ColourTree CTAPRT10 11ft x 17ft x 20.2ft Beige Right Triangle Sun

In this review the ColourTree 11' x 17' x 20.2' right triangle sun shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and small business owners who need reliable sun protection for patios, pools, and carports. The single biggest reason to consider it is the heavy duty 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the manufacturer says survived extensive laboratory UV testing and delivers significantly longer life than recycled alternatives. For anyone wanting strong, breathable shade with neat reinforced corners, this sail stands out.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric gives the sail a sturdy feel and resists tearing better than lighter materials.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory UV testing supports longer outdoor life and reduced fading under prolonged sun exposure.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric cuts most harmful UV rays and lowers direct sunlight in shaded areas for cooler use.
• Breathable weave: Air and water pass through the fabric so rain does not pool and the shaded area remains ventilated.
• Reinforced construction: Double layered stitched seams and heavy stitching at each corner help prevent fraying and keep the stainless D-rings secure.
• Three year warranty: Limited warranty under normal weather and use provides added confidence for seasonal installations.

Who It's For

The sail is ideal for homeowners with patios, balconies or swimming pools who want durable sun protection and a crisp, functional appearance. It also suits small commercial settings such as cafes or child play areas that need long-lasting shade without frequent replacement.

Those who need a complete installation kit should note hardware is sold separately; anyone without sturdy anchor points or who needs a custom mounting solution may prefer to plan for extra hardware purchases or professional installation.
