ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen Grey 8ft x 85ft

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is evaluated for homeowners and property managers who need a durable, high-coverage privacy solution for chain link and wire fences. The biggest reason to buy is the material: the screen is made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE treated with UV stabilized compounds, which the brand says is significantly more resistant to sun damage than recycled alternatives. For those seeking near-total visual blockage and a heavy duty feel, this fence screen delivers practical, long-term privacy.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides a sturdier weave and a denser visual barrier than common lower-weight screens.
• UV stabilized compound: Fabric was lab-tested for extended UV exposure so it resists drying, tearing and fading for longer outdoor life.
• Actual fit for 8 ft fences: The listed height is 7 ft 9 in, designed to fit neatly on 8 ft fence posts without excess material.
• 90% visibility blockage: The tight, breathable weave gives strong privacy while still allowing air and water to pass through.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally plus 3 in reinforced binding improve wind resistance and durability at stress points.
• Accessory kit included: The product ships with cable zip ties for straightforward installation and extra stainless grommets for secure attachment.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen suits homeowners, rental property managers and small commercial sites that need an economical privacy barrier for chain link, cyclone wire or welded wire fences around yards, pools and pet pens. It is especially useful when a near-complete visual block and UV resistance are priorities.

This is not aimed at buyers who want decorative fabric panels with complex patterns, or those who require a fully waterproof tarpaulin; the screen is a breathable woven fabric intended for privacy and shade rather than full weather sealing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE gives a robust, heavy duty feel and better UV longevity.
• Designed to fit 8 ft fences with an actual height of 7 ft 9 in for a tidy installation.
• Generous grommet placement and reinforced binding reduce the chance of tearing at attachment points.
• Breathable weave provides shade and privacy while letting air and water pass through for plant and pool areas.

Cons

• Some users report mixed durability around eyelets despite reinforced grommets, so extra care during heavy wind may be needed.
• The material is privacy-focused rather than decorative, so it lacks ornamental patterns for landscaping design.
