ColourTree Custom Size 13 ft x 13 ft Green Triangle Sun Shade Sail

In this review the ColourTree 13 ft x 13 ft x 13 ft green triangle sun shade sail is judged on durability, UV protection and everyday practicality for patios and pools. The bottom line: it is a hardworking shade sail for homeowners who want a heavy duty, breathable canopy that blocks sun effectively and resists fading. The reviewer found the material and construction to be the single biggest reason to buy, with the 190 GSM virgin HDPE and UV stabilized compound delivering long-term performance rather than a short-term, budget option.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides a sturdier fabric that resists tearing and holds shape under tension for longer life.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory-tested to withstand prolonged sun exposure so the sail is less likely to fade or dry out compared with recycled alternatives.
• 95% UV blockage: Significantly reduces harmful UV and lowers temperature under the canopy, making it suitable for patios, pools and carports.
• Breathable woven fabric: Allows air and water to pass through so there is no pooling when it rains and it remains comfortable beneath.
• Reinforced seams and D-rings: Double layered edges and stainless steel D-rings give secure mounting points and reduce fraying at stress points.
• Three year limited warranty: Covers normal weather and usage, offering extra confidence for residential installations.

Who It's For

This sun shade sail is aimed at homeowners and small commercial users who need a reliable, long-lasting canopy for a patio, balcony, swimming pool or carport. People who value UV protection and a breathable fabric that avoids water pooling will appreciate the 95% UV blockage and the heavy duty 190 GSM virgin HDPE construction.

Those who should look elsewhere include customers needing a fully waterproof cover or a lightweight, temporary shade for occasional use; this is a robust, permanent-style sail that performs best when installed with proper hardware and tension. Also note that hardware kits are sold separately and must be chosen to match the installation.

No, the woven HDPE is breathable and allows water to pass through, so it prevents pooling but is not a fully waterproof roof.

Are mounting kits included?
No, installation hardware kits are sold separately and each D-ring requires a cable rope and appropriate hardware for best performance.
