Fence Privacy Screen 5 ft x 58 ft Green - Heavy Duty 170 GSM

Our review of the ShadeMart fence privacy screen finds it best suited for homeowners and renters who need a straightforward, heavy duty privacy solution for fences and balconies. The main reason to buy is the durable 170 GSM virgin HDPE fabric that is UV stabilized after extensive testing, which gives lasting privacy without becoming brittle or faded quickly. Installation is simple and the included stainless grommets and zip ties make it usable on chain link, wood or railings right away.

Key Features

• Durable Material: The 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE cloth resists tearing and degradation and is treated with UV stabilized compound for longer outdoor life.
• High Privacy: The knit design provides about 90% visibility blockage, so it effectively shields yards, pools and balconies from street view.
• Easy Installation: Reinforced 3-inch binding and extra stainless grommets at each corner plus included zip ties make mounting to chain link, wood palisade or railings straightforward.
• Breathable Weave: The fabric allows water and air to pass, protecting plants and reducing wind load while still offering sun protection.
• Multifunction Use: Works as a garden shade, greenhouse cover, pet pen screen or construction barrier, expanding its usefulness beyond simple privacy.

Who It's For

This fence screen is ideal for people who want a durable, no-fuss privacy barrier for a 5 ft high fence, balcony or pool area and who appreciate materials tested for UV resistance. It suits gardeners who need breathable shade, pet owners who want to reduce barking triggers, and homeowners looking to hide street or neighboring views.

It may be less suitable for those who require absolute blackout screening or exact custom widths without checking measurements first, since some buyers report variation in width relative to the advertised size. If you need full opacity or a specific custom finish, consider a specialized fabricator.
