ColourTree Custom Size 14ft x16ft x21.3ft Right Triangle Sun Shade

Our review of this ColourTree custom right triangle sun shade sail finds it best suited to anyone needing a large, durable canopy for patios, pools or carports; the single biggest reason to buy is the use of 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilised compound, which is designed to resist fading and drying and lasts longer under sun exposure. The reviewer found the shade effective at reducing sunlight and heat, simple to tension if paired with proper hardware, and a sensible choice when long-term UV protection and breathable material are priorities.

Key Features

• Material: 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE offers a thicker, non-recycled weave that tests show to withstand sunlight longer than recycled alternatives.
• UV protection: The fabric is engineered to block up to 95% of harmful UV, lowering temperature and direct sun in the shaded area.
• Breathability: Woven mesh lets air and water pass through to avoid pooling and reduce wind load while maintaining shade.
• Durable construction: Double layered reinforced stitched seams and heavy stitching at corners protect against fraying and help the D-rings stay secure.
• Hardware ready: Stainless steel D-rings are fitted at each corner for easy hanging, provided the buyer supplies compatible shade sail hardware and cables.
• Warranty: Comes with a 3 year limited warranty under normal weather and usage conditions for added buyer assurance.

Who It's For

This sun shade sail fits homeowners with larger outdoor spaces such as patios, above-ground pools or carports who need broad UV protection and prefer a breathable canopy that reduces heat without trapping rainwater. It also suits small businesses or commercial settings that want a heavy duty, long-lasting mesh sail for customer or staff comfort.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking a ready-to-install kit with all mounting hardware included or people who need a soft, non-mesh fabric that fully blocks wind and water; installation requires separate hardware and proper cable tensioning to perform well.
