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

Our review of the ColourTree CTAPRT10 finds it best suited for homeowners and small businesses who need a durable, highcoverage shade sail that resists fading and sun damage. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric: a 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE that underwent extended UV testing and is treated with a UV stabilized compound, so it holds color and strength longer than recycled materials while blocking most harmful rays. This shade sail performs as a functional, lowmaintenance sun screen for patios, pools and carports.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, nonrecycled fabric designed to resist tearing and retain strength under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory UV testing supports improved durability and reduced fading compared with recycled alternatives.
• 95% UV blockage: Effectively reduces UV sunlight and lowers temperature under the sail for more comfortable outdoor use.
• Breathable woven fabric: Allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and the sail dries quickly without heavy maintenance.
• Reinforced edges and stainless Drings: Double layered stitched seams and heavy stitching at corners improve longevity and simplify secure installation.
• Three year warranty: Limited warranty offers protection under normal weather and usage for added buyer confidence.

Who It's For

This shade sail is ideal for homeowners, renters with permission to hang a sail, small businesses and cafes that need longlasting sun protection over patios, pools, balconies or carports. The heavy 190 GSM fabric and UV treatment make it a sensible choice where extended sun exposure and color retention matter most.

It is less suited to customers who cannot attach hardware to walls, poles or trees or those who need a temporary, very lightweight cover for occasional use. Installation hardware is sold separately, so buyers seeking an allinone kit should plan to purchase recommended cables and fittings.
