ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Brown 8 ft x 17

Our review of the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen finds it best suited for homeowners or renters who want straightforward privacy and shade on balconies, patios or fences without a permanent build. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of heavy-duty, commercial grade 170 GSM material and custom sizing, which lets the product be tailored to awkward or nonstandard fence panels; custom sizes take 2 to 3 business days to manufacture. This reviewer found it delivers solid privacy and good light diffusion while remaining simple to install with the included cable zip ties.

Key Features

• Commercial Grade 170 GSM: Thicker fabric gives a durable barrier that provides privacy and reasonable wind resistance for outdoor use.
• Custom Sizes Available: Custom sizes are manufactured in 2 to 3 business days so panels can match nonstandard fence or balcony dimensions.
• Heavy Duty Construction: Designed for longer life in outdoor settings and intended to withstand regular use without sagging when properly installed.
• Cable Zip Ties Included: Comes with zip ties for a quick, tool-free installation that secures the screen to posts or slats.
• Three Year Warranty: A limited warranty provides added reassurance about material and construction for a multi-year period.

Who It's For

This privacy screen is ideal for homeowners, renters or property managers who need a practical privacy solution that can be tailored to exact fence or balcony measurements. It particularly suits people who want shade and privacy while still allowing some light through, and those who appreciate an easier installation with hardware provided.

It may not be the best choice for someone needing a fully opaque or decorative privacy wall, or for installations where reinforced grommets and heavy structural mounting are required; some customers have reported issues with eyelets after installation, so high-stress commercial mounting should consider additional reinforcement.
