps

I did sit on it, 86F day in direct sunlight. It was not too hot to sit on, but it was uncomfortably warm. I moved the bench into the shade.

It doesnt specify if it is for indoor tanning or both. I would imagine you could use it outside as well. There is no listed SPF either. I have used it outside and was fine. I dont normally burn though in the sun.

Mainly camp in wooded areas, so I can't really speak to how hot it gets in direct sun with no wind. We did put it up a few times in an open spot. I found it to be one of the best items we have bought. Sturdy and it is all mesh except for the roof. The walls are nearly perpendicular. So headspace even if it rains. But it isn't really a dark color. It's a light greenish tan. Like the definition of khaki. So I guess I have not found this to be an issue.

I think it would depend at least partly upon how long you stay out in the sun. My goal is never to tan or burn, which basically means not much time in the sun, at least in the summertime.

Dear Annie, I can confirm that the sunshade does need to sit over the canopy, you would not be able to use it unless the canopy is in place. I hope this helps with your enquiry. Kind Regards Sonia

No, because of the height not the length. The canopy begins sloping inward too sharply to accommodate the lawn chair's additional height. It could however, be placed upon the lawn chair but that would seem a little awkward. My son and I used these on a Cub Scout camping trip and they were amazing. We used sleeping pads for cushions, and used them as tents. Not only did they protect you from bugs, but also gave you a little extra privacy and a makeshift structure to hang wet clothes. Awesome. Several other campers asked where we purchased because they were interested in securing their own for the next camping trip. No, because of the height not the length.

We have ours outside but undercover. The padding has faded from sun exposure but otherwise it is fine. I wouldn't leave it too exposed though.

I'm not quite sure of the specific intent but from what I can gather the netting wouldn't be damaged by the sun if that is what you mean. If the intent is to try to cover someone or something with the hopes of blocking the suns rays it definitely will not prevent a sunburn or shield a pet, infant or child from the sun.
