ColourTree Custom Size Right Triangle Shade Sail 17ft x 23ft x 28.6ft

In this review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle shade sail, the bottom line is simple: this is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade sun shade for people who need reliable UV protection and durability in an outdoor shade solution. The sail is notable for its 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compound, which the reviewer found to deliver excellent sun blockage and long-term resistance to fading and tearing. If shading a patio, pool area or carport while keeping airflow and drainage, this sail is worth considering.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric provides a sturdier feel and resists thinning so the sail holds shape and resists tearing under regular sun exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Fabric treated to resist drying and fading, which extends lifespan and keeps the sail looking functional over seasons of use.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven material blocks most harmful UV rays and noticeably reduces temperature in the shaded area, useful for patios, pools, balconies and carports.
• Breathable Woven Construction: Allows air and water to pass through so there is no water pooling and ventilation remains good beneath the sail.
• Reinforced Seams and D-rings: Double layered stitched edges and stainless steel D-rings provide strong attachment points for cables and hardware, improving durability under tension.
• 3 Year Limited Warranty: Coverage under normal weather and use gives added confidence for longer outdoor deployment.

Who It's For

This sail is aimed at homeowners or small commercial operators who need a reliable permanent or semi-permanent shade solution and value long-term UV resistance. It suits anyone shading a true 90 degree corner, a poolside seating area, a patio, balcony or carport where a right triangle sail fits the available anchor points.

People who should look elsewhere include those who need quick temporary shade for a single event or those who prefer pre-packaged installation kits included with the sail. Installation requires separate hardware and proper cable choices for best results, so a buyer who wants a fully bundled set may need to purchase additional items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get installation hardware with the sail?
Installation hardware kits are sold separately; each D-ring needs one cable rope and ColourTree recommends high quality hardware and non-nylon cables.

Will the sail collect water in rain?
No, the breathable woven fabric allows water to pass through so pooling is not expected under normal installation angles.

How long will the color and material last outdoors?
The fabric is UV stabilized and lab tested for extended sun exposure; the product also carries a 3 year limited warranty under normal weather and use.
