ColourTree Custom Size Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail 13ft x 17ft x UV

In this review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: it is aimed at homeowners and light commercial users who need a durable, high-blocking shade that stands up to sun exposure. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is the thick 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the brand says was laboratory-tested for long-term sunlight exposure. If you want a breathable fabric that reduces temperature and blocks the majority of UV, this shade sail addresses that need directly.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: A thicker, non-recycled fabric that is designed to be stronger and resist degradation under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compound: The material has undergone extensive UV testing and is treated to resist drying, tearing and fading for extended outdoor life.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV rays and reduces sunlight and heat in the shaded area for patios, pools, and carports.
• Breathable woven construction: Air and water pass through the mesh so there is no pooling after rain and the shade stays cooler than solid canopies.
• Reinforced edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings improve attachment strength and resist fraying at mounting points.
• 3 year limited warranty: The product includes a warranty that covers normal weather and usage for additional buyer confidence.

Who It's For

This shade sail is best for homeowners with patios, balconies, above-ground pools, or carports who want a robust, breathable shade option that prioritizes UV protection and material longevity. It suits people comfortable sourcing a separate hardware kit and using cable ropes to install the triangular sail between poles, walls or trees.

It is less suitable for buyers who need an all-in-one kit with mounting hardware included or those who expect a lightweight temporary cover for occasional use; customers seeking guarantees against extreme storm damage should consider more permanent shade structures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-density 190 GSM virgin HDPE offers stronger fabric and improved resistance to sun damage compared to recycled alternatives.

• Three year limited warranty provides added assurance under normal use.

Cons

• Hardware kits are sold separately, so buyers must purchase compatible cables and fittings and avoid nylon rope as advised.
