ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5 ft x 36

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 anyone wanting a near-complete visual barrier on chain link or wire fences. The reviewer finds the product especially worth considering for homeowners and renters who need a durable, breathable cover that blocks about 90% of visibility while resisting sun damage. The screen's use of 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE and extensive UV testing is the single biggest reason to buy for long-term outdoor use.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides greater tear resistance and a sturdier feel than thinner fence screens.
• UV stabilized compound: Treated fabric resists drying, fading and tearing after prolonged sun exposure, extending usable life.
• Actual height fit: Measured at 4 ft 9 in to fit neatly on a 5 ft fence without excess material hanging below.
• Privacy performance: Breathable weave blocks roughly 90% of visibility, making it effective for yards, pools and kennels while allowing airflow.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets and 3 in reinforced binding spaced for strength help the screen hold up in wind.
• Included cable zip ties: Simple hardware provided for quick installation and secure attachment to chain link or welded wire fences.

Who It's For

The ColourTree screen suits homeowners, renters and property managers who need an affordable, long-lasting privacy barrier for chain link, cyclone or welded wire fences and those looking for shade or nursery wind protection. It is also practical for pool surrounds, kennels and garden areas where airflow and water permeability are required.

People who need a perfectly exact custom height beyond the stated fit, or who prefer a fully solid, non-porous barrier for complete sound or light blockage, should consider alternative materials. Also, those seeking decorative printed panels rather than a functional privacy screen may want different options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE offers clear durability advantages over recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilization and long laboratory testing suggest better resistance to fading and tearing in sun-exposed locations.
• Good privacy with about 90% visibility blockage while still allowing air and water to pass.
• Reinforced edges and multiple stainless grommets improve wind performance and longevity.

Cons

• Height is 4 ft 9 in to fit 5 ft fences, so buyers must note the actual measurement rather than assuming a full 5 ft.
• Porous weave is not a complete visual or acoustic seal if absolute opacity is required.

Specifications
