ColourTree Custom Size 17ft x 24ft x 29.4ft Beige Right Triangle Sun

In this review of the ColourTree Custom Size Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail, the bottom line is clear: this is a practical choice for homeowners and small commercial spaces that need dependable UV protection and durable construction. The sail's biggest selling point is the heavy 190 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the reviewer found stood up well under bright sun and offered substantial cooling and UV reduction in shaded areas.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric provides a more durable feel and resists tearing and fraying compared with typical recycled blends.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory-tested UV treatment helps prevent fading and material breakdown so the sail keeps its appearance and strength over time.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV rays and noticeably lowers temperature under the shade during hot afternoons.
• Breathable Design: The mesh weave lets air and water pass through, avoiding water pooling and improving comfort on warm, humid days.
• Reinforced Seams and D-rings: Double layered stitched edges and stainless steel D-rings provide secure anchoring points for robust installation.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: Manufacturer warranty covers normal use, giving additional confidence for outdoor installations.

Who It's For

This shade sail is best for homeowners with patios, pools, carports or balconies who need a large right triangle shade and prefer a high-density, non-recycled fabric that resists sun damage. It suits small commercial settings such as cafe patios or playgrounds where a heavy-duty, long-lasting cover is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking a full hardware kit included in the purchase or people who need a very lightweight, temporary cover - installation hardware is sold separately and a proper cable kit is recommended for secure mounting.
