ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Black 5 ft x

Our review of the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen finds it best for homeowners and property managers who need a durable, high-opacity privacy solution for chain link and similar fences. The single biggest reason to buy is the material: this screen uses 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds that lab testing shows resists sun damage far better than recycled alternatives, so it lasts longer without drying, tearing, or fading while still allowing air and water to pass through.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides stronger tear resistance and a heavier feel than typical fence screens.
• UV stabilized compounds: Fabric treated to resist fading and degradation after extended sun exposure, extending useful life outdoors.
• 90% visibility blockage: High privacy rating makes it effective at obscuring views along chain link fences, pools, patios, and yards.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally plus 3 in binding on edges increase wind resistance and fastener stability.
• Multiple uses: Breathable weaving works as shade, greenhouse covering, wind block for nurseries, or kennel shading while allowing drainage and airflow.
• 3 year limited warranty: Brand-backed warranty and free consultation offer added assurance for normal use and weather exposure.

Who It's For

The ColourTree screen is ideal for anyone who wants a long-lasting privacy barrier on a 5 ft fence without replacing the fence itself. It suits homeowners with backyards, pool areas, or pet enclosures, and property managers who need economical concealment for construction sites, storage yards, or landscaping projects.

It may be less attractive for buyers who need full, non-porous windproof or soundproof barriers; because the fabric is breathable to allow water and air through, it will not create a totally sealed windbreak or acoustic block. Also, those wanting custom printed graphics should look elsewhere since this product focuses on heavy-duty plain privacy screening.
