ColourTree Custom Size 7 ft x 13 ft Red Waterproof Shade Sail

In this review of the ColourTree Custom Size 7 ft x 13 ft Red TADR0712 shade sail, the bottom line is simple: this is a heavy-duty, waterproof sun shade for homeowners who need reliable UV protection and rain coverage for patios, carports or small yards. The reviewer found the build quality and materials are the biggest reasons to buy, with the 220 GSM pure virgin polyethylene and commercial UV treatment delivering a robust, colorfast canopy that blocks sunlight and sheds water effectively.

Key Features

• Waterproof coating: The sail has a waterproof layer so it keeps water from penetrating and protects patios or astroturf beneath during rain.
• UV protection: Finished with a commercial grade UV resistant treatment that blocks up to 95% of UV, helping keep shaded areas cooler.
• Heavy fabric: Made from 220 GSM pure virgin polyethylene fabric, providing a thicker, more durable feel compared with lightweight options.
• Reinforced stitching: Double reinforced stitched seams around edges reduce tearing and extend the sail life under tension.
• 316 stainless D-rings: Premium grade stainless steel D-rings on each corner make attachment straightforward and resist corrosion outdoors.
• Warranty: A 3 year limited warranty with free replacement if not satisfied offers added confidence in the purchase.

Who It's For

This shade sail is best for homeowners and renters who want a compact, durable canopy for a patio, carport, balcony or small backyard area. It suits people who need both sun and rain coverage, and who prefer a thicker fabric and commercial grade UV treatment rather than a thin, economy sail.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers needing very large custom sails beyond the listed size, or customers who want a see-through mesh-only shade rather than a waterproof canopy. Installers unfamiliar with tensioned fabric should plan a measured installation or seek help, as proper angling and anchoring matter for performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clear water resistance that keeps the area below dry in light to moderate rain.
• Thicker 220 GSM pure virgin fabric feels durable and resists sagging under tension.
• Double stitched edges and 316 stainless D-rings increase longevity and ease installation.
• Three year limited warranty provides reassurance against defects or early wear.

Cons

• The sail is a fixed custom size and buyers must confirm fit carefully before ordering to avoid trim or extra tension needs.
• Heavy fabric requires secure anchoring and may need stronger fixtures than lightweight shades.
