ColourTree Privacy Fence Screen Grey 4ft x 24 - Heavy Duty 170 GSM

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen is evaluated for homeowners and renters who need an affordable, durable privacy solution for chain link or wire fences. The single biggest reason to buy is its construction from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compound, which delivers noticeably better resistance to sun and weather than recycled alternatives and makes it a long-lasting privacy option for outdoor spaces.

Key Features

• 170 GSM Virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric offers greater tear resistance and a firmer feel compared with thinner recycled screens.
• UV Stabilized Compound: Laboratory-tested for extended sun exposure, the fabric resists fading and drying so it lasts longer in bright conditions.
• Actual Height Fit: At an actual height of 3' 10' the screen fits neatly on standard 4 ft fences without an awkward overhang.
• Reinforced Edges and Grommets: Stainless-reinforced grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally and wide binding make installation secure and help the screen hold up in wind.
• 90% Visibility Blockage: The tight, breathable weave provides substantial privacy while still allowing water and air to pass through for plant health and drainage.
• Versatile Use: Beyond privacy it doubles as shade, greenhouse covering or wind block for nurseries and pet pens.

Who It's For

The ColourTree privacy screen is aimed at homeowners, renters and property managers who want a cost-effective, heavy duty alternative to building a solid fence. It is especially useful for people with chain link, welded wire or cyclone fences who need quick, neat concealment for yards, pools or pet kennels.

Those who need full blackout privacy or an exact custom height beyond the listed size should look elsewhere, since this model provides around 90% visibility blockage and is manufactured to fit a 4 ft fence with an actual height of 3' 10'.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE is durable and stands up to sun and weather.
• Generous grommet placement and reinforced binding make the screen stable in wind.
• Breathable fabric blocks visibility while allowing air and water to pass, protecting plants and reducing strain on fasteners.
• Easy to install and cost-effective compared with building a fence.

Cons

• Not fully opaque; it blocks about 90% of visibility rather than providing complete blackout privacy.
• Height is tailored to 4 ft fences (actual 3' 10') so it may not suit taller fence needs without trimming or additional panels.

Specifications
