ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5 ft x 86

Our review of the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen finds it best suited for homeowners and property managers who need a robust, long-lasting privacy solution for chain link or cyclone fences. The single biggest reason to buy is its commercial grade 170 GSM virgin HDPE material treated with UV stabilized compounds, which delivers noticeably greater resistance to sun damage and fading than recycled alternatives while still allowing water and air to pass through. Installation is straightforward with the included cable zip ties and generous grommet placement, so it is a practical choice when privacy, durability and value matter.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled material offers a durable barrier that holds up better to sun exposure and wear than thinner, recycled screens.
• UV stabilized compound: The fabric passed extensive UV testing and resists drying, tearing and fading for a longer service life in direct sunlight.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: Although marketed for 5 ft fences, the actual height is 4 ft 9 in which fits neatly on standard 5 ft posts without excess material.
• 90% visibility blockage: The tight weave provides strong privacy for yards, pools, pet pens and construction screening while remaining breathable.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets and a 3 in reinforced edge with grommets 12 in apart vertically help the screen resist wind stress.
• Multiple uses: Can serve as shade cloth, greenhouse cover or wind block for nursery and garden applications.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is ideal for homeowners, landscapers and small business owners who want an economical, durable privacy barrier for chain link and similar fences. It is especially useful where sun exposure is heavy and a longer lasting screen is preferred over inexpensive recycled options.

This is not aimed at buyers who need a full 5 ft tall solid panel or those seeking decorative fabric with open patterns; if an exact 60 in height or decorative detailing is required, a purpose-built solid panel or decorative screen would be a better match.

Pros & Cons
