ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 5ft x 18ft

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is presented as a straightforward privacy solution for homeowners and small businesses. The bottom line: if you need a durable, heavy duty screen that blocks roughly 90% of visibility and fits a 5 ft fence, this product stands out because of its 170 GSM virgin HDPE construction and UV stabilization. The reviewer found it especially useful for chain link or welded wire fences where a long-lasting, low-maintenance concealment is required.

Key Features

• 170 GSM Virgin Material: The heavy duty, 100% virgin HDPE fabric delivers a thicker, tougher barrier that resists tearing under normal outdoor use.
• UV Stabilized Compounds: Lab-tested for extended sun exposure, the fabric is treated to reduce drying, fading and brittleness compared with recycled alternatives.
• Actual Fit for 5 ft Fences: The actual height is 4' 9' which fits neatly on a standard 5 ft fence without excess material flapping or needing trimming.
• High Privacy Blockage: The weave blocks about 90% of visibility, making it useful for pool areas, back yards, patios and pet enclosures.
• Reinforced Grommets and Binding: Stainless copper grommets placed at corners and spaced along edges with a wide reinforced binding improve wind resistance and anchoring longevity.
• Versatile Uses: Breathable fabric allows water and air through, so it doubles as shade cloth, greenhouse cover or wind block for gardens and nurseries.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen suits homeowners, property managers and gardeners who want an economical privacy upgrade for chain link, cyclone or welded wire fences and need something that will stand up to sun and rain. It is a practical choice for pool barriers, pet kennels, and yard backdrops where a near-total visual block is desirable.

Those seeking decorative, opaque panels or wood-style privacy fencing should look elsewhere; this product is a functional, textile-based screen that prioritizes durability and coverage rather than adding structural fence replacement or heavy aesthetic trim.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Made from 170 GSM virgin HDPE for improved durability and longer life in sunlight.
• Blocks approximately 90% of visibility to create effective privacy for outdoor spaces.
• Extra stainless grommets and reinforced binding make installation secure and resistant to wind.

Cons

• Actual height is 4' 9' so it is designed to fit a 5 ft fence but is not a full 5 ft tall panel.
• As a porous fabric, it offers shade and privacy but not a completely solid barrier for sound or full visual opacity.

Our Verdict

The ColourTree 5' x 18' fence screen is a solid value for anyone needing reliable outdoor privacy without replacing a fence. Its 170 GSM virgin HDPE fabric and reinforced grommet system give it a durability edge versus typical recycled screens, and the breathable weave suits pools, gardens and pet areas. Choose this if you want long-lasting coverage and easy installation; choose a solid panel if you need full sound blocking or an opaque decorative look.
