ColourTree Custom Size 10ft x 19ft x 21.5ft Right Triangle Sun Shade

In this review of the ColourTree Custom Size right triangle sun shade sail, the bottom line is straightforward: this is for people who need a heavy duty, high-coverage shade solution that stands up to strong sun and looks neat once installed. The reviewer found the 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric and reinforced construction to be the single biggest reason to buy, because the material is designed to resist fading and tearing where recycled fabrics often fail. Installation requires separate hardware, but once tensioned the sail gives reliable shade and air flow.

Key Features

• 190 GSM 100% Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric provides greater tear resistance and longer life under sun exposure compared to recycled alternatives.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory UV testing supports improved durability and reduced fading, which helps the canopy keep its color and strength over time.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven mesh blocks most harmful UV rays and noticeably reduces heat under the sail for more comfortable outdoor use.
• Breathable Woven Fabric: Allows air and water to pass through so there is no pooling after rain and the shaded area remains ventilated.
• Reinforced Edges and Stainless D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and heavy stitching at corners keep the sail square and secure when mounted correctly.
• 3-Year Limited Warranty: Warranty coverage provides reasonable assurance of expected performance under normal weather and usage.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners, renters with outdoor spaces, or small businesses needing a durable, large right-triangle canopy for patios, pools, carports, or balconies. It is particularly well suited to sunny, high-UV climates where fabric longevity and color retention matter.

It is less appropriate for buyers who want a fully waterproof awning or an integrated mounting kit; installation hardware and cables must be purchased separately, and the fabric is a breathable mesh rather than a water-impermeable cover.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thick 190 GSM virgin HDPE construction makes the sail feel robust and long-lasting.
• High UV blockage and UV-stabilized treatment reduce heat and sun damage in shaded areas.
• Reinforced seams and stainless steel D-rings simplify tensioning and keep the sail secure.
• Breathable mesh prevents water pooling and improves airflow under the canopy.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included, so buyers must budget for proper cables and fittings.
• As a breathable mesh, it is not fully waterproof for heavy continuous rain protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the sail waterproof?
The fabric is a breathable mesh so it is not fully waterproof; it allows water to pass through and prevents pooling but will not stop heavy rain.

Does mounting hardware come with the sail?
No, installation hardware and cables are sold separately and are required for safe, tensioned mounting.

How resistant is the fabric to sun damage?
The 190 GSM virgin HDPE is treated with a UV stabilized compound and laboratory-tested for extended UV durability, which reduces fading and tearing over time.
