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

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is judged on durability, privacy and fit for tall fences. It is aimed at homeowners and property managers who need a heavy duty, long-lasting privacy barrier for chain link or welded wire fences; the single biggest reason to buy is the material - a commercial grade 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE that is UV stabilized and tested for extended sun exposure, which means it resists fading and tearing better than recycled alternatives. The actual height is 7 ft 9 in so it fits an 8 ft fence without trimming and installation includes reinforced grommets and binding for wind resistance.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled fabric provides a robust barrier that stands up to sun and wear better than lower grade materials.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory testing shows improved longevity under sun exposure, helping prevent drying, tearing and color loss.
• Actual fit for 8 ft fences: The true height of 7 ft 9 in is designed to cover 8 ft fence posts without awkward trimming or gaps.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Multiple stainless copper grommets and 3 in reinforced binding across all edges make mounting neater and more wind resistant.
• High privacy blockage: The weave blocks approximately 90% of visibility while remaining breathable to allow air and water through.
• Versatile shading uses: Can double as garden shade cloth, greenhouse cover or kennel privacy, offering sun protection with low maintenance.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is a sensible choice for homeowners, landscapers and property owners who need a near-opaque privacy screen for chain link, cyclone wire or welded wire fences and who value a durable material that will resist UV damage over time. It is particularly useful when a tight, consistent fit on an 8 ft fence is required and when rustproof grommets and reinforced edges matter for installation longevity.

It is less appropriate for buyers who need decorative patterns, complete blackout privacy, or who prefer cheaper recycled material options to save on upfront cost. Also, if very high wind exposure is expected in an open site, additional fastening and wind planning is advisable despite the reinforced mounting.
