ColourTree 16ft x 17ft x 23.3ft Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail - Heavy

In this review the ColourTree right triangle sun shade sail stands out as a strong option for homeowners and small businesses who need reliable sun protection with long-term durability. The single biggest reason to buy is its 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which is designed to resist fading and tearing under heavy sun exposure; that real material difference is clear in use and explains why it is marketed with a three year warranty. It suits patios, pools, balconies and carports where long-term shade and airflow matter.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric gives a sturdier feel and better long-term resistance to sun damage than thinner recycled alternatives.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory-tested material resists drying out and fading so the sail maintains color and strength after extended sun exposure.
• 95% UV Blockage: High UV blockage reduces heat and harmful sunlight below the sail, improving comfort for patios and pool areas.
• Breathable Woven Fabric: The weave lets air and water pass through to prevent pooling while still delivering effective shade and ventilation.
• Reinforced Edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings provide durable anchor points for secure mounting.
• Three Year Limited Warranty: A manufacturer warranty that provides added confidence for normal weather and usage situations.

Who It's For

The sail is best for homeowners or small commercial users who need a robust, breathable shade solution for patios, swimming pools, carports or balcony corners and who value material longevity over lowest price. It is especially suitable where a triangular right-angle installation fits a true 90 corner between walls or posts.

It is less suitable for buyers who need a complete installation kit included, since hardware and cables are sold separately, or for those who prefer a fully waterproof canopy - this fabric is breathable and designed to let water through rather than shed it.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 190 GSM virgin HDPE material feels durable and holds up well in strong sun.
• Blocks up to 95% of UV, noticeably reducing direct sunlight and heat in shaded areas.
• Well-constructed edges and stainless steel D-rings make mounting secure when used with proper hardware.

Cons

• Installation hardware and cables are not included, so buyers must purchase compatible kits separately.
• Breathable fabric allows water through, so it will not keep an area fully dry in heavy rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this sail block UV effectively?
Yes. The woven fabric is designed to block approximately 95% of harmful UV, reducing heat and sunlight beneath the sail.

Is the sail waterproof?
No. The breathable HDPE fabric allows water to pass through to prevent pooling, so it does not provide a waterproof canopy.
