Shade and fabrics with UPF 50+

A pop-up gazebo provides shade where there is none, whether at the market, at an event or in the garden. Whether the roof also has a tested UV protection factor depends on the fabric you choose. For Oxford 500D and Oxford 250D it is UPF 50+ according to the test report.

WHAT MATTERS FOR UV PROTECTION

Understanding the UPF value of pop-up gazebos

The UPF value indicates how much UV radiation a fabric lets through. The higher the value, the stronger the protection.

The Oxford 500D and Oxford 250D fabrics of Ecotent pop-up gazebos reach UPF 50+. You can find the details of all fabrics in the fabric comparison.

As a guide:

UPF 15 to 24: medium protection
UPF 25 to 50: high protection
UPF 50+: excellent protection

The UPF value describes the fabric. Under a pop-up gazebo, UV radiation can also arrive from the side or through reflection, so sunscreen and suitable clothing remain sensible.

in short

What are UV rays?

UV rays are an invisible part of sunlight. They are divided into three types:

UVA rays mostly reach the Earth’s surface.
UVB rays are partly filtered by the atmosphere.
UVC rays do not reach the Earth’s surface.

Too much UV radiation can damage the skin and cause sunburn. In the long term, the risk of premature skin ageing and skin cancer also increases. Adequate UV protection is therefore particularly important on sunny days.
