ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 8 ft x 110

Our review of the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen finds it best suited to homeowners and property managers who need a heavy-duty, long-lasting privacy solution for chain link or wire fences. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric quality: this is one of the few fence screens made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with a UV stabilized compound, tested for extended sun exposure so it resists fading and drying better than recycled options. Installation is straightforward and the reinforced grommets and binding help it stay put in wind.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: A thicker, non-recycled weave gives stronger tear resistance and a substantial feel compared with thinner fence screens.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory testing showed extended UV durability so the fabric resists fading and embrittlement under sun exposure.
• Actual height 7 ft 9 in: Sized to fit an 8 ft fence without overhang, giving a neat, tailored look on standard 8 ft posts.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Extra stainless grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally plus 3 in binding on edges improve wind holding strength.
• 90% visibility blockage: Dense weave provides strong privacy while remaining breathable so water and air pass through.
• Versatile use: Can be used for pool privacy, pet pens, plant shade or greenhouse cover thanks to its UV and water resistance.

Who It's For

This fence screen is ideal for residential and light commercial users who need durable privacy on chain link, cyclone, welded wire or similar fences and who prefer a product made from virgin materials for longer lifespan. It suits backyard owners who want a neat, high-coverage look on 8 ft fences, and those who want a breathable screen for plants or pet enclosures.

It is less suitable for buyers who prefer very lightweight temporary screens or who need full blackout coverage; the fabric is designed for about 90% visibility blockage and breathability rather than total light exclusion. Also, users who require custom eyelet spacing beyond the supplied layout should plan for additional fastening solutions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE material offers durability and a robust feel.
• UV stabilization and extended lab testing translate to better resistance to fading and drying.
• Generous reinforced grommet layout and heavy binding make the screen hold up well in wind.

Cons

• Durability reports are mixed among customers, so extreme-weather longevity can vary by installation and exposure.
