ColourTree CTAPRT10 11ft x 13ft x 17ft Blue Right Triangle Sun Shade

In this review the ColourTree CTAPRT10 11' x 13' x 17' blue right triangle sun shade sail is judged on durability and sun protection for outdoor living spaces. The bottom line: this sail is for homeowners and small commercial users who need a robust, true-color shade that blocks most UV while allowing airflow. Its standout feature is the 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which gives confidence it will resist fading and tearing where lesser recycled fabrics fail.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric provides stronger resistance to wear and sunlight compared with recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory-tested UV treatment helps prevent the fabric from drying out, tearing and fading over long sun exposure.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric cuts the majority of harmful UV rays and significantly reduces temperature in the shaded area.
• Breathable mesh construction: Breathable weave allows water and air to pass through so there is no pooling during rain and better cooling on hot days.
• Reinforced edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings give a durable attachment system for repeated installations.
• 3 year limited warranty: Warranty covers normal weather and use, offering reasonable assurance for purchase.

Who It's For

This sail suits homeowners with patios, pools, balconies or carports who want a long-lasting, commercially built shade that keeps sunlight and heat down. It is especially useful where a strong, colorfast fabric is required and where a breathable material helps avoid water pooling and improves ventilation.

Those needing a kit for immediate pole-to-pole installation should note that hardware is sold separately; customers without sturdy anchor points or who prefer pre-rigged solutions may want a complete hardware-and-sail package from another source.
