Make the Most of the Outdoors on Your Campus
The sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., right when school is in session. With physical education classes, recess, lunch breaks, sporting events and other activities taking place outdoors, K-12 students and staff are often exposed to the sun’s radiation during the peak sun hours of day.
Apollo Sunguard manufactures industry-leading shade structures to enhance the many types of multi-use outdoor areas on K-12 school campuses. Designed to mimic shade trees, Apollo Sunguard shades are made with durable high-density polyethylene material with ultraviolet additives that block up to 96% of UV rays. This reduces the risk of sunburn, overheating and other heat-related injuries and lowers temperatures by up to 20 degrees.
Apollo Sunguard is vetted as a BuyBoard-awarded vendor to simplify purchasing and ensure value for schools, municipalities, county governments and more.
