ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 6 ft x 172

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is assessed as a heavy duty privacy solution for homeowners and small businesses who need reliable coverage for chain link and similar fences. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric quality: at 170 GSM of 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilizers and long laboratory UV testing, this screen promises stronger resistance to fading and tearing than recycled alternatives while still allowing airflow. It installs with the supplied stainless grommets, reinforced binding and cable zip ties, making it straightforward to fit to a 6 ft fence.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: the dense fabric material provides a durable barrier that holds up to sun exposure better than recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: lab testing shows extended life under sunlight, reducing fading and brittleness over time.
• Actual height 5' 9" for 6 ft fences: tailored fit that hangs without excess sag and covers most standard 6 ft fence posts.
• Extra stainless grommets and reinforced binding: more grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally with 3 in binding improves wind resistance and longevity.
• 90% visibility blockage: effective privacy for backyards, pools, pet pens and construction sites while remaining breathable for plants and patios.
• Multiple uses: also suitable as shade cloth, greenhouse cover or wind break thanks to the porous woven construction.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is best for homeowners, renters with chain link fencing, landscapers and small property managers who need a cost effective, low maintenance privacy barrier that still allows airflow. It is especially useful where sun exposure and UV degradation is a concern because of the higher-grade virgin HDPE and UV treatment.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers wanting complete blackout fabric or decorative panels with heavy patterns, or anyone needing custom heights far different from the 5' 9" actual height designed to match 6 ft fences; this product is aimed at practical privacy and durability rather than ornamental detail.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 170 GSM virgin material that customers report as durable and long lasting.
• Well thought out reinforcement with extra stainless grommets and strong binding for reliable installation.

Cons

• Actual height is 5' 9" which fits a 6 ft fence but is not a full 6 ft; exact fit matters for some installations.
