How Outdoor Shade Structures Can Protect You From Skin Cancer

A recent poll by the Industrial Fabrics Assn. International (IFAI) indicated that creating outdoor shade structures intended for sun protection is the current inclination in the lightweight shade structure industry.

Outdoor shade structures can protect children from skin cancer, increase the value of your property and protect your property from sun & hail damage.

Approximately 1 out of every 5 children in the United States today will grow up to have some form of skin cancer. Just one blistering sunburn before the age of 18 may double the risk of eventually developing melanoma (a life-threatening type of skin cancer) later in life.

About 80% of a person's total lifetime UV exposure occurs in the first 18 years of life. In 1930 your risk of developing melanoma was 1 and 1500 people. Today it is 1 in 75.

Skin cancer is one of only two forms of cancer whose incident rates are increasing, rather than decreasing, in the United States. Melanoma cases have nearly doubled in the United States in the past two decades. One American dies every hour from skin cancer.
