ColourTree Custom Size 7 ft x 13 ft x 14.8 ft Right Triangle Shade

Our review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle shade sail finds it best suited for homeowners and small businesses who need a heavy duty, long-lasting sun cover for patios, pools or carports. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric: a dense 190 GSM, 100% virgin HDPE mesh treated with UV stabilized compound that noticeably reduces heat and blocks sun without trapping moisture. Installation requires separate hardware, but once tensioned the sail performs as a sturdy, lowmaintenance shade solution.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric offers stronger tear resistance and longer life under sun exposure compared to recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory-tested material resists drying, tearing and fading so the sail keeps its shape and color for longer.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven mesh blocks most harmful UV rays and reduces temperature beneath the canopy for more comfortable outdoor use.
• Breathable, water-permeable weave: The fabric allows air and water to pass through, preventing ponding in rain while maintaining sun protection.
• Reinforced construction: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings at corners provide reliable anchor points for a taut installation.
• 3 year warranty: A limited warranty covers normal weather and usage, offering extra reassurance on longevity.

Who It's For

This shade sail is ideal for people who want a durable, commercial-weight canopy for patios, balconies, swimming pool areas or carports where strong sun protection and breathability matter. It fits users who can plan a custom-fit triangle and arrange proper mounting points like poles or walls and who will purchase compatible installation hardware separately.

It is less suitable for those who need a ready-to-install complete kit; hardware and cables are sold separately and nylon rope is not recommended. Also, if you require a temporary, lightweight sunshade for occasional low-wind use, a lighter gauge or pre-mounted umbrella might be easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the sail include mounting hardware?
No. The shade sail ships without installation kits; steel cables or recommended hardware must be bought separately for secure mounting.

Will it prevent rain from leaking through?
The woven fabric is breathable and allows water to pass through to avoid pooling, but it is not waterproof so light rain will pass through the mesh.

How long does the UV protection last?
The fabric has been UV laboratory tested and treated for stabilization; it is designed to resist fading and degradation and comes with a 3 year limited warranty under normal use.
