Finding shelter in this crazy heat is all about making your own. In the backyard, you can DIY your own sun shade or you can pick up a durable one that you won’t be afraid to keep up through the occasional summer thunderstorm. These are the canopies that not only provide shade but can help block UV rays, even on the brightest of days. Most can be tied down easily with a set of poles and hooks (in case you can’t attach to your house), so there’s really no rigamarole to go through getting it set up. Keep yourself and your friends from overheating in the backyard.
