Custom Size 6 ft x 19 ft Grey Rectangle Sun Shade Sail - UPF50

In this review the focus is a custom-size shade sail intended for patios, gardens and commercial outdoor areas; the biggest reason to consider it is its reliable sun protection and tailored fit. The reviewer found that the 200 GSM HDPE fabric blocks up to 95% of UV rays while also cutting ambient temperature by as much as 15 degrees, which makes it a practical choice for anyone wanting a cooler, safer outdoor space. It is presented as a heavy-duty, customizable canopy that aims to balance durability, performance and installation flexibility.

Key Features

• 95% UV blockage: The 200 GSM HDPE fabric provides strong sun protection that limits harmful rays for shaded areas.
• Temperature reduction: The sail noticeably lowers local temperatures by up to about 15 degrees compared with unshaded spots, improving comfort.
• Custom-fit sizing: Orders are made to measure from D-ring to D-ring so the canopy fits the intended area more precisely than off-the-shelf sails.
• Commercial standard durability: Stainless steel D-rings, reinforced edges and double-layer stitching reduce fraying and extend service life.
• Water and air permeable: The breathable weave sheds some moisture while allowing airflow, preventing a greenhouse effect under the sail.

Who It's For

This shade sail is a good match for homeowners, small businesses and landscapers who need a tailored sun canopy for patios, decks, poolside areas or outdoor seating zones. The made-to-measure approach suits irregular spaces or projects where standard sizes leave gaps or require excessive tension.

It is less suitable for those seeking a fully waterproof awning or a rigid permanent roof: while the fabric is water permeable and sheds light rain, it is designed for shade and ventilation rather than complete rain protection or structural roofing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High sun protection blocks up to 95% of UV, improving safety in sun-exposed areas.
• Material and construction are heavy duty with stainless steel D-rings and reinforced stitching for longevity.
• Custom sizing from D-ring to D-ring allows a precise fit for irregular or specific spaces.
• Permits airflow and reduces temperatures under the sail for better comfort.

Cons

• Not fully waterproof: water permeability and airflow mean it will not serve as a rainproof roof in heavy downpours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sail waterproof?
It is water and air permeable and sheds light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof roofing solution for heavy downpours.

How should I measure for a custom sail?
Measure D-ring to D-ring for the exact fit requested, and allow the recommended corner gap relative to your posts or attachments for proper tension.

What hardware is recommended for installation?
Use robust mounting kits and secure anchor points; ensure at least a 0.5 ft gap between D-rings and poles for optimal performance or adjust as advised for side reductions.
