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

Our review of the 14' x 17' Turquoise Rectangle Sun Shade Sail finds it best for homeowners and small businesses who need reliable sun protection and a cooler outdoor space without a permanent structure. The single biggest reason to buy is the balance of heavy-duty construction and customizable fit: made from 200 GSM HDPE fabric with reinforced edges and stainless steel D-Rings, it blocks up to 95% of UV rays while remaining water and air permeable so patios, play areas, and outdoor seating stay cooler and ventilated.

Key Features

• 95% UV blockage: The 200 GSM HDPE fabric blocks up to 95% of harmful UV rays for safer outdoor time and reduced sun exposure.
• Temperature reduction: Its shade cuts ambient temperature by up to 15 degrees compared to an unshaded area, making hot patios more comfortable.
• Durable construction: Reinforced edges, double-layer stitching and stainless steel D-Rings improve longevity and resist fraying under regular use.
• Water and air permeable: The canopy sheds some water while allowing airflow, preventing heat buildup and reducing wind strain on the mounting points.
• Customizable fit: The sail is made to measured D-ring to D-ring dimensions so it can be tailored to nonstandard spaces or straight edge preferences on request.
• Commercial standard: Built to heavier duty commercial standards and supplied with a 3 year assurance for longer-term peace of mind.

Who It's For

This shade sail suits homeowners, cafes, and small commercial properties that need a flexible, semi-permanent canopy to reduce sun and heat over patios, playgrounds, or outdoor dining. People who value color options and material quality will appreciate the turquoise option that is less intrusive than darker sails.

Those who need a rigid, fully waterproof awning or a hardtop pergola should look elsewhere; this product is water and air permeable by design and works best as a breathable shade solution rather than a watertight cover.

Pros & Cons
