ColourTree CTAPRT16 10ft x 14ft x 17.2ft Right Triangle Shade Sail

In this review the ColourTree right triangle shade sail is assessed for homeowners and small business owners who need reliable sun protection in a custom size. The bottom line: this 10' x 14' x 17.2' mesh canopy is best for those who want a durable, breathable shade solution that blocks most UV while resisting fading and tearing over time. The reviewer found the fabric quality and reinforced construction to be the single biggest reason to choose this sail for patios, poolsides, and carports.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, 190 GSM 100% virgin material offers noticeably higher durability than recycled fabrics under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Treated fabric resists drying out, tearing and fading so the sail keeps its strength and appearance longer.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven mesh blocks most harmful sunlight and helps lower temperatures in the shaded area for more comfortable outdoor use.
• Breathable Design: The fabric allows air and water to pass through, preventing pooling in rain and improving comfort on hot days.
• Reinforced Seams and D-rings: Double layered edges and extra heavy stitching secure stainless steel D-rings for dependable mounting points.
• Three Year Warranty: A limited warranty covers normal weather and usage, providing extra confidence for longer term installations.

Who It's For

This shade sail is ideal for homeowners with patios, balconies, swimming pools or carports who need a durable, high UV block canopy in a right triangle layout. It suits installers who prefer breathable fabric to avoid water pooling and want materials tested for long-term sun exposure.

It is less suitable for those who need a full waterproof canopy or wish to avoid using separate hardware (installation kits and cables are required and sold separately). Buyers looking for a temporary or very low-cost disposable cover might consider lighter, non-virgin options instead.
