>>2868341I looked into doing this a while back but never pulled the trigger.
Shibumi shades are banned in some places, purportedly because of the noise they make, but I think it’s a knee jerk reaction. They’re not that loud unless it’s crazy windy. It could also be because every jackass decided they needed a 12 person king size McDouble shelter.
I could never find a good enough fabric. Everything I found that was specifically listed as UPF 50+ seemed kind of heavy. And with the amount of materials used it would have ended up being a fairly expensive DIY project, and a big roll of the dice considering the fabric might be too heavy.
