ColourTree CTAPRT16 20ft x 20ft x 28.3ft Turquoise Right Triangle

In this review the ColourTree CTAPRT16 right triangle shade sail is judged on durability, sun protection and practical installation for patios, pools and carports. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy duty 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compound, which the reviewer found noticeably tougher under prolonged sun exposure compared with typical recycled sails. If you need a large, breathable shade that blocks most UV while resisting fading and tearing, this review explains how the CTAPRT16 performs in everyday outdoor use.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric gives the sail a sturdier feel and improved longevity under continuous sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compound: Long laboratory UV testing supports reduced fading and drying, helping the sail keep shape and color for longer.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric substantially reduces UV and heat in shaded areas, making it useful for patios, pools and balconies.
• Breathable, water-permeable weave: Air and rain pass through so there is no pooling and the shaded space stays cooler and drier in wet weather.
• Reinforced seams and D-rings: Double layered stitched edges and stainless steel D-rings provide secure mounting points and reduce fraying.
• Three year limited warranty: A manufacturer warranty covers normal weather and usage, giving added peace of mind.

Who It's For

The CTAPRT16 is aimed at homeowners and small businesses who need a large triangular shade for a patio, swimming pool area or carport and want a durable, fade-resistant fabric that will last under strong sun. It suits people who value low maintenance: the breathable HDPE weave sheds water and resists common sun damage better than thinner recycled sails.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking a ready-to-use installation bundle (hardware is sold separately) or anyone wanting a lightweight decorative curtain rather than a heavy-duty, commercial-grade canopy. Also consider other shapes or sizes if a different geometry fits your space better.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very durable 190 GSM virgin HDPE resists tearing and fading in prolonged sun exposure.

Cons
