ColourTree Custom Size 13ft x 16ft x 20.6ft Green Right Triangle Shade

In this review the ColourTree custom right triangle shade sail is assessed for homeowners and small commercial spaces seeking long-lasting sun protection. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the reviewer found noticeably more robust and colorfast than recycled alternatives after extended sun exposure.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: A thicker, non-recycled fabric provides stronger tear resistance and a firmer feel that holds shape better under tension.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory-tested UV treatment is designed to reduce fading and material breakdown, extending usable life outdoors.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric significantly reduces direct UV and lowers ambient temperature beneath the sail, making patios and pools more comfortable.
• Breathable mesh construction: Allows air and water to pass through so there is no ponding after rain and shaded areas stay ventilated.
• Reinforced seams and stainless D-rings: Double layered hem stitching and heavy corner attachment points improve durability and simplify anchoring.
• 3 year limited warranty: Coverage under normal weather and usage offers some assurance for buyers concerned about longevity.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners, renters with secure mounting points, and small businesses who need a large, triangular sun cover for a patio, poolside, balcony or carport. It is particularly useful where long-term UV exposure is a concern and buyers want a thicker fabric that resists tearing and fading.

Those who should look elsewhere include people who need a ready-made hardware kit included (this product requires separately sold installation hardware and cables) or buyers who prefer closed waterproof canopies rather than a breathable mesh that allows water to pass through.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 190 GSM virgin HDPE offers durability and less fading in strong sun.
• Blocks 95% of UV, noticeably cooling shaded areas and protecting surfaces beneath.
• Breathable fabric prevents water pooling and helps airflow on hot days.
• Reinforced edges and stainless steel D-rings simplify long-term mounting.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included, so additional purchase and proper cable selection are required.
• As a mesh sail it does not provide full rainproof shelter for heavy downpours.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The ColourTree 13ft x 16ft x 20.6ft right triangle shade sail is a solid choice for anyone needing reliable UV protection and a durable fabric that resists fading. It offers good value for outdoor residential and light commercial use, provided buyers plan to purchase proper installation hardware separately and accept a breathable mesh rather than a waterproof cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it block most UV?
Yes, the woven fabric is rated to block about 95% of harmful UV rays to reduce sun exposure and heat under the sail.

Is the fabric waterproof?
No, the mesh is breathable to allow water and air to pass through, so it prevents pooling but is not fully rainproof.

Are mounting kits included?
No, corner D-rings are on the sail but installation hardware and cable ropes must be purchased separately; use steel cable or recommended kits, not nylon rope.
