ColourTree Privacy Fence Screen Grey 5ft x 54ft - Heavy Duty 170 GSM

Our review of the ColourTree Privacy Fence Screen finds it best suited for homeowners and small commercial sites that need a durable, long-lasting privacy solution for chain link and wire fences. The standout reason to buy is the material: a true 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric treated with UV stabilized compounds that resists fading and tearing, providing substantial privacy while remaining breathable. Installation is straightforward with the supplied cable zip ties and extra stainless grommets, so it works well for those who want a low-maintenance barrier that still looks neat.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thick, non-recycled fabric offers superior strength and a firmer feel than typical fence screens for longer life under sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory testing showed extended durability, which helps prevent the fabric from drying out, tearing and fading over time.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: The panel measures 4' 9" high so it fits neatly on 5 ft fences without excess material flapping in the wind.
• 90% visibility blockage: The weave provides strong visual privacy while still allowing air and water to pass through to avoid wind stress and trapped moisture.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets and a 3-inch reinforced binding around edges add strength where wind and tension concentrate.
• Versatile use: Can be used as a shade, greenhouse cover or kennel barrier, making it useful beyond simple fence concealment.

Who It's For

This fence screen is ideal for homeowners, gardeners and property managers who want a robust privacy barrier on chain link, welded wire or cyclone fences without replacing the entire fence. It is also suitable for backyard pools, patios, and pet enclosures where a breathable, water-resistant cover is needed.

Those seeking a very lightweight decorative curtain or a fully opaque, solid vinyl panel should look elsewhere; this product trades complete opacity for breathability and a heavy-duty, serviceable fabric built to resist UV and weather rather than absolute visual blackout.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE gives a durable, long-lasting finish that customers report holds up to rain and sun.
• Extra stainless grommets and reinforced binding make installation secure and reduce tear points in windy conditions.

Cons

• Height is 4' 9" to fit 5 ft fences, which may be slightly shorter than expected if a full 5 ft opaque panel was assumed.
