ColourTree Customized Black 5ft x 28ft Fence Privacy Screen - Heavy

In this review the ColourTree Customized Black 5' x 28' fence privacy screen is evaluated for homeowners and property managers who need an economical but durable privacy solution for chain link and other outdoor fences. The bottom line: it is aimed at people who want a heavy duty, UV-stable screen that blocks roughly 90% of visibility while holding up in sun and rain. The reviewer found the material, grommet placement and reinforced binding give this screen a noticeably longer service life than typical recycled options.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled material provides a sturdy, tear-resistant surface that feels heavier and more durable than thinner fence screens.
• UV stabilized compounds: Factory UV treatment and 20000 hours of lab testing mean the fabric resists fading and brittleness, helping maintain appearance and strength outdoors.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: With an actual height of 4' 9' the screen is sized to fit a standard 5 ft fence without excess material bunching or awkward trimming.
• 90% visibility blockage: The woven, breathable construction offers high privacy while still allowing air and water to pass through, reducing wind load and plant stress behind the screen.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Stainless grommets placed frequently and 3-inch reinforced binding distribute stress and make installation with included cable zip ties more secure in windy conditions.
• Multipurpose use: Besides privacy, the fabric works as shade cloth, greenhouse covering or nursery wind break, offering useful flexibility for yards and small projects.

Who It's For

This screen is best for homeowners, renters with chain link or cyclone fences, pool owners, and small property managers who want a long-lasting privacy cover without heavy maintenance. It suits anyone who prefers non-recycled, thicker HDPE for added durability and better long-term UV resistance.

People who need absolute blackout, decorative patterns, or custom colors beyond black may want to look elsewhere; likewise those needing exact 5 ft height without any trimming should account for the listed 4' 9' actual height to confirm fit for their fence posts and hung hardware.

Pros & Cons
