ColourTree Custom Size 11ft x 14ft x 17.8ft Green Right Triangle Sun

In this review the ColourTree custom size right triangle sun shade sail earns its place for homeowners and light-commercial users who need reliable UV protection over patios, pools or carports. The single biggest reason to buy is the heavy 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the reviewer found felt substantially thicker and more robust than typical recycled sails and promises longer life in constant sun. Installation is straightforward for a DIYer with the right hardware, and performance in shade and airflow is excellent.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric provides a noticeably sturdier feel and resists tearing compared to thinner sails.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Lab-tested to withstand extended UV exposure so the material resists drying, fading and brittleness over time.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV, lowering direct sun and helping reduce surface temperatures beneath the sail.
• Breathable Woven Design: Air and water pass through the mesh to prevent pooling and allow cooling airflow in hot weather.
• Reinforced Edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings give strong anchor points for a secure installation.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: Coverage under normal weather and use gives added confidence in the product's longevity.

Who It's For

This sun shade sail is best suited for homeowners, pool owners and small commercial spaces that need a durable, large-area shade solution that still allows airflow. The thicker 190 GSM virgin fabric is a good fit where long-term UV resistance and tear strength matter more than the lowest price.

People who want an all-in-one hardware kit included or who cannot attach to fixed anchors should look elsewhere, since mounting hardware is sold separately and proper cables or kit are required for a secure setup. Those needing exact off-the-shelf standard sizes only may prefer pre-cut options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 190 GSM virgin material that feels heavier and more tear-resistant than recycled alternatives.
• High UV blockage and breathable weave that reduces heat while avoiding water pooling.
• Strong construction with reinforced seams and stainless steel D-rings for secure anchoring.
• Three year limited warranty provides some protection for normal use.

Cons

• Installation requires separately purchased hardware and correct cables; poor ropes can fail.
• Some customers reported mixed durability experiences, so longevity can vary by installation and local weather.

How long will it last in sun?
The fabric is UV stabilized and lab-tested for extended exposure, and the product carries a 3 year limited warranty under normal use, though real-world longevity can vary by conditions.
