ColourTree Custom Size 15ft x 23ft x 27.5ft Turquoise Right Triangle

In this review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle shade sail, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a heavy duty, UV-blocking canopy for anyone needing long-lasting outdoor shade. The reviewer found it especially well suited to patios, pools and carports where strong sun exposure is a concern, and the single biggest reason to buy is the thick 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric that is lab-tested for extended UV durability. Installation is simple with proper hardware, and the sail delivers reliable coverage and color retention over time.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled material provides a sturdy, long-lasting fabric that resists tearing and sagging under regular sun exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Treated fabric resists fading and drying out, extending usable life after extensive UV testing in controlled conditions.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven material blocks the majority of harmful UV rays and noticeably reduces heat in the shaded area.
• Breathable, Water-Permeable Weave: Air and water pass through the fabric so rain does not pool and the shaded area stays ventilated.
• Reinforced Seams and Stainless D-Rings: Double layered edges and heavy stitching around stainless steel D-rings give secure anchor points for tensioned installation.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: The warranty covers normal weather and usage, offering added confidence in long term outdoor use.

Who It's For

The sail is ideal for homeowners and small businesses in sunny climates who need a robust shade solution for patios, pools, carports or play areas. Its right triangle shape and the large custom dimensions make it a good match where angled coverage is required and a durable fabric is preferred over lightweight alternatives.

Those who should look elsewhere are buyers who expect included installation hardware or who require a fully waterproof canopy; installation hardware kits are sold separately and the breathable fabric allows water to pass through rather than shed it like a coated tarp.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included and must be purchased separately for a proper setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the sail come with installation hardware?

Will the fabric block most sunlight?

Is the sail waterproof?
No, the fabric is breathable and allows water to pass through to avoid pooling, so it is not intended as a waterproof cover.
