ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 6ft x 106

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is recommended for homeowners and small commercial users who want a durable, high-opacity privacy solution for chain link and similar fences; the single biggest reason to buy is the heavy-duty 170 GSM virgin HDPE fabric that resists fading and tearing under sun exposure. The reviewer found installation straightforward with the included stainless grommets and reinforced binding, and the screen delivers roughly 90% visibility blockage while still allowing air and water to pass through, making it a practical privacy and shade choice.

Key Features

• 170 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled material offers long-term strength and resists tearing compared with thinner or recycled alternatives.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory testing up to 20,000 hours and UV treatment reduce fading and drying, extending usable life outdoors.
• Actual Height and Fit: Measured at 5' 9" to fit neatly on a 6 ft fence, avoiding excess material that can flap in wind.
• High Privacy Performance: Provides about 90% visibility blockage, useful for screening yards, pools, kennels, and construction sites.
• Reinforced Edges and Grommets: Stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally, plus 3 in reinforced binding, improve wind resistance and mounting security.
• Versatile Use: Breathable woven design works as a shade cloth, greenhouse cover, or wind block while allowing water and air through.

Who It's For

This screen is ideal for homeowners with chain link or cyclone fences who need a long-lasting privacy solution that also withstands direct sun exposure. It suits gardeners and small nurseries that want partial shading or wind protection without blocking moisture and airflow.

It is less suitable for buyers who require a perfectly opaque wall or decorative paneling with heavy textures; if a solid, non-breathable barrier is needed for complete sight and sound blocking, consider alternate materials designed specifically for full opacity.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable 170 GSM virgin HDPE resists UV damage and lasts longer than recycled alternatives.
• High privacy blockage of about 90% while remaining breathable for plants and pool areas.
• Complete mounting hardware approach with extra stainless grommets and reinforced binding makes installation secure.

Cons

• Not completely opaque, so it still allows some light and partial silhouettes through.
• Actual height is 5' 9" which fits 6 ft fences but may require trimming for shorter installations.
