ColourTree Custom Size 9 ft x 11 ft x 14.2 ft Right Triangle Shade

In this review of the ColourTree custom right triangle shade sail, the bottom line is simple: it is aimed at homeowners and light commercial users who need durable, effective sun protection in a true 90 corner or open area. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric: a 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE mesh treated with a UV stabilized compound that the maker says endured 20000 hours of UV testing and resists fading and drying. For those who want strong UV blockage and a breathable canopy that will last longer than recycled alternatives, this shade sail is a practical choice.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric provides a sturdy feel and improved long-term durability compared to recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Fabric treated to resist drying, tearing and fading, which helps extend useful life under strong sun exposure.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven mesh blocks most harmful UV rays and reduces temperature under the canopy for patio and poolside comfort.
• Breathable construction: The weave allows air and water to pass through so rainwater does not pool and shaded spaces stay ventilated.
• Reinforced edges and hardware: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings at each corner improve attachment strength and prevent fraying.
• Commercial heavy duty build: Designed for higher wear situations and backed by a 3 year limited warranty for normal weather and usage.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners with patios, balconies, carports or pools who want a long-lasting canopy that blocks the majority of UV and reduces heat. It is also a good fit for small businesses or cafes needing a commercial heavy duty fabric that stands up to sun exposure without looking worn quickly.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who want a fully waterproof awning (this is breathable mesh, not solid waterproof material) or people who need integrated installation hardware; the sail requires separately sold cable and kit hardware for proper mounting and long-term safety.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE provides notable durability and a robust hand feel.
• Blocks up to 95% of UV while remaining breathable, so shaded areas are cooler and ventilated.
• Reinforced stitched edges and stainless steel D-rings make attachments stronger and reduce fraying.

Cons

• Installation hardware is not included and buyers must choose suitable cable kits; incorrect rope types can fail.
• As a mesh fabric it is not fully waterproof, so it will not create a dry shelter in heavy rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this sail block most UV?
The woven fabric is rated to block about 95% of harmful UV and will noticeably reduce sunlight and heat under the sail.

Is the sail waterproof?
No, this is a breathable mesh designed to allow water and air through so it will not hold pooled water but it does not provide a fully dry shelter in heavy rain.

Are mounting kits included?
No, installation hardware is sold separately and each D-ring requires a cable; avoid nylon rope and use recommended shade sail hardware for best results.
