Let me put it this way-I always have a nice tan!
I can usually find shade, but a lot of times it is just partial, and some days, there is no shade to be found. I try to schedule dark cars either first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon.
I've thought about a canopy, but I'd need some serious weight at the bottom of the poles since it is always windy around here. Several days this spring we've had constant 20-30 mph winds.
