ColourTree CTAPR1220 19ft x 22ft Black Sun Shade Sail Canopy - Heavy

In this review the ColourTree 19' x 22' black sun shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and small businesses who need a durable, high-coverage canopy that reduces heat and harmful sunlight. The single biggest reason to consider this shade sail is its use of 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric with a UV stabilized compound, which the manufacturer says is tested to withstand prolonged sun exposure and offers strong UV protection for patios, pools and carports. This review looks at build, installation notes and real user feedback to help decide if it fits a particular outdoor shade need.

Key Features

• Material: Made from 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE for a thicker feel and improved longevity compared with recycled fabrics.
• UV Block: Blocks up to 95% of harmful UV rays, helping lower temperature and sun exposure in the shaded area.
• Breathable Weave: Breathable woven fabric allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and ventilation is retained under the sail.
• Reinforced Edges: Heavy double layered stitched seams and extra stitching at corners reduce fraying and help the sail keep its shape under load.
• Stainless Hardware Points: Each corner uses a stainless steel D-ring for secure attachment and longer corrosion resistance outdoors.
• Warranty: Covered by a 3 year limited warranty under normal weather and usage for buyer reassurance.

Who It's For

This shade sail is best suited to homeowners, rental property managers and small commercial spaces who need broad UV coverage for patios, decks, pools, carports or balconies and who prefer a heavy duty fabric over lighter mesh options. The large 19' x 22' rectangle is useful when a wide single-panel shade is required rather than multiple small sails.

Customers who expect to frequently relocate the sail, need an exact DIY mounting kit included, or require a fully water-impermeable canopy should look elsewhere; installation hardware is sold separately and the breathable fabric intentionally allows water to pass through rather than act as a waterproof tarp.
