ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5 ft x 62

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen stands out as a sensible privacy upgrade for homeowners and landscapers who need a heavy duty barrier without replacing existing fencing. The central reason to buy is its use of 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, which the reviewer found to deliver noticeably better durability and sustained color compared with thinner or recycled alternatives. Installation is straightforward and the finished look provides strong visual screening while remaining breathable.

Key Features

• Material and durability: The 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric resists drying, tearing and fading so the screen keeps its strength and appearance under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV protection: Lab-tested up to 20000 hours, the UV stabilized compound makes the fabric about 70% more resistant to sun damage than recycled HDPE, extending usable life.
• Privacy performance: The woven design blocks approximately 90% of visibility, making it an effective visual barrier for yards, pools and pet enclosures.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally with 3 in reinforced binding reduce wind stress and help the screen hold up in adverse weather.
• Fit and sizing: Actual height measures 4 ft 9 in to fit neatly on a 5 ft fence while the long 62 ft length covers extended runs without many seams.
• Versatile uses: Breathable fabric allows water and air flow so it doubles as shade cloth, greenhouse covering or wind block for nurseries and patios.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is best for homeowners, property managers and landscapers who want a cost effective privacy solution for chain link, cyclone or welded wire fencing and who prefer a heavier, non-recycled material for longer life. It suits people who need a breathable screen that will not trap water and can also serve as shade or a light greenhouse cover.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need a fully opaque solid barrier rather than a 90% blockage fabric, or anyone requiring a custom height beyond the stated 4 ft 9 in actual measurement; this product is designed to fit standard 5 ft fences and perform as a woven privacy screen.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE gives improved durability and color retention compared with recycled alternatives.
• Strong privacy performance, blocking about 90% of visibility while remaining breathable for plants and drainage.
• Well placed stainless grommets and reinforced 3 in binding reduce stress points and simplify secure installation.
• Versatile - works as a privacy screen, shade cloth or light greenhouse cover.

Cons

• Actual height is 4 ft 9 in, which is perfect for a 5 ft fence but may not suit users who expect a full 5 ft of coverage.
• As a porous woven fabric it is not a completely solid visual or sound barrier for users wanting total opacity or acoustic blocking.

Our Verdict

The ColourTree 170 GSM fence screen is a practical, long lasting privacy solution for anyone looking to conceal chain link or wire fences without major construction. Its virgin HDPE and extensive UV testing give it an edge in durability and appearance retention, while the reinforced grommets simplify installation. It is good value for those wanting breathable, near-opaque screening; choose a different product only if you need full opacity or a taller panel than the stated 4 ft 9 in.
