ColourTree Custom Size 11ft x 16ft x 19.4ft Green Right Triangle Sun

In this review of the ColourTree 11' x 16' x 19.4' right triangle sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: this is a heavy duty, UV-focused canopy for those who need strong sun protection over patios, pools, or carports. The most compelling reason to buy is the use of 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE that is UV stabilized and lab tested for long exposure, delivering reliable shade and a breathable fabric that prevents water pooling. It suits homeowners and light commercial settings that want a robust, long-lasting woven shade solution.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides a sturdier weave that resists tearing and premature wear in outdoor conditions.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Fabric treated to resist fading and drying out, helping the canopy keep its strength after prolonged sun exposure.
• 95% UV Blockage: Blocks the majority of harmful UV rays and lowers direct sunlight and temperature beneath the sail for more comfortable outdoor use.
• Breathable Woven Fabric: Allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and ventilation is maintained under the shade.
• Reinforced Construction: Double layered stitched seams and heavy stitching at corners with stainless steel D-rings improve attachment strength and edge durability.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: Warranty coverage under normal weather and usage gives additional confidence in the product lifespan.

Who It's For

The ColourTree shade sail is best for homeowners, pool owners with above-ground or patio pools, and small commercial venues seeking a durable fabric canopy that emphasizes UV protection and long-term outdoor exposure resistance. It is especially useful where a breathable cover is needed to avoid water pooling and to reduce heat under the shaded area.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need a full waterproof canopy (this is breathable fabric, not watertight) or customers who require a quick-fit kit included; installation hardware is sold separately and proper stainless steel cables and hardware are recommended for best performance.

Pros & Cons
