ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 4 ft x 171

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen proved to be a practical privacy solution for homeowners and renters who want strong, low-maintenance screening without rebuilding a fence. The biggest reason to buy is its commercial grade 170 GSM virgin HDPE construction, which makes the fabric noticeably thicker and more UV resistant than recycled alternatives, so it holds up well to sun and weather while still allowing air and water to pass through.

Key Features

• 170 GSM Virgin HDPE: The heavy duty 100% virgin material offers better tear resistance and longevity compared to recycled options, reducing wear under constant sun exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compounds: Tested for prolonged UV exposure, the fabric resists drying out, fading and tearing so the privacy screen keeps its look for years.
• Actual Height for 4 ft Fences: The product measures 3 ft 10 in actual height so it fits neatly on a 4 ft fence without excess material flapping below the top rail.
• High Privacy Coverage: The woven, porous fabric blocks roughly 90% of visibility, making it effective for yards, pool perimeters and kennel areas while still allowing airflow.
• Reinforced Edges and Grommets: Reinforced 3 in binding and stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally help the screen stay secure in windier conditions.
• Inclusive Hardware and Warranty: Cable zip ties are included for installation and the product carries a limited 3 year warranty under normal use.

Who It's For

This fence screen suits homeowners, renters, and property managers who need a cost effective privacy barrier over chain link, welded wire or cyclone fences, or who want a breathable shade for plant nurseries and kennels. It is particularly useful where a full privacy fence is impractical or too expensive.

Those needing a fully opaque visual block or a decorative wood fence replacement should look elsewhere; this product is a high-privacy, breathable fabric rather than a solid panel and is designed for retrofit applications on existing fences.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 170 GSM virgin HDPE resists UV damage and lasts longer than recycled alternatives.
• Good privacy with about 90% visibility blockage while remaining breathable for plants and pets.
• Strong reinforcement: stainless grommets and wide binding reduce tearing and make mounting easier.
• Includes cable zip ties and backed by a limited 3 year warranty for normal use.

Cons

• Not fully opaque, so it provides heavy concealment rather than a solid visual barrier for those needing complete privacy.
• Actual height is 3 ft 10 in, so exact fit matters if fence top or bottom clearance is tight.
