ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 8 ft x 83

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is evaluated as a practical privacy solution for homeowners and small businesses who need a durable cover for chain link or welded wire fences. The single biggest reason to consider it is the material: a commercial grade 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compounds that was laboratory-tested for long sun exposure, so it aims to resist fading and tearing better than recycled alternatives while still allowing airflow.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Heavy duty, non-recycled fabric offers a thicker weave for greater tear resistance compared with lower GSM options.
• UV stabilized compounds: Factory UV treatment and extensive lab testing mean the fabric resists drying out and fading under prolonged sun exposure.
• Actual fit for 8 ft fences: The true height is 7 ft 9 in so it fits neatly on an 8 ft fence without excessive trimming or gaps.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets and 3 in black reinforced binding around edges improve wind resistance and attachment security.
• Privacy and breathability: Around 90% visibility blockage provides good screening while the porous weave allows water and air to pass through.
• Versatile uses: Can double as shade cloth or greenhouse protection for gardens, kennels, pools and construction site screening.

Who It's For

This product suits homeowners with chain link or welded wire fences who want a durable, near-opaque privacy barrier that still breathes. It is also useful for gardeners and small nurseries needing wind and sun protection that does not trap moisture against plants.

Those who need a temporary, lightweight cover or an exact off-the-shelf dimension other than the customized 8 ft height should consider alternatives; similarly, if absolute blackout is required rather than 90% blockage, a different material may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Thicker 170 GSM virgin HDPE material feels sturdier and more resistant to wear than thinner screens.
• Stainless copper grommets and heavy binding make installation secure and reduce tearing around attachment points.
• Provides substantial privacy with about 90% visibility blockage while allowing airflow and light.
• Multiuse for fences, garden shade, greenhouse covering and kennel screens.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed durability around grommet areas over long-term use, so heavy wind exposure may require careful fastening.
• Actual height of 7 ft 9 in is ideal for 8 ft fences but may need trimming for other fence sizes.
