Our Story

In Summer 2019, adventure-seekers Ben & Kayleigh set off on an epic East Coast Australia road trip, during a scorching day they searched for a durable beach umbrella to provide reliable sun shade. Frustrated by flimsy, one-season products, they set out to design a premium sunshade solution built to last.

From Concept to UV-Tested Reality
Extensive market research and countless prototypes led to the breakthrough.

Partnering with the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), they achieved an impressive 99% Ultraviolet Effectiveness (UVE%) rating, making Summer Daze umbrellas some of the most protective beach umbrellas available in Australia. 

Our umbrellas go beyond ordinary shade — they’re crafted for sun-safe protection on beaches, at parks, or in your backyard. Rely on Summer Daze to help shield yourself from harsh UVA and UVB rays, as part of a complete sun-smart strategy.

* "When shade fabric is used for purposes such as shade structures for human protection, the ultraviolet effectiveness (UVE) may not be an accurate guide to the protection provided and may be less than the measured value due to factors including variations in design, height and size of shade structures, stretching of the fabric, the distance of the fabric from the persons, the direction of sunlight, and the physical location of the persons within the shade structure (e.g. at the edge or at the centre)."
