ColourTree Custom 9ft x 17ft x 19.2ft Blue Right Triangle Sun Shade

In this review the ColourTree custom right triangle sun shade sail proved to be a practical choice for homeowners and small commercial spaces seeking robust UV protection. The single biggest reason to buy is its 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which provides long-term resistance to fading and tearing under strong sun. It is best for patios, pools and carports where a breathable, durable cover is required and the right triangle shape fits angled or corner installations well.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric delivers heavier duty performance and a longer expected service life compared with recycled alternatives.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory UV testing supports improved resistance to sun damage, reducing drying out, tearing and color fade over time.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV rays and helps lower temperature in the shaded area during hot months.
• Breathable Construction: The weave lets air and rain pass through, preventing pooling water and reducing wind stress on the sail.
• Reinforced Seams and D-rings: Double layered stitched edges and stainless steel D-rings improve durability and make attachment points secure.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: The included warranty offers buyer reassurance under normal weather and usage conditions.

Who It's For

The sail is ideal for homeowners with patios, balconies, swimming pools or carports who need high UPF protection and a durable, breathable canopy that resists fading. It suits installers who prefer a right triangle configuration to fit corners or irregularly shaped outdoor spaces and who will use proper hardware for tensioned installation.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers needing a ready-to-install package with hardware included, or customers wanting a very lightweight, decorative fabric rather than a heavy-duty, commercial-grade mesh. Also, if a perfectly waterproof, solid tarp is required, a breathable HDPE shade sail is not the correct choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 190 GSM virgin HDPE resists sun damage and outlasts many recycled options in strong sun.
• Blocks 95% of UV rays while remaining breathable to prevent water pooling.
• Well finished with reinforced seams and stainless steel D-rings for secure mounting.

Cons

• Installation hardware is sold separately, so additional purchase and proper mounting are required for a complete setup.
• The breathable mesh reduces sun and heat but is not fully waterproof if complete rain protection is needed.
