ColourTree Privacy Fence Screen Grey 5ft 9in x 136ft - Heavy Duty 170

In this review of the ColourTree privacy fence screen, the bottom line is simple: it is best for homeowners or small contractors who need a long-lasting, heavy duty privacy solution for chain link or cyclone wire fences. The reviewer found that the screen stands out because it uses 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE and a UV stabilized compound, which are the single biggest reasons to buy for anyone seeking a durable, fade-resistant cover that still breathes. Installation is straightforward and the accessories included make it ready to use on delivery.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled material offers greater tear resistance and a sturdier feel than thinner fence screens, improving longevity.
• UV stabilized compound: Tested extensively in the lab, the fabric resists drying out, tearing and fading so the screen keeps its appearance over years in sun exposure.
• Designed for 6 ft fences: Actual height is 5'9" so it fits perfectly on a standard 6 ft fence without excess material dragging or needing trimming.
• High privacy blockage: Approximately 90% visibility blockage gives effective screening for backyards, pools, pet pens and construction sites while still allowing air flow.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets are placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally with a 3 in reinforced binding to hold up in wind.
• Multiuse as shade or greenhouse cover: Breathable weaving allows water and air through, making it usable as plant shade, nursery wind block or window shade.

Who It's For

The ColourTree screen is aimed at homeowners, landscapers and small property managers who want a durable, professional privacy solution for chain link or wire fences and need a product that resists sun damage. It is especially useful where long runs are required, since this variation covers 136 ft and includes plenty of grommets for secure fastening.

People who need a decorative wood fence replacement look or a temporary construction barrier will also find value. Those who require full blackout privacy or a transparent decorative panel should look elsewhere, since this fabric balances blockage with breathability rather than total opacity.

Pros & Cons

• Comes with extra stainless copper grommets and reinforced 3 in binding for secure installation.
• Versatile uses as privacy screen, shade, or nursery greenhouse cover thanks to breathable weave.
