We haven’t had the best of luck with the weather over the past couple of months here in the UK, however according to the forecasts we are in for some much-needed sun!
At Whatshed.co.uk we are always looking to improve our products and have a few exciting things in the pipeline, so we thought why not take advantage of the upcoming heat wave and put our products to the ultimate test? Fortunately for the public, we need some extra help to do this, cue the Parasol Patrol!
The Parasol Patrol is essentially our very own team of professional sunbathers, five sun-loving individuals, whose roles will be to review our upcoming garden products, rating each item’s comfort, style, practicality, and overall value.
Each pro will be sent products to review for a month and will include; sun loungers, outdoor furniture, cushions, parasols and other garden accessories.
In return for their work each Professional Sunbather will be paid £40 an hour to work five hours a week, and we’ll also cover expenses for all sunbathing essentials, including sunblock, food and beverages.
We do want to make it very clear that safety is always a priority and despite sunbathing being great, obviously it can be extremely dangerous. Therefore, to ensure each of our professionals stay safe, the Parasol Patrol will be contracted to comply with a number of sun safety precautions. For example, the successful candidates will be required to wear factor 50 sunblock at all times, which must be reapplied a minimum of every two hours and candidates must work for no longer than three hours across an entire day.
We are happy to confirm that no qualifications are needed for the role; however to apply you must be living in the UK, over the age of 18 and of course have access to a garden or outdoor space with good sun exposure.
Now you may be thinking, we live in the UK, what if it rains? No need to worry, due to the unpredictability of the weather the role will be flexible and if we are hit with rain the employment period can be extended. To hopefully avoid that scenario and to make the most of the sunshine whilst it’s around, we are looking for our professional sunbathers to start as soon as possible – applications for the role will close 30th June.
If you think you could be a great judge on what makes the best garden products and fancy soaking up the sun, please fill in the form below:
Please note: we will be unable to respond to all applicants.

Scores
Brilliant idea for people who have vitamin D deficiancy
Scores
Would love to have the chance of getting accepted
Scores
Brilliant idea my customers and I would enjoy be able to try and see different ideas and furniture for the garden to make their experience at the pub even more enjoyable.
Scores
This is a wonderful idea its very difficult to get a ticks all boxes purchase when it comes to garden furniture some are very poorly made and so uncomfortable plus difficult to build it also needs to be relatively easy to store in bad weather…I would love to try some out.
Scores
I think this is a good idea. Comfort is always essential. And price will be good too. ??
Scores
Sounds like the perfect fun in the sun ‘job’!
Scores
How many out door set I have brought to find they are not comfortable don’t recline far enough material not comfortable ect would love to be picked as a tester.

Perfect excuse to top up the tan! Applied.
Scores
Thus is a fantastic offer,real people testing products to give real honest answers,rather than overly commercially advertising
Scores
I think this is a fantastic idea. Real people being able to give honest reviews on real products. I would love this opportunity to take part and having mobility problems would give reviews on the ease of sitting and rising from the garden furniture. Being paid to test whilst getting some vitamin D is an extra bonus. Would also allow me to cut back on working hours, which due to ill health, I struggle with.
Scores
What a fabulous way to get peoples honest opinions and ideas on how to improve your products. Cracking idea!
Scores
love it ☀️ when the sun is out i am out no stoping me ☀️❤️
Scores
I don’t know till i review it. Great concept but cannot comment without experience of goods a
Scores
I think this is such a lovely idea to offer people to try your wonderful products, and to get payed to sit in the sun which is so good for vitamin D is such a bonus this is such a lovely thing to do well done x
Scores
This is a great initiative where the consumer will be able to get a first hand review on products
Scores
This is a fantastic idea, it will be good for when people want to buy the garden items they will have the feedback from the people that have tested the items. Love sunbathing so a perfect job for me.
Scores
Great idea, not being able to find products I actually enjoy using I’d love to give this a go.
Scores
Very good idea if it is true and would like to try out some new equipment
Scores
Great idea so the potential buyers can see the reviews on which item they would be interested in buying ???
Scores
Good idea
Scores
I would love too own a shed got such a large back garden and no where too keep tools don’t have shed or anywhere too keep anything at the moment just under a plastic sheet

Scores
Have recently taken early retirement (57) so have time to dedicate to this project. Also a paved garden that is crying out for some garden furniture ( all be it temporary!) Would love to be considered but enjoy to whoever gets the gig ! ?
Scores

Scores
Brilliant idea to get reviews and opinions from regular sun worshippers!
