17 ft x 22 ft x 27.8 ft Beige Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail - Heavy

In this review the ColourTree 17 ft x 22 ft x 27.8 ft beige right triangle sun shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and light commercial users who need a durable, breathable canopy for patios, pools or carports. The bottom line: this shade sail stands out because it is made from 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE that survived extensive UV testing, so its biggest reason to buy is long-term sun resistance and reliable UV protection. The review focuses on build quality, ease of installation with proper hardware, and how well it keeps shaded areas cooler.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides stronger tear resistance and a longer lifespan than recycled alternatives under direct sun exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Fabric treated to resist drying, tearing and fading so the sail maintains form and color after prolonged UV exposure.
• 95% UV Blockage: High UV blockage reduces sunlight and heat in shaded areas, making patios and pools noticeably cooler on hot days.
• Breathable Woven Fabric: The weave allows air and water to pass through, preventing water pooling during rain while preserving airflow beneath the sail.
• Reinforced Edges with Stainless D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings offer durable attachment points that resist fraying and pulling out.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: Manufacturer warranty offers reasonable protection under normal weather and usage for added peace of mind.

Who It's For

The sail is well suited to homeowners, small businesses and property managers who want a dependable, long-lasting shade solution for terraces, swimming pools, balconies, carports and outdoor seating areas. Its heavy 190 GSM virgin HDPE and UV stabilization make it a good choice where sustained sun exposure and color retention matter.

It is not a complete installation kit: buyers who lack mounting points or need turn-key hardware should purchase compatible shade sail hardware sets and stainless cable separately, and those seeking a temporary lightweight canopy for occasional use may prefer a lighter, less costly fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the sail require a special rope or cable?
Answer. Each D-ring requires a cable or approved hardware kit; do not use nylon ropes as they can break - high quality stainless cable and shade sail hardware are recommended.

Will water pool on the fabric in rain?
Answer. No, the breathable woven HDPE allows water to pass through so pooling is not expected with normal drainage.

How long will the color and fabric last in sun?
Answer. The virgin HDPE was lab-tested for 20000 hours of UV exposure and is treated with a UV stabilized compound to significantly reduce fading, tearing and drying under sun.
