ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5 ft x 172

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is judged as a practical, heavy duty privacy option for homeowners and property managers who want a long-lasting, economical cover for chain link and other wire fences. The single biggest reason to buy is the material quality: this fence screen is made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, which the brand says was lab tested for long sun exposure and resists drying, tearing and fading much better than recycled alternatives.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric provides a stronger, more tear-resistant barrier than typical recycled fence screens.
• UV stabilized compounds: Material treated to resist sun damage so the fabric holds color and strength after prolonged outdoor exposure.
• Actual height of 4' 9": Sized to fit neatly on a 5 ft fence while avoiding overhang that can snag or flap excessively in wind.
• 90% visibility blockage: Dense weave offers substantial privacy for yards, pools, patios and kennel enclosures while still allowing airflow.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets placed at corners and at regular intervals plus 3-inch reinforced edge binding improve wind handling and mounting durability.
• Versatile outdoor uses: Breathable fabric works as shade cloth, greenhouse cover, or wind break for garden and nursery areas without trapping moisture.

Who It's For

This fence screen is aimed at homeowners, landscapers and small commercial sites that need an affordable privacy solution that lasts. It is especially useful for those covering chain link fences, pool perimeters, pet kennels or construction screens where a high degree of visibility blockage and weather resistance matters.

It is less suitable for buyers wanting a decorative, fully opaque panel or those who require an exact 5 ft tall finished height; the actual fabric height is 4' 9" which is intended to fit a 5 ft fence with minimal overhang. Also, if someone prefers a fabric made from recycled materials, this product uses 100% virgin HDPE.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent privacy with about 90% visibility blockage while remaining breathable.
• High durability from 170 GSM virgin HDPE and UV stabilization for longer outdoor life.
• Strong mounting design with stainless grommets and wide reinforced binding for wind resistance.

Cons

• Actual height is 4' 9" rather than a full 5 ft, which may look slightly short on some fence styles.
• Made from virgin material, so buyers seeking recycled-content options should look elsewhere.

Our Verdict
