ColourTree 17ft x 17ft x 17ft Blue Triangle Sun Shade Sail - Durable

Our review of the 17' x 17' x 17' Blue Triangle Sun Shade Sail finds it well suited for homeowners and light-commercial sites that need reliable sun protection without complex maintenance. The single biggest reason to buy is the heavy 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which delivers long-lasting shade and resists fading in strong sun; users who want a breathable, 95% UV blocking canopy for patios, pools or carports will appreciate the combination of durability and airflow. This review focuses on real use, installation notes, and how the sail performs over time.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric offers stronger tear resistance and longer life than typical recycled sails under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compound: Treated material resists drying out and fading so the sail keeps its color and performance after extended UV testing.
• 95% UV blockage: Blocks the majority of harmful rays and noticeably reduces heat in the shaded area, making patio and poolside time more comfortable.
• Breathable woven fabric: Allows water and air to pass through so rain does not pool and ventilation reduces wind strain on mounting points.
• Reinforced stitching and D-ring corners: Double layered seams and stainless steel D-rings provide strong attachment points for longer service life.
• 3 year limited warranty: Warranty coverage gives reasonable reassurance for normal use and weather conditions.

Who It's For

The sail is ideal for homeowners, small business owners and renters who need a robust shade solution for patios, pools, balconies or carports and who prefer a breathable fabric that prevents water pooling. It suits anyone wanting a triangle configuration to cover awkward or triangular spaces, with a focus on long-term color retention and UV resistance.

It is less suitable for installations that require included hardware or for users who expect a fully waterproof canopy; installation hardware is sold separately and stainless cables or proper shade hardware are recommended for secure mounting and best appearance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric provides durability and superior UV resistance compared with recycled materials.
• Blocks 95% of UV and reduces temperature under the sail while remaining breathable to prevent pooling.
• Reinforced seams and stainless D-rings make mounting reliable when paired with proper hardware and cables.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included, so buyers must purchase compatible shade sail kits and cables separately.
• Not designed to be fully waterproof, so it will not keep out heavy rain the way a solid tarp would.

Specifications
