ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5 ft x 145

In this review of the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen, the bottom line is clear: this is a practical, heavy duty privacy solution for homeowners and property managers who need a durable cover for a 5 ft fence. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is the fabric quality - made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds - which delivers long lasting privacy without the brittle fading common to recycled materials. Installation is straightforward and the product comes with reinforced grommets and cable zip ties so it is ready to fit a variety of fence types.

Key Features

• 170 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides a sturdy, tear-resistant barrier that holds up under weather exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Lab tested for extended sun exposure so the fabric resists drying, tearing and fading compared to recycled alternatives.
• Designed Height: Actual height is 4 ft 9 in so it fits neatly on a 5 ft fence without excess material dragging or needing adjustment.
• Privacy Performance: Blocks approximately 90% of visibility, making it effective for screening yards, pools, kennels and construction areas.
• Reinforced Edges and Grommets: Stainless copper grommets placed at corners and every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally with 3 in binding help the screen withstand wind.
• Multiuse Shade: Breathable weave allows air and water through, so it also works as a greenhouse shade or wind break for plants.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is best for homeowners, landscapers and small property owners who want a cost effective way to add privacy to a chain link, cyclone wire or welded wire fence without replacing the fence itself. It is particularly well suited to pools, pet enclosures, backyard patios and garden boundaries where a near-complete visual block is desired.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need a perfectly opaque, solid vinyl barrier or who require custom printed branding on the fabric; this product is a breathable, woven HDPE screen designed for concealment and longevity rather than absolute opacity or graphics.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE resists sun damage and lasts longer than recycled material alternatives.
• Effective 90% visibility blockage provides real privacy for yards, pools and kennels.
• Well-positioned stainless grommets and reinforced binding simplify installation and improve wind resistance.

Cons

• Actual height is 4 ft 9 in, so buyers expecting a full 5 ft of solid coverage should allow for the fit and plan accordingly.
• As a woven, breathable fabric it is not fully opaque, so it will not provide a completely solid visual barrier in every lighting condition.
