ColourTree Custom Size Right Triangle Sun Shade Sail 13ft x 20ft x

In this review of the ColourTree custom size right triangle sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: it is best for homeowners or small businesses who need a robust, breathable canopy that blocks sun without trapping heat. The reviewer found the sail's single biggest strength to be its 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric, which combines proven UV stability with breathable construction so shaded areas stay cooler and dry quickly after rain. Installation requires separate hardware, but the finished canopy performs like a heavy-duty, long-lasting shade solution.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric is engineered for durability and resisted fading and tearing during extended sun exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory testing and additive treatment reduce material breakdown so the sail keeps color and strength longer.
• 95% UV Blockage: The woven fabric cuts most harmful UV and noticeably reduces sunlight and temperature under the canopy.
• Breathable Weave: Air and water pass through the mesh so there is no pooling after rain and the shaded area stays ventilated.
• Reinforced Edges and D-rings: Double layered stitched seams and stainless steel D-rings provide secure anchoring and resist fraying at stress points.
• Three Year Warranty: A limited warranty covers normal weather and usage, offering buyer confidence in the product lifespan.

Who It's For

This shade sail is ideal for homeowners with patios, pools, balconies or carports who want a long-lasting, UV-protective canopy that still breathes. It fits people who value color and functionality and who can provide secure anchor points such as poles, walls or sturdy trees and are willing to buy separate installation hardware.

It is less suitable for someone who wants a fully waterproof awning or who needs an out-of-the-box mounting kit included; installation requires proper cables and shade sail hardware and the recommendation is to avoid nylon rope for long-term tensioned use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent sun protection thanks to 95% UV blockage, keeping shaded areas noticeably cooler.
• Sturdy construction with 190 GSM virgin HDPE and reinforced seams that reduce fraying and extend service life.
• Breathable mesh avoids water pooling and improves ventilation compared with solid canopies.
• Stainless steel D-rings and strong stitching simplify anchoring for a secure installation when proper hardware is used.

Cons

• Installation hardware is sold separately, so buyers must plan for cables and anchors; nylon rope is not recommended.
• The product is not a solid waterproof cover, so it will not provide complete protection in heavy storms.
