ColourTree 10ft x 14ft x 17.2ft Blue Right Triangle Shade Sail

In this review of the ColourTree 10' x 14' x 17.2' right triangle shade sail, the bottom line is simple: it is a heavy duty, color-forward sun shade best suited for patios, pools and corners where long-term UV protection and breathability matter. The reviewer found the key reason to buy is the thick 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compound, which feels noticeably sturdier than typical recycled sails and promises longer life in intense sun. Installation is straightforward when paired with proper hardware, and the fabric blocks most sunlight while allowing airflow.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric delivers a firmer feel and improved longevity under sun exposure compared to recycled options.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Extensive UV lab testing informs the treatment, helping prevent drying, tearing and fading over time.
• 95% UV Blockage: The closely woven fabric reduces heat and harmful UV in shaded areas, making it practical for patios and poolside use.
• Breathable Woven Fabric: Air and water pass through the sail so rain does not pool and ventilation keeps shaded areas cooler.
• Reinforced Edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings provide reliable anchor points for cable attachment.
• Three Year Warranty: A limited 3 year warranty covers normal weather and use, offering extra peace of mind for long-term installations.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners and small commercial spaces seeking a durable, colorful solution for UV protection over patios, balconies, carports and pool areas. It is particularly useful where a true right-angle corner or three-point anchoring is available and where a breathable fabric is preferred to avoid water pooling.

Those needing an all-in-one mounting kit should look elsewhere at bundled hardware options, since installation hardware is sold separately. Buyers who require a temporary or lightweight sun shade for occasional use may find this heavy duty 190 GSM fabric more than they need.
