Beach canopies make great companions if you want to spend some time enjoying the surf and sand of the beach. Second only to sunscreen, they are going to be your best friend when it comes to avoiding ending your day of fun at the beach with sunburn. When the sun is beating down on the beach or the sky opens up and starts pouring down rain, everyone else on the beach is going to wish they had a beach canopy just like yours.
Beach canopies are not all created equally. This means you need to have a clear idea of what you want to gain from your canopy in order to make sure you buy the right one. If you are someone who only goes to the beach every once in a while you would be just fine with a cheap beach canopy. However, if you are someone who lives at the beach, you might want to put a little more money into your canopy. In fact, you should look for one that has a high SPF rating. The higher the SPF rating is on your canopy, the more protection it is going to offer you from the sun and its dangerous UV rays.
The next thing you need to think about is how many people on average you are going to have using the canopy. Are you buying a canopy just for you or is it a canopy for the entire family? Maybe you have a group of friends who will be using it? You want to make sure that you purchase a beach canopy that will provide enough room for everyone using it to be comfortable. You are not going to enjoy the canopy very much if you are sitting right on top of each other.
Once you purchase a beach canopy, it is important to make sure you take good care of it. After all, your canopy is being forced to endure salt water and weather conditions. You want to make sure you use warm water when you are cleaning the canopy. Just a few drops of dish soap is enough to use as a cleaning agent.
