Custom Size 8ft x 10ft x 12.8ft Red & White Stripes Sun Shade Sail

In this review the ColourTree custom size sun shade sail is evaluated for homeowners and commercial users who need strong, reliable sun protection with a bold look. The bottom line: this heavy duty, 190 GSM virgin HDPE sail is for people who want durable UV blockage and a breathable fabric that stands up to long sun exposure. Our review found it particularly useful where a tailored size and clean installation matter, and the included reinforced corners and stainless steel D-rings make it straightforward to hang when paired with proper hardware.

Key Features

• 190 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric offers increased durability and resists tearing compared with lighter, recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory UV testing up to 20,000 hours shows the material is treated to resist drying out and fading for longer life outdoors.
• 95% UV blockage: The woven fabric blocks most harmful UV rays while reducing temperatures beneath the sail for more comfortable shaded areas.
• Breathable, water-permeable weave: The mesh construction allows air and water to pass through so rain does not pool and the shaded area remains ventilated.
• Reinforced construction: Double layered stitched seams and extra heavy corner stitching with stainless steel D-rings improve load distribution and attachment strength.
• Custom size made to order: Orders are manufactured in 3-7 business days so the sail can be tailored to specific spaces and corner geometries.

Who It's For

This sun shade sail is best for homeowners, cafes, pool owners and commercial spaces needing a robust, custom-sized canopy that delivers strong UV protection and a vivid red and white stripe aesthetic. It suits people who want a long-lasting fabric that breathes and does not trap heat under the shade.

It is less suitable for buyers seeking an all-in-one kit because installation hardware is sold separately; also customers who require a lightweight temporary cover may prefer thinner, less expensive alternatives.
