ColourTree Custom 6ft x 6ft x 8.5ft Turquoise Right Triangle Shade

In this review the ColourTree 6' x 6' x 8.5' turquoise right triangle shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and small businesses who need reliable sun protection. The bottom line: it is a heavy duty, high-UV performance canopy that stands out because it uses 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compound, which translates to long-term color retention and strength under strong sun. The reviewer found it especially well suited to patio and poolside installs where breathable fabric and strong seams matter.

Key Features

• Material: The 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric offers greater durability under sun exposure than recycled alternatives, reducing premature wear.
• UV protection: Rated to block 95% of harmful UV, it noticeably lowers direct sunlight and temperature in the shaded area.
• Breathability: The woven mesh lets air and water pass through to prevent pooling and keep the space cooler in hot weather.
• Construction: Double layered reinforced stitched seams and heavy stitching at corners help maintain shape and secure stainless steel D-rings.
• Longevity: Laboratory UV testing and a 3 year limited warranty provide confidence in lasting performance under normal weather and use.

Who It's For

The shade sail is aimed at homeowners, rental property managers, and small commercial sites that need a robust, fixed shade solution for patios, pools, balconies, carports and similar outdoor areas. Installers who prefer breathable fabric that avoids water pooling and reduces heat will appreciate the mesh design.

Those seeking a complete mounting solution should note hardware kits and cable ropes are sold separately; this product is the fabric canopy itself, so do not buy this if you need a packaged hardware set included.
