ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 8 ft x 130

Our review of the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen finds it most useful for homeowners and property managers who need long-lasting privacy on chain link or welded wire fences. The single biggest reason to buy is the heavy duty, 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric with UV stabilized compounds, which is designed to resist fading and tearing in sun exposure and fits an 8 ft fence because the actual height is 7 ft 9 in. This review focuses on real-world fit, durability, and whether the included grommets and reinforced binding keep the screen secured in windy conditions.

Key Features

• Material: Made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE, the fabric is thicker and claimed to be more durable under sun exposure than recycled alternatives.
• UV Protection: Treated with UV stabilized compound after 20000 hours of laboratory testing to reduce drying, tearing and fading over time.
• Privacy: Provides roughly 90% visibility blockage, offering effective concealment for back yards, pools, patios and kennels while still allowing airflow.
• Reinforced Edges: Black reinforced 3 in binding around all edges and evenly spaced stainless grommets help the screen withstand wind and frequent handling.
• Multiple Uses: Breathable weave allows water and air through so it can be used as shade cloth, greenhouse cover, or wind break for plants and nurseries.
• Warranty: Limited 3 year warranty under normal use, with free consultation offered by the brand.

Who It's For

This fence screen is best for homeowners, landscapers and property owners who need a cost-effective, long-length privacy barrier for chain link and welded wire fences, or who want shade coverage for gardens and pet pens. Its heavy 170 GSM fabric and reinforced grommets suit locations exposed to regular sun and moderate wind.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need a decorative or opaque solid fence screen rather than a 90% blockage breathable fabric, and anyone requiring a custom height well above 8 ft since this product measures an actual 7 ft 9 in and is intended to fit standard 8 ft fences.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE offers strong UV resistance and a robust feel.
• Effective 90% visibility blockage for privacy while remaining breathable for plants and pools.
• Reinforced 3 in binding and numerous stainless grommets provide better edge strength and easier mounting.
• Versatile uses from shade cloth to greenhouse covering make it a practical multi-purpose product.

Cons

• Durability feedback is mixed among users, with some reporting issues around eyelet ripping under heavy stress.
• Actual height is 7 ft 9 in so it only fits an 8 ft fence when slight shortfall is acceptable.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The ColourTree fence screen is a practical, value-minded choice for anyone needing large-area privacy and UV-resistant coverage on standard 8 ft fences; its 170 GSM virgin HDPE and reinforced edges make it a stronger option than thinner recycled screens, and the 3 year warranty adds assurance. It represents good value when breathability and long runs of coverage are priorities, but buyers should attach grommets carefully to avoid stress on eyelets in very windy sites.
