Meet the Newest Addition to Our Natural Shade Sail Collection: The 16ft Elongated Triangle
At Coco Du Sol, every shade sail is designed to feel like a natural extension of your outdoor space. Our newest addition, the 16ft Elongated Triangle Coconut Fiber Shade Sail, introduces a long, sculptural silhouette that transforms patios, gardens, and poolside retreats into elegant, naturally cooled sanctuaries.
The first elongated triangle to be added to our collection, its shape creates sharp, structural angles and more dynamic versatile coverage while still enhancing the natural beauty of its surroundings with our signature Coco Du Sol handwoven design.
Triangle Shade Sails in Outdoor Design
Triangle shade sails are beloved for their flexibility. With only three anchor points, they adapt to irregular layouts, compact spaces, or layered installations where rectangular sails may not complement the space as well. The 16ft design creates a longer line than our 12ft Triangle Shade, introducing more dramatic angles and physical reach.
Whether you want to soften a sunny patio, frame a dining area with dappled light, or overlap multiple sails for an artistic effect, triangles bring dynamic movement to outdoor spaces. They are celebrated in architecture and design for their stability and versatility. As Yellowtrace notes, triangles create bold yet adaptable forms that bring energy and structure to design.
Styling Ideas for Homeowners and Gardeners
-
Over Patios
Angle the elongated triangle across a patio lounge or dining area to create sculptural shade that filters sunlight providing soft, natural light without darkening the space.
-
Poolside Retreats
Stretch the 16ft triangle between posts or trees to define a breezy poolside retreat, casting cooling shade over lounge chairs while keeping the area open to light and air.
-
Garden Nooks
Use the sail to carve out a shaded garden nook, perfect for reading or morning coffee, with soft filtered light and an organic look and feel that blends naturally into the landscape.
-
Layered Designs
Overlap the 16ft and 12ft Triangle Shade Sail at different angles to create an architectural pattern of dappled shade, perfect for larger patios or garden gatherings.
-
Courtyard Accents
Install the elongated triangle across narrow courtyards to draw the eye upward and create striking architectural shade. This makes it especially useful for smaller urban gardens or modern courtyards where space is limited but design impact matters.
-
Outdoor Dining Pavilions
Combine two or more triangle sails to create a pavilion-style effect over long dining tables, perfect for entertaining in style.
The Coco Du Sol Difference
Like every Coco Du Sol shade sail, the 16ft Elongated Triangle is:
- Crafted from 100% natural coconut fiber, sourced from small farms in Java, Indonesia
- Naturally weather and rot-resistant, quick-drying, and resilient to the elements
- Woven with an open texture that allows air to flow in and heat to escape while filtering sunlight into a soft, patterned shade
- Reinforced with secure anchor loops for reliable installation
Pair it with our Coconut Fiber Rope for a seamless, natural finish or combine with aircraft cable and turnbuckles for added strength.
Coconut Fiber: Naturally Durable, Environmentally Responsible
Coconut fiber (coir) is known for its natural strength and longevity. Its high lignin content makes it elastic, resistant to rotting, and capable of withstanding outdoor conditions, according to ScienceDirect. This makes it an ideal material for outdoor use, especially shade sails, offering durable coverage while reducing reliance on synthetic, plastic-based alternatives that trap heat and contribute to pollution.
Beyond strength, coir is recognized as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic-based materials. As Coir.com highlights, it is renewable, compostable in certain forms, and widely used in gardens and outdoor applications as a sustainable substitute that reduces plastic waste.
