ColourTree Custom Size 4 ft x 17 ft Red Waterproof Sun Shade Sail

In this review the ColourTree Custom Size 4 ft x 17 ft Red Waterproof Sun Shade Sail is evaluated for homeowners and small-business owners who need a compact, effective shelter for patios, carports or garden seating areas. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a heavy 220 GSM pure polyethylene fabric and a waterproof coating that blocks sunlight and rain while staying colorfast; this makes it a practical, low-maintenance canopy alternative for areas that need reliable protection from sun and occasional rain.

Key Features

• Material: Made from 220 GSM pure virgin polyethylene fabric that provides a thick, durable barrier against wear and UV exposure for longer life.
• UV Protection: Commercial grade UV resistant treatment means the sail blocks up to 95% of UV rays and helps keep shaded surfaces cooler.
• Waterproof: A waterproof coated layer prevents water penetration so the sail sheds rain and keeps the space underneath dry during showers.
• Hardware: Each corner includes a premium grade 316 stainless steel D-ring for secure, rust-resistant attachment and easy installation.
• Seams: All edges use double reinforced stitched seams to resist tearing under tension and to protect the D-rings from pulling out.
• Warranty: A 3 year limited warranty with free replacement offers added confidence against defects or premature failure.

Who It's For

This sail suits homeowners with small to medium outdoor spaces who need reliable shade and occasional rain protection, for example above a compact patio, kids play area, or carport. It is aimed at people who prefer a ready-to-install fabric canopy that combines sun block and water resistance without heavy framing.

Those who need a very large or permanently mounted roof, a fully load-bearing carport, or a decorative transparent awning should look elsewhere; this product is best used as a flexible, fabric shelter rather than a structural replacement for a full roof.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thick 220 GSM virgin polyethylene gives a solid, durable feel and resists quick wear.
• Waterproof coating keeps water from soaking through, so it protects furniture and astroturf from light rain.
• 316 stainless steel D-rings and reinforced stitching make installation secure and long lasting.
• Three year limited warranty provides free replacement if there are problems early on.

Cons

• The custom 4 ft x 17 ft rectangle is narrow for some uses, so measure carefully before ordering.
• As a fabric sail, it is not intended as a permanent structural roof under heavy snow or extreme wind loads.
