ColourTree Custom Size Green Right Triangle Shade Sail 17ft x 24ft x

In this review the reviewer tested the ColourTree custom size right triangle shade sail to see if it delivers durable sun protection for patios, pools and carports. The bottom line: this 190 GSM, 100% virgin HDPE fabric blocks a large portion of UV and stands up to regular outdoor use better than many recycled-mix sails, so it is worth considering for anyone who needs a breathable, heavy duty canopy that resists fading and reduces temperature under the shade.

Key Features

• Virgin 190 GSM HDPE: The thicker, non-recycled fabric is designed to resist tearing and fading and is claimed to be more durable under sun exposure after extended UV testing.
• UV stabilized compound: The material is treated to avoid drying out and degradation, which helps the sail keep shape and colour over time.
• 95% UV blockage: The tightly woven mesh cuts most harmful UV and noticeably reduces sunlight and heat in the shaded area.
• Breathable, water-permeable weave: Air and rain pass through the fabric to prevent water pooling while still providing effective sun protection.
• Reinforced edges and stainless D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and heavy stitching around D-rings improve attachment strength for mounting to poles or walls.
• 3 year limited warranty: The sail includes a warranty that covers normal weather use for added buyer confidence.

Who It's For

The ColourTree right triangle shade sail is best for homeowners and small commercial sites needing a large, custom-sized canopy for patios, pools, balconies or carports where breathability and UV protection matter. It suits installers who can attach the corners to strong anchors such as poles, trees or walls using a separate hardware kit.

People looking for a temporary, lightweight sun cover or those unable to provide sturdy anchor points should look elsewhere, and buyers who expect a lifetime product should note the warranty and mixed user reports about durability under extreme conditions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-density 190 GSM virgin HDPE offers stronger fabric feel and resistance to UV damage.
• Breathable mesh design blocks most UV while allowing air and rain through to avoid pooling.
• Heavy double-stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings make mounting more reliable when paired with proper hardware.

Cons

• Installation hardware is sold separately, and poor rope choices can lead to failures if not fitted correctly.
• Some customers report mixed long-term durability, so heavy exposure sites should monitor wear.
