LOVE STORY Custom Size 13ft x 13ft x 18.4ft Butter Cream Right

In this review we look at the LOVE STORY custom size right triangle shade sail and why it is a practical choice for patios, pergolas and carports. The bottom line: this shade sail is best for homeowners who need a large, single-piece sun barrier with strong UV protection and a clean look. Its biggest strength is the full-cut, non-spliced construction made from 95% UV-resistant HDPE fabric that delivers heavy sun blocking without seams that can sag or leak light.

Key Features

• Full-cut single piece: The sail is made from one unspliced panel, which gives a smoother appearance and more consistent shade performance than patchwork sails.
• High UV resistance: Constructed from 95% UV-resistant, 100% new HDPE fabric, it offers about 85%-90% shading for darker colors and 80%-85% for white.
• Stainless steel D-rings: Durable corner D-rings simplify attachment points and reduce the chance of tearing during normal use.
• Custom sizing: Available in a range of customized sizes so it can be tailored to different outdoor spaces such as decks, pools and carports.
• Accessory-ready installation: Designers recommend leaving 0.5-1 ft of extra space for hardware and note a potential 4 in tolerance between D-ring edges, which helps plan secure installs.
• Not waterproof: The breathable HDPE fabric sheds heat and UV but is not intended to provide rain protection.

Who It's For

This shade sail is ideal for homeowners who want a long-lasting, attractive sunshade for a backyard deck, pergola, poolside or carport and who plan to install mounting hardware or use professional installers. The heavy UV protection and single-piece fabric suit locations where consistent coverage and appearance matter.

It is less suitable for buyers who need a waterproof cover or who cannot leave the recommended 0.5-1 ft allowance for installation hardware. Also, if you require very precise dimensional tolerances for an irregular space, expect up to a 4 in fabric tolerance between D-ring edges and plan accordingly.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy, single-piece HDPE fabric gives a smooth look and reliable 85%-90% UV shading.
• Durable stainless steel D-rings at corners make attachment straightforward and robust.
• Custom sizes allow the sail to fit a variety of patios, pergolas, pools and carports.
• Breathable material reduces heat buildup compared with solid canopies.

Cons

• Not waterproof, so it will not keep areas dry in rain.
• Installation requires leaving 0.5-1 ft for accessories and accounts for a possible 4 in tolerance, which may complicate tight-fit installs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sail waterproof?
No. The HDPE fabric is breathable and provides sun protection but is not designed to keep out rain.

How much extra space do I need for installation?
Plan to leave about 0.5-1 ft of extra space for hardware and attachment so the sail is not oversized.

Can I expect exact dimensions?
There can be up to a 4 in tolerance between outer edges of D-rings due to fabric properties, so order with that allowance in mind.
