ColourTree CTAPRT16 6ft x 11ft x 12.5ft Black Right Triangle Sun Shade

In this review the ColourTree CTAPRT16 6ft x 11ft x 12.5ft black right triangle shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and small commercial spaces needing reliable sun protection. The bottom line: this sail is for anyone who wants a heavy duty, commercial-grade shade that blocks most UV while remaining breathable and long lasting. The reviewer found the fabric construction and UV stabilization to be the single biggest reason to buy, as it offers longevity and effective heat reduction without trapping water or requiring constant maintenance.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick 190 GSM 100% virgin fabric provides a sturdier feeling and longer expected life compared with recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory UV testing and additive treatment reduce fading, drying and tearing so the sail keeps functional appearance over time.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven mesh blocks 95% of harmful UV, noticeably lowering sunlight and heat in the shaded area.
• Breathable woven fabric: Air and water pass through the fabric to prevent pooling and reduce wind stress while maintaining shade.
• Reinforced edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings give secure anchoring points for hardware and strong load distribution.
• Commercial heavy duty design: Built for patio or pool use with a 3 year limited warranty under normal weather and usage.

Who It's For

The sail is best for homeowners, poolside areas, patios, balconies and small commercial outdoor seating areas that need a durable, high-UV protection canopy. Its right triangle shape fits corners, carports and asymmetrical spaces where a rectangular sail would not sit cleanly.

People who need a fully turnkey mounting solution should look elsewhere, because installation hardware kits are sold separately and proper stainless cables or hardware are required for best performance and appearance. Also, those wanting a lightweight temporary shade for occasional use may prefer a thinner, lower-GSM option.

Pros & Cons

Will water pool on the fabric?
No. The woven HDPE fabric is breathable so water passes through and does not pool on the sail.

How durable is the fabric in strong sun?
The 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE has been UV stabilized and lab tested for extended sun exposure, offering better resistance to fading and tearing than recycled materials.
