ColourTree Custom Size 5 ft x 9 ft Turquoise Waterproof Shade Sail

In this review the ColourTree 5 ft x 9 ft turquoise shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and small outdoor-space users who need reliable sun and rain protection. The single biggest reason to consider it is the combination of a heavy 220 GSM virgin polyethylene fabric with a waterproof coating, which delivers both strong water resistance and high UV blocking performance for patios, carports and yards. Installation is straightforward thanks to stainless D-rings and reinforced stitching, making it a practical canopy alternative for everyday outdoor use.

Key Features

• Material quality: The 220 GSM pure virgin non-recycled polyethylene fabric provides a thicker, more durable canopy that stands up to regular outdoor exposure.
• Waterproof coating: A waterproof layer prevents water from passing through, so the covered area stays dry during light rain and sheltered from splatter.
• UV protection: Finished with a commercial grade UV resistant treatment and UPF50 blocking to keep covered surfaces and people cooler and shielded from sun damage.
• Hardware: Each corner includes a premium grade 316 stainless steel D-ring for secure, corrosion-resistant mounting and easier, faster installation.
• Reinforced construction: Double reinforced stitched seams around all edges reduce tearing around attachment points and increase long-term reliability.
• Warranty: A 3 year limited warranty offers free replacement if the product does not meet expectations.

Who It's For

The sail is best for homeowners with small to medium outdoor areas who want a durable, waterproof shade option that also blocks a high percentage of UV; it suits patios, carports, playgrounds and artificial turf where cooler surface temperature matters. It is also a good fit for renters and DIY installers who prefer simple attachment via D-rings rather than permanent structures.

Those who need a precise custom installation with complex shapes or motorized retracting systems should look elsewhere; the product is a fixed, rectangular sail and works best when planned for conventional mounting points and straightforward tensioning.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High fabric weight and pure virgin polyethylene construction deliver notable durability and a premium feel.
• Waterproof coating reliably keeps light rain out, while also providing strong UV block protection.
• 316 stainless steel D-rings and double stitched seams reduce corrosion and tearing at stress points.

Cons

• As a fixed rectangular sail, it requires proper anchor points and tensioning; custom shapes or retractable solutions are not covered by this design.
• Color choices are fixed at purchase, so matching complex palettes may require extra planning.
