ColourTree 20ft x 20ft x 20ft Red Triangle Shade Sail - Heavy Duty UV

In this review the ColourTree 20' x 20' x 20' red triangle shade sail is assessed for homeowners and small commercial spaces seeking sturdy, long-lasting sun protection. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE construction treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the maker says has been lab-tested for extended life and offers strong sun blockage while remaining breathable. The review covers fit, build, installation notes and everyday use to help decide if it suits a patio, pool area or carport.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material should resist tearing and fading better than thinner recycled alternatives, adding longevity to installed sails.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Fabric treated to resist drying and degradation from sun exposure, which helps retain color and strength over time.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV, reducing direct sun and lowering surface temperatures beneath the sail.
• Breathable Weave: Allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and the shaded area stays cooler and ventilated.
• Reinforced Edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings provide durable connection points for mounting hardware.
• 3 Year Warranty: Limited warranty under normal weather and use offers added buyer protection for early defects or failures.

Who It's For

The ColourTree triangle sail is best for homeowners, renters with fixed anchor points, and small businesses who want a bold, functional shade over patios, pools, balconies or carports and value durable fabric and high UV blockage. It fits installations where a triangular shape and a single large canopy are suitable.

Those who need ready-to-install kits should note hardware is sold separately; buyers who cannot or prefer not to install cable and shackles themselves may want a pre-assembled awning or a professional installation service. Also, if you require blackout fabric or total waterproofing, a non-breathable canopy is a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included, so additional purchases and correct cable selection are required for safe mounting.

Our Verdict

The ColourTree 20' triangle shade sail is a practical, value-minded choice for patios, pools and carports where strong UV protection and durability matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the sail waterproof?
No. The woven HDPE is breathable to allow water to pass through, so it prevents pooling but is not a waterproof cover.

Does installation hardware come with the sail?
No. D-rings are fitted but cable, turnbuckles and wall or pole fixings are sold separately and recommended for secure mounting.

How long will the color and fabric last?
The fabric is 100% virgin HDPE treated with UV stabilizers and lab-tested for extended sun exposure; a 3 year limited warranty is provided under normal use.
