LOVE STORY Custom Size 10ft x14ft x17.2ft Butter Cream Shade Sail

In this review the LOVE STORY Custom Size 10'x14'x17.2' Butter Cream Shade Sail is evaluated for homeowners who need a large, attractive sunshade for a patio, pergola or carport. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a full-cut, single-piece 95% UV-resistant HDPE fabric and durable stainless steel D-rings, which delivers reliable sun protection and a neat, unspliced look that holds up well in regular outdoor use.

Key Features

• 95% UV-resistant HDPE: The high density polyethylene fabric blocks most UV rays while remaining breathable to reduce heat buildup beneath the sail.
• Full cut single piece: The sail is made from one continuous piece of fabric without center splices, giving a cleaner appearance and uninterrupted shade coverage.
• Durable corner hardware: Stainless steel D-rings at each corner simplify attachment and resist corrosion for outdoor longevity.
• Customizable sizing: Multiple custom size options allow buyers to fit awkward or specific spaces, provided you leave 0.5-1 ft for accessories.
• High shading rate: The fabric offers roughly 85%-90% shading (80%-85% for white tones), providing strong sun protection for outdoor living areas.
• Accessory ready: The product includes thicker ropes and is compatible with additional LOVE STORY accessories for a secure installation.

Who It's For

This shade sail is well suited to homeowners and renters with a deck, patio, poolside area, pergola or carport who want a large, stylish sun barrier without visible center splices. It fits customers who value a breathable fabric that cuts strong UV while allowing airflow.

It is less appropriate for buyers who need full waterproof coverage or who cannot allow the recommended 0.5-1 ft of extra space for mounting hardware; also, those who prefer pre-attached mounting hardware included in the package should plan to purchase accessories separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this shade sail waterproof?
No. The fabric is breathable HDPE designed for UV shading and is not waterproof, so it will not keep out rain.

How much extra space is needed for installation?
Leave about 0.5-1 ft of space for mounting accessories to avoid an oversized fit; there can also be a tolerance of up to 4 in between D-ring outer edges.

Are mounting accessories included?
The sail comes with thicker ropes but recommended stainless or other hardware accessories are sold separately and LOVE STORY accessories are suggested for best results.
