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

Our review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle sun shade sail finds it best for homeowners who need a robust, high-coverage shade solution for 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 is designed to resist fading and extend lifespan under strong sun. The sail blocks up to 95% of UV while remaining breathable, so it reduces heat beneath the canopy without trapping water after rain.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric provides stronger resistance to sunlight and tearing than typical recycled materials.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory-tested for long-term outdoor exposure so the material resists drying out and fading over time.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven fabric significantly reduces harmful UV and lowers temperature in shaded areas for comfort.
• Breathable, Water-Permeable Weave: Allows air and rainwater to pass through so there is no pooling and less wind stress on fittings.
• Reinforced Seams and D-rings: Double layered stitched edges and stainless steel D-rings improve durability and make anchoring straightforward.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: Warranty covers normal weather and use, offering extra reassurance for outdoor installations.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners and small businesses who want a commercial-grade, heavy duty canopy for patios, above-ground pools, balconies, or carports and value UV protection and fabric longevity. The custom right triangle size (11' x 14' x 17.8') is useful when a triangular footprint fits the space better than rectangular sails.

It is not ideal for buyers seeking a low-cost temporary cover or those who cannot install proper hardware; mounting requires separate shade sail hardware and cable and the recommended installation method is with strong cables rather than nylon rope. If quick seasonal use or very light fabric is preferred, consider a lighter-weight alternative.
