ColourTree CTSLR 7 ft x 19 ft Blue Sun Shade Sail - Heavy Duty UPF50

Our review of the ColourTree CTSLR 7 ft x 19 ft Blue Sun Shade Sail finds it best for homeowners and small businesses who need a durable, highperformance shade solution that reduces heat and stops harmful sunlight. The single biggest reason to buy is the heavy 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compound, which the company reports survived extended laboratory UV testing and resists fading, drying and tearing better than recycled options.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, nonrecycled fabric offers a sturdy feel and is designed to last longer under sun exposure than recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory UV treatment helps prevent fading and material breakdown, which extends useful life in hot, sunny climates.
• 95% UV blockage: Breathable woven fabric blocks most harmful UV while reducing surface temperatures in shaded areas for patios and pools.
• Breathable and water resistant: The weave allows air and water to pass, reducing pooling while still offering resistance to sun and wet weather.
• Reinforced edges and hardware: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel Drings keep the sail from fraying and make attachment points more reliable.
• 3 year limited warranty: Manufacturer warranty gives added confidence under normal weather and usage.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners with patios, pools or carports who want a longlasting canopy that reduces sun and heat without trapping water. It is also a good match for small commercial outdoor seating areas that need reliable UV protection and a professional appearance.

People who need permanent, tensioned roofing for heavy storms or installations that require integrated hardware should look elsewhere or plan to buy the recommended mounting kits and strong cable separately, since installation hardware is sold separately.
