ColourTree Custom Size 13ft x 17ft x 21.4ft Grey Right Triangle Shade

Our review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle sun shade sail finds it best suited for homeowners and light commercial settings that need a large, durable UV-stable canopy. 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 degradation under prolonged sun exposure. This review examines durability, sun blockage, and ease of installation to help decide if this shade sail fits a patio, pool area, balcony or carport.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric gives stronger resistance to sun damage and tearing compared with recycled alternatives.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Lab-tested material went through extensive UV exposure to reduce fading and extend the useful life of the sail.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven fabric significantly reduces harmful UV and lowers temperature in shaded areas for more comfortable outdoor use.
• Breathable Mesh Construction: Allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and the covered area stays ventilated.
• Reinforced Edges and Corners: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings improve attachment strength and help prevent frayed edges.
• Commercial Heavy Duty Build: Intended for heavier duty outdoor use and supplied with a 3 year limited warranty under normal weather and usage.

Who It's For

This shade sail is aimed at people who need a large, sturdy fabric canopy for patios, above-ground pools, carports, balconies, or light commercial spaces where UV protection and breathability are priorities. Installers who plan to leave a canopy in place for seasons will appreciate the UV testing and thicker virgin HDPE.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need pre-attached hardware or a full mounting kit included, since installation hardware is sold separately, and anyone requiring an exact off-the-shelf standard size smaller than these custom dimensions should verify fit carefully before ordering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High material quality from 100% virgin HDPE offers improved long-term UV resistance.
• Blocks up to 95% of harmful UV while allowing airflow and water drainage, reducing heat and pooling.
• Reinforced seams and stainless steel D-rings make anchoring more secure when used with appropriate hardware.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included and incorrect ropes can fail, so quality kit purchase is required separately.
• Some customers reported mixed durability experiences, so extreme conditions may still risk damage over time.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The ColourTree 13' x 17' x 21.4' right triangle shade sail is a strong value for anyone who needs a large, breathable canopy with serious UV protection and reinforced attachment points. Buy it if you can pair it with a proper hardware kit and want higher durability from virgin HDPE; those needing included mounting gear or absolute assurance against extreme weather should plan for extra reinforcement or a different product.
