Custom Size 14ft x 17ft Green Rectangle Sun Shade Sail - UPF50

In this review of the 14' x 17' green rectangle sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: it is for homeowners and small businesses who need reliable, customizable sun protection without a heavy permanent structure. The sail's biggest selling point is its combination of 95% UV blockage and durable construction, which delivers noticeable cooling and long-term wear. Installation is flexible enough for patios, play areas, or outdoor dining, and the product is clearly built to commercial standards while still being user-friendly for DIY installs.

Key Features

• 95% UV Blockage: The 200 GSM HDPE fabric blocks up to 95% of harmful UV rays, reducing sun exposure under the canopy.
• Temperature Reduction: The sail can lower ambient temperatures by up to 15 degrees compared to unshaded areas, making outdoor spaces more comfortable.
• Water and Air Permeable: The breathable weave sheds heat and allows airflow so the shaded area stays cooler and resists pooling water.
• Commercial-Grade Durability: Reinforced edges, double-layer stitching and stainless steel D-rings help the sail withstand heavy use and strong winds.
• Custom Size and Fit: The product is made to order from D-ring to D-ring so the sail can be tailored to irregular spaces and preferred tension points.
• Three-Year Assurance: The included coverage gives confidence in material and workmanship for several seasons of outdoor use.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners with patios, decks, poolside areas or play yards who want significant sun protection without rigid framing; it also fits small commercial settings like cafes or outdoor seating where a customizable canopy is needed. The made-to-order sizing and reinforced hardware make it a good pick for locations that face high sun exposure or occasional strong winds.

It is less appropriate for someone expecting a fully waterproof awning or a rigid pergola replacement; while the sail is water and air permeable and sheds some rain, it is not a solid roof. Customers who need exact off-the-shelf dimensions without customization options should look at standard, ready-made covers instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Not fully waterproof; the breathable fabric allows some water through and is not a substitute for a solid roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sail waterproof?
The fabric is water and air permeable; it sheds some rain but is not a fully waterproof roof.

How should I measure for a custom fit?
Measure from D-ring to D-ring for the final size and allow at least a 0.5 ft gap between D-rings and mounting poles for optimal performance.

Will it hold up in strong wind?
Customers report good wind performance when properly tensioned and mounted to secure anchors; reinforced edges and stainless D-rings improve resistance to high winds.
