ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Green 5 ft x

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is evaluated for homeowners and property managers who need a durable, high-coverage privacy solution for chain link or welded wire fences. The bottom line: this screen stands out because it is made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, so it resists fading, tearing and brittle degradation far better than recycled alternatives while blocking about 90% of visibility. The package and construction aim to make installation straightforward and to hold up in outdoor exposure without frequent replacement.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: A thicker, non-recycled fabric that provides greater tear resistance and longevity under sun exposure compared with recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory-tested for extended UV life so the material resists fading and drying out after prolonged outdoor use.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: The true height measures 4 ft 9 in so it fits neatly on fences sold as 5 ft without excess or awkward gaps.
• High privacy coverage: The woven fabric blocks about 90% of visibility, making it useful to screen yards, pools, pet areas and construction perimeters.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Stainless binding and multiple copper grommets placed about 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally improve wind resistance and attachment strength.
• Multipurpose breathable weave: Allows water and air to pass, so it can be used as shade cloth, greenhouse cover or plant wind block without trapping moisture.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is ideal for homeowners, landscapers and small-property managers who want a long-lasting privacy barrier for chain link fences, pet enclosures or pool areas and who value UV stability and thicker material. It suits anyone replacing thin, shredded covers and those who prefer a product with reinforced grommets for windy locations.

It is less appropriate for users who need complete blackout (this product is ~90% blockage, not opaque), or for those who require custom heights beyond the supplied dimensions without trimming or additional fastening. Also, if absolute decorative detail is the priority over durability, a decorative panel might be preferred.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE provides notable durability and resistance to tearing.
• Extensive UV testing and stabilizers reduce fading and material brittleness over time.
• Generous grommet placement and reinforced 3 in binding make installation secure in wind.
• Breathable weave keeps plants healthy while offering strong privacy coverage.

Cons

• Height is 4 ft 9 in which fits 5 ft fences but may need trimming or adjustment for other sizes.
• Not fully opaque; if total visual blackout is required, a solid panel is a better choice.
