8 ft x 170 ft Custom Gray Privacy Screen Fence Cover - Heavy Duty

In this review of the 8 ft x 170 ft Custom Size Gray Privacy Screen from SHADEWIZ, the bottom line is simple: this heavy duty fencing mesh is for homeowners and renters who need fast, effective privacy and sun protection on an existing fence. The reviewer found the product especially useful for long runs where a near-solid visual barrier matters, and installation is straightforward with included zip ties and grommets. Its mix of high blockage and UV resistance makes it a practical choice for patios, pool areas, and backyard railings.

Key Features

• Custom sizing: The cover is made to order in the USA so buyers can get a precise fit for odd-length runs or specific fence heights.
• High privacy: Constructed from virgin polyethylene, the material provides about 90% visibility blockage for stronger screening.
• UV protection: The fabric is treated with a UV-resistant compound that blocks up to 97% of UV rays, protecting shaded areas and reducing sun exposure.
• Simple installation: Grommets are spaced along each side and come with zip ties for quick attachment to railings or chain link without special tools.
• Durable construction: The binding is double stitched in black and grommets are reinforced to stand up to outdoor use.
• Warranty and support: A 3-Year Limited Warranty and the option to request custom sizes down to the inch provide reassurance for long runs.

Who It's For

This cover suits homeowners, renters, and property managers who want a long, continuous privacy screen for decks, patios, pool fences, or backyard railings and who need a heavy duty, UV-resistant fabric. It is especially fitting when a near-solid visual barrier and strong sun protection are priorities.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking decorative, ornate fencing panels or a fully opaque solid fence; this product is a mesh screen with a utilitarian appearance, and a small number of customers noted mixed reactions to how it looks.
