ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Brown 5 ft x 14

In this review the ColourTree 5 ft x 14 ft privacy screen is evaluated for homeowners and small businesses that need a durable, practical way to add screening to chain link or wire fences. The bottom line: this screen is best for those who want a heavy duty, UV-resistant barrier that blocks about 90% of visibility and installs quickly with included cable zip ties. The review focuses on material quality, longevity under sun exposure, and real-world usefulness for privacy and garden protection.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick 170 GSM non-recycled material gives noticeably firmer coverage and a sturdier hand than thinner fence fabrics, which helps it resist sagging and wind damage.
• UV stabilized compounds: Lab-tested for long-term sun exposure, the treated fabric resists drying, tearing and fading so the screen keeps its appearance for years.
• 90% visibility blockage: The tight weave provides strong visual privacy for yards, pools and patios while remaining breathable for plants and airflow.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally plus 3 in reinforced edge binding help the screen hold up under tension and wind.
• Practical size fit: Actual height of 4 ft 9 in is designed to fit a standard 5 ft fence so the finished look is neat when trimmed to size.
• Versatile uses: It doubles as shade cloth or greenhouse protection for nurseries, pet pens and construction sites, letting water and air pass while blocking sun and view.

Who It's For

The ColourTree screen suits homeowners, renters with chain link fences, landscapers, and small commercial sites needing affordable, long-lasting privacy. Its heavy 170 GSM material and extra grommets make it a good choice where wind and sun exposure have been problems with thinner screens.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers wanting a decorative solid panel or those who need exact full 5 ft height without any trimming, since the listed actual height is 4 ft 9 in and may require adjustment to achieve a flush top edge.
