ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5 ft x 113

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is assessed for homeowners and property managers who need a robust privacy solution for chain link, cyclone or welded wire fences. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy-duty 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE construction combined with extended UV stabilization, which delivers long-lasting privacy and resists fading and tearing; the actual panel height is 4' 9' so it fits a 5 ft fence neatly and provides about 90% visibility blockage for immediate seclusion.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled material gives noticeably stronger tear resistance and a weighty feel compared with thinner windscreens.
• UV stabilized compounds: Laboratory testing of 20,000 hours demonstrates improved sun durability, helping the fabric resist drying, fading and brittleness over time.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: Measured at 4' 9', the panel is designed to align cleanly with a 5 ft fence height without excess material pooling or shortfall.
• 90% visibility blockage: The dense weave provides substantial privacy for yards, pool areas, pet enclosures and construction screening while remaining breathable.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally plus a 3 in reinforced edge help the screen hold up under wind and tension.
• Versatile shade uses: The breathable fabric also functions as a shade, greenhouse cover or windbreak, letting air and water through while blocking light and sightlines.

Who It's For

This fence screen suits homeowners with chain link or similar fences who want an affordable, durable privacy solution without replacing fencing. It is also a good match for small commercial sites, nurseries or pet enclosures where UV resistance and reinforced edges matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need an exact 5 ft tall opaque panel without any height variance or customers seeking decorative patterns rather than a solid grey privacy screen. If you require a fully solid, impermeable barrier rather than a breathable weave, a different product type is preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE gives a sturdy, long-lasting feel that customers note as durable.
• UV stabilized compound and long laboratory testing suggest greater sun resistance and reduced fading.
• Well placed stainless grommets and wide reinforced binding make installation secure and wind-resistant.
• Provides about 90% visibility blockage for effective privacy while remaining breathable for plants and pets.

Cons

• The actual height is 4' 9' so buyers expecting a full 5 ft may find a small gap at the top unless fence posts or mounting allow for it.
• As a breathable screen it is not fully opaque, so it does not provide absolute visual blackout.
