Customized Size Fence Screen Privacy Grey 6ft x 171ft - 170 GSM Heavy

In this review the ColourTree Customized Size Fence Screen in grey is presented as a heavy duty privacy solution for homeowners and small businesses that need durable coverage for chain link or welded wire fences. The biggest reason to buy is its construction: made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, the fabric is proven in lab testing to resist sun damage and last significantly longer than recycled alternatives, making it a practical choice when longevity and effective privacy are priorities.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides a denser weave that improves durability and privacy compared with thinner screens.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory tested for 20000 hours to reduce fading and drying, extending usable life under sun exposure.
• 90% visibility blockage: High coverage lets sunlight filter while maintaining privacy for yards, pools, and kennels.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Extra stainless grommets and 3-inch reinforced edges distribute load and help the screen hold up in wind.
• Multiple use cases: Breathable fabric allows water and air through, so it works for shades, greenhouse covers, and wind blocking around plants.
• 3 year limited warranty: Manufacturer support and free consultation add reassurance for normal use and weather conditions.

Who It's For

The ColourTree fence screen is best for homeowners, renters with chain link fences, pool owners, and small nurseries who want a long-lasting privacy solution that resists sun damage. It fits a nominal 6 ft fence while the actual height is about 5' 9', so it pairs well with standard 6' posts and hides views without fully blocking airflow.

It is less suitable for people seeking a solid impermeable barrier or those who require exact full-height coverage taller than 6 ft; landscapers wanting decorative wood-style panels should look elsewhere. Those needing temporary, lightweight privacy for short-term events may prefer thinner, less expensive options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-density 170 GSM virgin material offers strong durability and better privacy than recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilization and long lab test hours reduce fading and material breakdown in sun-exposed locations.
• Well thought-out hardware with stainless grommets and reinforced binding improves wind resistance and ease of installation.

Cons

• Actual height is 5' 9' which is slightly under a true 6' for users expecting full 6' coverage.
• Heavier, thicker fabric can be more difficult to handle during installation compared with lightweight screens.

Our Verdict

The ColourTree grey fence screen is a practical, long-lived privacy choice for anyone mounting coverage on chain link or welded wire fences who values UV resistance and reinforced hardware. Its 170 GSM virgin material and extra grommets make it better suited to permanent or semi-permanent installations, delivering good value for backyards, pools, and plant areas even with the slightly reduced actual height.
