ColourTree 19 ft x 22 ft Turquoise Sun Shade Sail - Heavy Duty UV

In this review of the 19' x 22' turquoise sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: it is best for homeowners and small businesses that need broad, breathable UV protection without permanent construction. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is the fabric quality - 190 GSM of 100% virgin HDPE treated with a UV stabilized compound - which delivers noticeable shade and long-term resistance to fading. Installation is straightforward for users prepared with proper hardware, and the sail performs well over patios, pools and carports.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric gives a more durable surface that resists tearing and holds its shape better than thinner recycled materials.
• UV stabilized compound: Lab-tested for extended UV exposure so the sail resists drying out and fading over time, which preserves color and strength.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric significantly reduces harmful UV and lowers temperature in the shaded area for more comfortable outdoor use.
• Breathable, water-shedding weave: Air and water pass through the fabric to prevent pooling during rain while maintaining shade performance.
• Reinforced edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings provide durable attachment points for long-term mounting.
• Three-year limited warranty: The included warranty offers reassurance under normal weather and usage conditions.

Who It's For

The sail is ideal for homeowners with a patio, balcony or pool who want a cost-effective way to reduce afternoon sun and UV exposure without building a permanent structure. It also suits small commercial uses such as cafes or pop-up spaces that need a durable, large-format shade option.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking a fully waterproof canopy or a custom-framed permanent roof; this product is a breathable HDPE sail designed to allow water through rather than keep it fully out. Also, hardware for mounting is sold separately, so users without suitable posts or trees should plan to purchase compatible shade sail kits.

Pros & Cons
