ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5 ft x 197

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen stands out as a practical privacy solution for homeowners and contractors who need a heavy duty, long-lasting cover for chain link or wire fences. The single biggest reason to buy is the use of 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, which delivers noticeably better durability and color retention than recycled materials. Installation is straightforward and the product is designed to fit a 5 ft fence while providing about 90% visibility blockage.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thicker, non-recycled material resists tearing and holds up to sun exposure far better than lower grade alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Fabric was lab tested for 20,000 hours and is formulated to reduce fading and brittleness for extended outdoor life.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: The actual height is 4 ft 9 in so it fits neatly on a standard 5 ft fence without excess material.
• High privacy blockage: The weave blocks about 90% of visibility, making it effective for yards, pools, pet pens and construction screening.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Stainless grommets and 3-inch reinforced binding with grommets every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally improve wind resistance and durability.
• Versatile uses: Breathable fabric allows water and air through so it can double as shade cloth for gardens or greenhouse protection.

Who It's For

This fence screen is ideal for homeowners who want a cost effective privacy barrier for chain link fences, people with pet enclosures who need to reduce visual stimuli, and small contractors seeking a durable, reusable screening option for job sites. Its heavy duty build also suits nurseries and garden areas that need wind or sun protection while remaining breathable.

Customers who need precise decorative patterns or full blackout material should look elsewhere, as this product is a porous, woven screen optimized for privacy and durability rather than complete opacity or ornate design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent privacy with roughly 90% visibility blockage while remaining breathable.
• Industrial grade 170 GSM virgin HDPE and UV treatment give stronger weather resistance and longer life.
• Strong mounting system with stainless grommets and wide reinforced binding reduces tearing in wind.
• Multipurpose use for fences, shade, greenhouse and pet pens increases value.

Cons

• Actual height is 4 ft 9 in, so it is tailored for 5 ft fences and may not suit taller privacy needs.
• The woven, porous material does not provide total blackout privacy for every use case.

For those seeking breathable, effective privacy at a reasonable price, this is a solid choice.
