ColourTree 16ft x 16ft x 16ft Turquoise Triangle Sun Shade Sail - UV

In this review of the ColourTree 16ft x 16ft x 16ft Turquoise Triangle sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: it is for anyone who needs a durable, highcoverage triangle sail that blocks intense sun while staying breathable. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is the heavy 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which noticeably resists fading and keeps the shaded area cooler. Installation requires hardware sold separately, but when properly mounted the sail provides reliable, longlasting protection for patios, pools and carports.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, nonrecycled material provides noticeably stronger feel and greater longevity under sun exposure compared to recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory UV testing and treatment reduce fading and drying, helping the fabric hold up over multiple seasons.
• 95% UV blockage: Effectively cuts harmful UV and lowers surface temperatures in shaded areas, which is especially useful for pools and patios.
• Breathable woven fabric: Allows air and rainwater to pass through so there is no pooling and improved comfort under the sail.
• Reinforced edges and Drings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel Drings give sturdy attachment points for cable and hardware.
• Three year warranty: Manufacturer warranty provides added confidence for normal weather and usage conditions.

Who It's For

This triangle shade sail is ideal for homeowners and small businesses who need a robust, longlasting cover for outdoor living spaces such as patios, balconies, carports and pool areas. It suits people who prioritize UV protection, durability in sunny climates, and a clean modern look in a turquoise color.

It is less well suited for buyers who expect a full mounting kit in the box; installation hardware and proper stainless cable are required and sold separately, so those wanting an allinone bundle should consider purchasing recommended hardware or a full kit elsewhere.
