Custom Size 17ft x 20ft Red Rectangle Sun Shade Sail - UPF50

In this review of the Amgo custom size 17' x 20' red rectangle sun shade sail, the bottom line is simple: this is a heavy-duty, customizable canopy for anyone who needs strong sun protection and a tailored fit. The reviewer found it best for patios, playgrounds, and commercial outdoor areas where UV blockage, durability, and reduced temperatures matter most. It stands out because the 200 GSM HDPE fabric blocks up to 95% of UV rays while remaining water and air permeable, delivering a reliably cooler shaded space.

Key Features

• 95% UV blockage: The 200 GSM HDPE material is designed to block up to 95% of harmful UV rays for safer outdoor use.
• Temperature reduction: In shaded areas the sail can lower ambient temperature by as much as 15 degrees compared with direct sun, making outdoor time more comfortable.
• Commercial grade durability: Stainless steel D-Rings and reinforced edges with double-layer stitching help resist fraying and heavy use.
• Customizable fit: Measured from D-ring to D-ring, the sail can be ordered to match specific dimensions and edge preferences for a tailored install.
• Water and air permeable: The fabric sheds some water while allowing airflow, reducing wind load and pooling during light rain.
• 3-year assurance: The product includes a 3-year assurance, offering extra confidence in long-term performance.

Who It's For

This shade sail is aimed at homeowners and facility managers who need a robust, customizable shade solution for patios, play areas, or outdoor seating. It is especially useful where high UV protection and temperature reduction are priorities and where a tailored measurement from D-ring to D-ring matters to achieve a neat fit.

People who want a temporary, lightweight awning for very small balcony spaces or those seeking a fully waterproof canopy that keeps all rain out should look elsewhere. Also, if you want a pre-cut universal size with no customization option, a stock sail may be more convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the sail waterproof?
Answer. The fabric is water and air permeable, so it sheds some water but is not fully waterproof for complete rain protection.

How should I measure for a custom size?
Answer. Measure from D-ring to D-ring for each side; allow a corner gap of at least 0.5 ft between D-ring and pole or adjust by 1 to 1.5 ft per side as instructed.

How durable is the hardware?
Answer. The sail uses stainless steel D-Rings and reinforced, double-stitched edges for enhanced durability and resistance to fraying.
