ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Screen White 5 ft x 32

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen stands out as a practical privacy solution for homeowners and businesses who need heavy duty coverage on chain link or wire fences. Installed on a 5 ft fence, the screen measures an actual height of 4 ft 9 in and is made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, which is the single biggest reason to consider it if longevity under sun exposure matters. The reviewer found it effective at blocking visibility while remaining breathable and easy to fit with the included grommets and cable zip ties.

Key Features

• 170 GSM Virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material resists tearing and provides a durable surface that holds up to sun and weather exposure.
• UV Stabilized Compounds: Fabric tested in the lab for extended UV life, reducing fading and brittleness compared with recycled alternatives.
• Actual Fit for 5 ft Fences: The screen is 4 ft 9 in high, which fits neatly on fences sold as 5 ft and avoids excess material at the top.
• 90% Visibility Blockage: The weave provides strong privacy while still allowing air and water to pass through, which helps plants and reduces wind load.
• Reinforced Edges and Grommets: Stainless copper grommets and a 3 in reinforced binding with grommets spaced for secure mounting increase wind resistance.
• Includes Cable Zip Ties: Comes ready to install with ties for a quick attachment to chain link, cyclone or welded wire fences.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is ideal for homeowners, rental property managers or small commercial sites seeking an economical, long lasting privacy barrier for back yards, patios, pool enclosures and pet pens. It is a good fit where a breathable cover is required to shield view and wind without creating a solid sail that can strain posts.

It is less suitable for applications that need a completely opaque, solid barrier or where exact custom heights beyond the supplied 4 ft 9 in are critical; in those cases users should seek a full-height custom panel or a rigid privacy fence solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High durability from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE and UV stabilization delivers longer life in sun-exposed locations.
• Effective privacy with about 90% visibility blockage while remaining breathable for plant and pool areas.
• Installation is straightforward thanks to multiple stainless grommets, reinforced binding and included cable zip ties.
• Good value for large coverage areas like 32 ft lengths compared with buying many smaller pieces.

Cons

• Actual height is 4 ft 9 in, so it is not a full 5 ft; buyers seeking exact 5 ft coverage should measure carefully.
• As a woven screen it is not fully opaque, so it reduces but does not completely eliminate sightlines.

Our Verdict
