ColourTree CTAPRT10 Custom 19ft x 20ft x 27.6ft Right Triangle Shade

Our review of the ColourTree CTAPRT10 finds it best suited for homeowners and small commercial sites that need a durable, high-coverage sun shade. The single biggest reason to consider this shade sail is its 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE construction treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the manufacturer says was lab tested for prolonged sun exposure and is meant to resist fading, drying and tearing. For anyone looking to cut heat and UV on patios, pools or carports while keeping water runoff and airflow, this model delivers practical, long-term protection.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric is designed to be stronger and more durable under sun exposure than recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Material treatment helps prevent fading and drying, extending the useful life of the canopy in strong sunlight.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV rays and lowers sun exposure in shaded areas for patios and pools.
• Breathable, water-permeable weave: The construction allows air and rain to pass through, preventing pooling and reducing wind stress on the sail.
• Reinforced edges and stainless fittings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings at each corner improve attachment strength and resistance to fraying.
• Three year warranty: The limited warranty offers some post-purchase protection under normal weather and use.

Who It's For

This shade sail is ideal for homeowners who want a long-lasting solution for sun protection over a patio, balcony, pool or carport, and for small businesses seeking a colorful, durable cover without complex rigid structures. Its heavy-duty 190 GSM fabric and reinforced corners suit locations that see frequent strong sun and occasional wind.

It is less appropriate for those who need a freestanding shelter (posts and hardware sold separately are required) or who prefer a fully waterproof canopy; the breathable weave intentionally allows water through so it will not block rain. If you need a shipped hardware kit included, budget to purchase the proper attachment kit and cables for best performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High material quality and UV-stabilized 100% virgin HDPE for improved longevity in sunlight.
• Very effective at reducing UV exposure and heat in the shaded area thanks to 95% UV blockage.
• Breathable design prevents water pooling and reduces wind load compared with solid tarps.
• Reinforced seams and stainless D-rings make installation secure when paired with proper hardware.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included, so buyers must purchase cables and fittings separately for a complete setup.
• Breathable fabric is not fully waterproof, so it will not keep an area dry in heavy rain.
