Description
xColourTree 14' x 14' Grey Sun Shade Sail is a heavy-duty, breathable HDPE canopy that blocks up to 95% of UV while allowing water and air to pass through for long-lasting outdoor sun protection.
Built from 190 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV-stabilized compound, this square 14' x 14' sun sail is designed for patios, pools, carports, balconies and other outdoor living spaces. The fabric resists fading and tearing after extended sun exposure, and reinforced edges with stainless steel D-rings allow secure installation to existing posts, trees or walls. ColourTree also offers custom sizing and a three-year product support service for added peace of mind.
How does this shade sail reduce heat and UV exposure?
The woven HDPE fabric is engineered to block up to 95% of harmful ultraviolet rays while still remaining breathable. That means lower surface temperatures under the canopy without trapping hot air, making shaded areas more comfortable during sunny days.
- 95% UV blockage rated fabric (UPF50 equivalent)
- Breathable weave lets air circulate to reduce heat buildup
- Water-permeable design prevents rain pooling
- 190 GSM weight for robust sunlight filtration
What makes the material and construction durable?
This sail uses 100% virgin HDPE rather than recycled blends, and the polymer has been UV-stabilized and laboratory-tested for prolonged outdoor performance. Heavy double-layered seams, extra stitching at corners and stainless steel D-rings strengthen attachment points and reduce fraying or deforming over time.
- Virgin HDPE resists drying, tearing and fading
- Tested for extended UV exposure to extend lifespan
- Reinforced stitched seams prevent edge fray
- Stainless steel D-rings with heavy stitching at each corner
How do I install and maintain the ColourTree shade sail?
Installation requires separate mounting hardware and cable ropes; each D-ring needs one cable connection. For best results use high-quality shade sail hardware (recommended ColourTree kits) and avoid nylon rope. Maintenance is minimal — the breathable fabric sheds water and dirt, so regular inspections and occasional rinsing are usually sufficient.
- Hardware kits sold separately; cables recommended for each D-ring
- Avoid nylon ropes — use marine-grade cable or approved hardware
- Periodic checks of tension and attachment points extend service life
- Rinse with water to remove dust; no special cleaners required
Can I get other sizes or support if I need help?
Yes — ColourTree offers customized sizing and a three-year product support service to assist with fit and performance questions. If you need a different shape or size for an irregular area, the team can advise on measurements and recommend mounting options.
- Custom sizes available on request for non-standard areas
- Three-year product support for installation and warranty questions
- Customer guidance on compatible hardware and layout options
