ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Black 5 ft x 21

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is judged mainly on durability and privacy. It is aimed at homeowners and property managers who need a robust, long-lasting privacy solution for chain link or welded wire fences. The biggest reason to buy is the material: a commercial grade 170 GSM, 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compounds that the maker says survived extended lab UV testing, making it a good pick for sun-exposed yards and pool enclosures.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric offers stronger tensile strength and should resist tearing better than thinner recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: The screen has been lab tested for long UV exposure and is formulated to resist drying out, fading and brittleness.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: The real height is 4 ft 9 in so it fits neatly on a 5 ft fence without excess material flapping above the top rail.
• High privacy blockage: The weave is designed to block roughly 90% of visibility, making it effective at screening neighbors, streets and construction views.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Stainless copper grommets placed frequently with 3 in binding around edges improve wind performance and make secure installation easier.
• Versatile uses: Breathable weaving allows water and air through, so it can double as shade cloth for gardens, kennels or temporary construction screening.

Who It's For

This fence screen suits homeowners, landlords and commercial sites that want a practical privacy barrier that will not look sun-damaged after a season. It is especially useful for chain link and welded wire fences around yards, pools, pet pens and construction areas where a durable, economical cover is needed.

It is less appropriate for someone seeking complete blackout coverage or decorative fabric with heavy patterns; the product prioritizes durability and privacy rather than ornamental detail. Also, buyers who need exact 5 ft height without any shortfall should note the actual height is 4 ft 9 in and plan installation accordingly.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-constructed material that customers report holds up in rain and wind, delivering good long-term value.
• Effective privacy with about 90% visibility blockage, making it a practical screen for backyard and pool areas.
• Frequent stainless grommets and reinforced binding make installation with cable zip ties sturdy and reduce edge tearing.

Cons

• Actual height is 4 ft 9 in, so it will sit slightly below the very top of a nominal 5 ft fence unless adjusted.
• Not a decorative textile option for people wanting patterned or opaque panels; it is a functional privacy screen.
