ColourTree Custom Size 14ft x 20ft x 24.4ft Grey Right Triangle Shade

Our review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle shade sail finds it best for homeowners and light commercial users who need a large, durable sun shade that blocks heat and UV without trapping moisture. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric: a 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE that the maker says was UV tested for extended life, so the sail feels noticeably thicker and more robust than many cheaper recycled alternatives. It delivers substantial shade and airflow while resisting fading and fraying when installed correctly.

Key Features

• Virgin 190 GSM HDPE: The thick, non-recycled material provides stronger resistance to tearing and surface degradation than recycled fabrics, giving the sail a sturdier feel and longer expected life.
• UV stabilized compound: Treatment in the fabric reduces fading and brittleness under sun exposure, helping the sail stay effective for seasons without needing replacement.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric significantly reduces harmful UV and lowers direct sunlight and temperature in the shaded area, useful over patios, pools, and carports.
• Breathable, water-permeable weave: Air and water pass through the mesh to prevent pooling and maintain airflow, so the area beneath stays cooler and drainage is automatic in rain.
• Reinforced edges and stainless D-rings: Double layered seams and heavy stitching around corners give secure attachment points for cables and hardware when installed with the recommended kits.
• 3 year limited warranty: Coverage under normal weather and use provides extra confidence in the product's durability and workmanship.

Who It's For

The sail is suited to homeowners, small businesses, and property managers who need a large, custom-sized shade for patios, pools, balconies, or carports and who value long-term UV resistance and a heavy-duty fabric. It is especially relevant when a breathable, non-waterproof cover is preferred to avoid water pooling and to keep the shaded area ventilated.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who require a fully waterproof canopy, a pre-fitted hardware set included with the sail, or a very lightweight temporary cover; installation hardware is sold separately and proper stainless cable and fittings are recommended for best performance.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Installation hardware and cables are not included, so additional cost and correct fittings are required for a secure setup.
