Enjoying the sun filled days of spring and summer is a special time for any home owner or outdoor enthusiast. But the one harsh lesson we learn as a warm sunny day progresses is that the sun just doesn't settle in one space in the sky.

The sun starts low in the morning, high at mid-day, and low in the evening. So if we don't have a umbrella we are faced with either physically moving where we are sitting our lounging or actually picking up our shade and moving it so it's shade covers us from the sun. Frankly, this is a frustrating situation. Enjoying a day outside but having to get up and lug around furniture or on umbrella can totally ruin your day. Why move around heavy furniture or a large umbrella when they can do the job of shading you without moving?
