Custom 8 ft x 15 ft x 17 ft Turquoise Right Triangle Shade Sail - 190

In this review of the ColourTree custom size sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: this 8 ft x 15 ft x 17 ft turquoise right triangle is aimed at homeowners and small commercial spaces that need reliable UV protection and a durable fabric solution. The single biggest reason to buy is the heavy 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE material treated with UV stabilized compound, which the reviewer found held up to prolonged sun exposure far better than thinner recycled options while still remaining breathable and preventing water pooling.

Key Features

• 190 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric offers enhanced tear resistance and longevity after extended sun exposure compared with recycled materials.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Treated fabric resists drying, fading and brittleness, extending usable life under strong sunlight.
• 95% UV Blockage: Blocks the majority of harmful UV rays and helps reduce temperature in shaded areas for patios, pools and balconies.
• Breathable Woven Fabric: Allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and the sail remains comfortable underneath.
• Reinforced Construction: Double layered stitched seams and heavy corner stitching with stainless D-rings keep the sail square and securely attach to hardware.
• Commercial Heavy Duty: The build quality and thicker material make this suitable for higher-use installations in residential or light commercial settings.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners, pool owners and small businesses that need a tailored right triangle fit in a bold turquoise color and expect frequent sun exposure. It is especially practical for southern climates where UV resistance and fabric longevity are priorities.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers wanting an all-in-one mounting kit (hardware is sold separately) or people who require a fully waterproof canopy - this product is breathable and allows water through rather than forming a waterproof membrane.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric that resists fading and tearing under sun exposure.
• High UV protection, blocking about 95% of harmful rays to reduce heat and sun damage underneath.
• Breathable design prevents water pooling and improves comfort on hot days.
• Reinforced edges and stainless D-rings make installation secure when using proper hardware.

Cons

• Installation requires separate hardware and cable; nylon rope is not recommended and will not hold as well.
• Not a waterproof tarp - water passes through the weave, which may not suit those needing complete rain cover.
