13 ft x 24 ft x 27.3 ft Blue Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail - Heavy

In this review the reviewer tested the ColourTree custom right triangle sun shade sail to see if it meets the needs of homeowners and small commercial spaces seeking strong UV protection. The bottom line: this canopy is for anyone who wants a large, vibrant shade solution built from thick, virgin HDPE that blocks sunlight and resists fading. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric: 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the manufacturer says was lab tested for long-term sun exposure and appears to deliver noticeably better durability than recycled alternatives.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric: The thicker, non-recycled material offers a sturdy feel and is designed to resist tearing and degrade less under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory UV testing and the special compound reduce fading and drying, helping the sail keep its color and strength over time.
• 95% UV blockage: The tightly woven mesh significantly reduces harmful UV and lowers temperature under the canopy, useful for patios, pools and carports.
• Breathable woven construction: Air and water pass through the fabric so there is no pooling after rain and the shaded area stays ventilated.
• Reinforced edges and stainless D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and metal D-rings provide robust attachment points for a secure installation.
• Three year limited warranty: A limited warranty covers normal weather and use, giving added confidence in the product's lifespan.

Who It's For

This shade sail is well suited to homeowners, small business owners and property managers who need a large, triangular sun cover for terraces, poolside areas, carports, or outdoor seating zones. It appeals to buyers prioritizing long-term UV performance and a strong, non-recycled fabric that resists fading and tearing.

Those who should look elsewhere include people who expect to install the sail without any additional hardware kits or those needing a quick temporary solution; installation requires separate hardware and properly anchored cables. Also, if exact off-the-shelf sizing is needed without custom ordering, confirm measurements carefully before purchase.
