ColourTree Custom Size 5ft x 5ft x 7.1ft Blue Right Triangle Shade

In this review of the ColourTree 5' x 5' x 7.1' blue right triangle shade sail, the reviewer finds it best suited for homeowners or small commercial spaces seeking a heavy duty, breathable sunshade that blocks the majority of UV. The single biggest reason to buy is the thick 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which is designed to resist fading and extend life under prolonged sun exposure while still allowing air and water to pass through.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick non-recycled material provides a firmer, more durable fabric that resists tearing compared with lower weight or recycled options.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Fabric was lab-tested for extended UV exposure and treated to reduce drying, fading and brittleness from sunlight.
• 95% UV Blockage: The tightly woven mesh dramatically reduces UV and lowers perceived temperature in the shaded area for patios or pools.
• Breathable Design: Woven fabric allows air and rain to pass through so water does not pool and it remains usable in light rain.
• Reinforced Construction: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings at each corner improve load distribution and hang points for hardware.
• Three Year Warranty: Comes with a 3 year limited warranty under normal weather and use, giving some protection against early defects.

Who It's For

This shade sail is for people who need a heavy duty, commercial-style sunshade for a patio, balcony, above-ground pool area or carport and who value material quality and UV protection. It fits buyers who prefer a breathable mesh that reduces heat rather than a solid waterproof canopy.

It is not ideal for those who need a permanently waterproof structure or who cannot provide secure fixed points or proper hardware; installation requires separate shade sail hardware and strong anchor points and buyers should plan mounting accordingly.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 190 GSM virgin HDPE material offers stronger UV endurance than recycled fabrics.
• Blocks up to 95% of harmful UV while remaining breathable and preventing water pooling.
• Reinforced edges and stainless steel D-rings make installation points sturdier when mounted correctly.
• Includes a 3 year limited warranty for added confidence in normal conditions.

Cons

• Size and fit may be a challenge for some installs; customers noted mixed experiences with dimensions and mounting needs.
• Hardware and cables are required but sold separately, so additional purchase and correct rope type are necessary for safe installation.
