ColourTree CTAPRT10 Custom 13ft x 17ft x 21.4ft Right Triangle Shade

In this review the ColourTree CTAPRT10 is judged on durability and sun protection for outdoor living spaces; it is aimed at homeowners and light commercial users who need a robust, large triangle shade. The bottom line: the sail's 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric and UV stabilized compound deliver reliable long-term sun blockage and breathability, making it a smart choice for patios, pools, carports or balconies where heat reduction and fade resistance matter most.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric provides a sturdier feel and improved longevity compared with lighter or recycled materials.
• UV stabilized compound: Material was laboratory tested for extended UV exposure and resists drying, tearing, and fading to keep the sail functional longer.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric significantly reduces harmful UV and lowers sun intensity in the shaded area for better comfort.
• Breathable weave: Allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and airflow is maintained under the canopy.
• Reinforced edges and stainless D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and heavy corner stitching make mounting points more durable under tension.
• Three year warranty: Manufacturer warranty covers normal weather and usage, offering additional assurance on long-term use.

Who It's For

The ColourTree CTAPRT10 is best for homeowners or small commercial sites needing a large triangle shade that blocks most UV and stands up to strong sun. It suits patios, poolside areas, carports and balconies where a durable, breathable cover is required and color retention is important.

Those who need full waterproof coverage, a ready-to-assemble frame, or a very lightweight seasonal cover should look elsewhere; this sail is designed as a durable, breathable sun shade rather than a sheet of impermeable rain protection. Installation hardware is sold separately, so buyers who want an all-in-one kit should factor that in.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 190 GSM virgin HDPE offers a robust, long-lasting fabric that resists UV damage.
• Breathable construction blocks 95% of UV while preventing water pooling and encouraging airflow.
• Stitched reinforced edges and stainless steel D-rings make attachment points sturdy and reliable.
• Good value for money given the heavy duty materials and a 3 year limited warranty.

Cons

• Hardware and cables are not included, so buyers must purchase recommended kits separately for proper installation.
• Sizing must be planned carefully for corner mounting; some users may need to adjust attachment points for a true 90 corner fit.
