ColourTree Privacy Fence Screen Grey 5ft 9in Height - Heavy Duty 170

In this review the ColourTree privacy fence screen is judged as a practical, heavy duty solution for homeowners and small businesses who need reliable coverage for chain link and wire fences. The standout reason to buy is its use of 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, which the manufacturer tested extensively and says delivers much better resistance to sun damage than recycled alternatives. This review focuses on real-world use, installation, and whether the product delivers on privacy, durability and value for money.

Key Features

• Material: Made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE, the fabric offers a thick, durable barrier that resists tearing and daily wear.
• UV protection: Treated with UV stabilized compounds after 20000 hours of lab testing, the screen is built to resist fading and drying in sun-exposed locations.
• Designed height: Actual height is 5'9" so it fits neatly on a 6 ft fence without excess material to trip over or bunch up.
• Reinforced edges: Black reinforced 3-inch binding and stainless copper grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally help the screen hold up under wind.
• Privacy performance: The woven fabric blocks about 90% of visibility while remaining breathable, so it provides concealment without trapping moisture.
• Accessory kit: Includes extra stainless grommets and cable zip ties for installation so most installs are completed without added parts.

Who It's For

This fence screen is best for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers who want a lasting privacy solution over chain link, cyclone wire, welded or other metal fences around yards, pools, kennels, or construction areas. It suits buyers who prioritize UV resistance and prefer non-recycled, thick material to avoid premature breakdown.

Those who need full blackout coverage, decorative patterns, or a cheaper short-term option might look elsewhere; this product aims for durable, practical privacy rather than decorative trim or the lowest initial price.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High density 170 GSM virgin HDPE feels substantial and resists tears better than thinner screens.
• UV stabilized compound and extended lab testing suggest long life in sunny climates.
• Generous grommet placement and reinforced binding make mounting stable and simple.
• Blocks about 90% of visibility while remaining breathable for plants and pools.

Cons

• The actual height of 5'9" is ideal for a 6 ft fence but is not full 6 ft coverage if exact height is required.
• Heavier material may require more fasteners and time to position during installation.
