My husband has had lots of skin cancers removed - non-melanoma due to swimming 4-5 times a week and living on a sailboat when he was in grad school many years ago. I have not had a tan line in decades. I am careful in the sun yet prefer living in a sunny, tropical environment. That said, I notice there are no indoor pools or sun-protected pools in TV or perhaps I am mistaken. I plan on having a pool in my home. My question is, can bird cages have glass that shields us from the sun's rays? Also, how does one clean those glass bird cages? Thank you.
The Chatham rec center pool has shade in the afternoons that reaches the pool. There are some arbor viti trees along one side that around 4 pm cast a shadow onto the seating area on that side and onto the pool. This is in the October to May time frame.
