ColourTree CTAPR0816 19 ft x 20 ft Sand Beige Sun Shade Sail - Heavy

Our review of the ColourTree 19 ft x 20 ft sand beige shade sail finds it best for homeowners or small commercial spaces that need broad, reliable UV protection without permanent construction. The single biggest reason to buy is the heavy 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric tested for long UV life, which delivers substantial shade and reduced heat over a wide area. Installation is straightforward if you prepare sturdy anchor points and the sail's breathable weave avoids pooling, making it practical for patios, pools, carports and balconies.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides a more durable fabric that resists tearing and fading under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory-tested fabric that went through extensive UV exposure to reduce drying out and extend usable life compared to recycled alternatives.
• 95% UV blockage: The tightly woven fabric blocks most harmful UV rays and noticeably reduces direct sunlight and temperature in the shaded area.
• Breathable woven design: Allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and the shade remains comfortable in summer conditions.
• Reinforced edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings provide stronger anchor points and help the sail keep its shape.
• 3 year limited warranty: Warranty provides added confidence for normal use and weather conditions.

Who It's For

The ColourTree 19 ft x 20 ft sand beige sail is ideal for homeowners who want a large, affordable shade solution for a patio, poolside or carport and for light commercial settings that need a temporary covered area. It suits buyers who prefer a breathable fabric that cuts heat while avoiding water pooling and mildew issues.

It is less suited to someone who needs a permanently fixed roofing solution or who cannot provide solid mounting points; installation requires good anchor posts or existing structures and the correct hardware sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sail stop rain from pooling?
Because the fabric is breathable, water passes through rather than pooling, so it resists sagging in rain.

Do I get installation hardware with the sail?
No, hardware kits and cables are sold separately; each D-ring needs a cable and secure anchor points to install properly.

How long will the color and fabric last?
The sail uses UV stabilized virgin HDPE and was lab tested for extended UV exposure; the product also carries a 3 year limited warranty for normal use.
