ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 8 ft x 138

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is evaluated for homeowners and property managers who need a long, durable privacy solution for chain link and wire fences. The single biggest reason to buy is the material: a heavy duty 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compounds, which is designed to resist fading and tearing and fits an 8 ft fence because its actual height is 7 ft 9 in. This review looks at installation, durability, and practical uses to help decide if it suits a yard, pool area, or commercial perimeter.

Key Features

• Material: Made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE, the fabric offers a thicker, nonrecycled construction that improves longevity and tear resistance.
• UV Protection: Treated with UV stabilized compound after 20000 hours of lab UV testing to reduce fading and drying, extending usable life outdoors.
• Privacy: Provides about 90% visibility blockage, making it effective for blocking sightlines along chain link and welded wire fences.
• Reinforced Edges: Black reinforced 3-inch binding and stainless grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally add strength and help the screen hold up in windy conditions.
• Versatile Use: Breathable weave allows water and air through so it can be used for shade, greenhouse or nursery protection as well as a privacy screen.
• Warranty: Comes with a limited 3 year warranty under normal use and weather, with free consultation from the brand.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is best for homeowners, renters, and light commercial users who need an economical privacy solution for chain link, cyclone, or welded wire fences and who value a thicker, UV treated material for longer outdoor life. It fits an 8 ft fence because the actual height is 7 ft 9 in, so buyers replacing or covering standard 8 ft fence panels will get a near-perfect fit.

People who want a decorative, permanent wood-like barrier or those seeking complete blackout coverage may want to look elsewhere, as this product is a porous woven fabric designed to balance privacy with airflow and light transmission rather than total opacity.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE resists tearing and fading better than recycled materials.
• Effective privacy with about 90% visibility blockage while still allowing airflow and light.
• Reinforced 3-inch binding and plentiful stainless grommets increase wind resistance and simplify installation.
• Versatile for shade, greenhouse cover, pet pens, pool privacy and garden use.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed durability around eyelet areas, so heavy wind or rough handling may stress grommets over time.
• Actual height of 7 ft 9 in is slightly under 8 ft, which fits most 8 ft fences but may show a small gap on certain installations.

Specifications

Our Verdict

It is a practical, cost effective choice for yards, pools, nurseries, and pet enclosures.
