ColourTree Custom Size 7ft x 11ft x 13ft Black Right Triangle Sun

In this review of the ColourTree Custom Size 7' x 11' x 13' Black Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail, the bottom line is straightforward: this is for anyone who needs a heavy duty, UV resistant triangular canopy for patios, pools or carports. The reviewer found the sail's single biggest advantage is its 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which delivers noticeably thicker, more durable material and substantial sun protection compared with recycled alternatives.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: The thicker non-recycled fabric provides a sturdier feel and resists tearing better than lighter recycled sails.
• UV stabilized compound: Lab testing up to long hours shows improved resistance to drying, fading and degradation in sun exposure.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV, reducing heat and sunlight in the shaded area for patios, pools and balconies.
• Breathable design: The weave allows air and water to pass through, avoiding water pooling and improving comfort under the canopy.
• Reinforced edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings give secure attachment points for cable and hardware.
• 3 year warranty: A limited warranty under normal use provides added peace of mind for outdoor installations.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners and small business owners who want a commercial-grade fabric for semi-permanent outdoor shading: think patios, above-ground pools, carports, terraces and playground corners where a durable triangular sail is practical. It is particularly useful when a breathable fabric that reduces heat and prevents water pooling is desired.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need a precise off-the-shelf size different from this 7' x 11' x 13' right triangle or who want a fully waterproof canopy; this sail is breathable and allows water through. Also, installation hardware is sold separately, so novice installers who prefer a complete kit in one box may prefer a different package.
