ColourTree Custom Size 14ft x 18ft x 22.8ft Right Triangle Sun Shade

In this review the ColourTree custom right triangle sun shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and light commercial users who need reliable sun protection over patios, pools, or carports. The main reason to buy is its heavy 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound that survived long laboratory testing and is designed to resist fading and tearing, making it a long-lasting shading solution where sun exposure and heat are the primary concerns.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The dense, non-recycled fabric provides a thicker, more durable barrier against wear and sun damage than typical recycled options.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Treated material resists drying out and fading, which extends useful life when exposed to strong sunlight.
• 95% UV Blockage: Blocks most harmful UV rays and reduces temperature under the sail, improving comfort for patios and pool areas.
• Breathable Woven Fabric: Allows water and air to pass through to avoid pooling and promote airflow while still providing shade.
• Reinforced Construction: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings at each corner enhance strength and simplify hanging.
• Three Year Warranty: A limited 3 year warranty covers normal weather and usage, giving added confidence in the product.

Who It's For

The sail fits homeowners, renters with secure anchor points, and small commercial sites that need a durable, high-coverage shade solution for patios, balconies, swimming pools, or carports. Its heavy 190 GSM virgin HDPE and UV treatment make it well suited to locations with prolonged sun exposure and occasional wind.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need a waterproof canopy (this fabric is breathable and allows water through) or customers who lack sturdy anchor points and do not plan to purchase appropriate hardware, since installation kits are sold separately and the manufacturer warns against nylon ropes.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric that feels noticeably thicker and resists fading.
• Excellent sun protection with about 95% UV blockage and improved comfort underneath.
• Sturdy edges and stainless steel D-rings make for secure mounting when paired with proper hardware.
• Breathable weave prevents water pooling during rain and reduces wind load compared with solid panels.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included and must be purchased separately for a complete setup.
• As a breathable shade sail, it is not waterproof, so it will not provide full rain protection.

Specifications

With thick virgin HDPE, reinforced seams and stainless steel D-rings it offers good value for patios and pool areas, provided buyers plan for separate hardware and do not require full rainproof coverage.
