Privacy Fence Screen Brown 4ft 9in x 105ft - 170 GSM Heavy Duty

Our review of this brown privacy fence screen finds it best for homeowners and renters who need a long-lasting, high-coverage solution for chain link or wire fences; the single biggest reason to buy is the material quality, since this is made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilization that resists fading and tearing better than recycled alternatives. Installation is straightforward with the included cable zip ties and ample grommets, and the actual height of 4'9" fits neatly on a standard 5 ft fence so it looks finished when installed.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The heavy material offers superior durability and a firmer, less flimsy cover compared with thinner recycled fence screens.
• UV stabilized compound: Laboratory-tested resistance means the fabric resists drying, tearing and fading under sun exposure for longer life.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: The 4'9" height is designed to sit correctly on a 5 ft fence without excess material dragging or exposing gaps.
• High privacy blockage: Breathable weave blocks about 90% of visibility while still allowing airflow and water to pass through.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Multiple stainless grommets and 3-inch reinforced edges distribute wind load and make attachment more secure.
• Versatile use: Can serve as shade cloth, greenhouse cover or kennel screen, expanding its usefulness beyond privacy fencing.

Who It's For

This fence screen is ideal for property owners who want a durable privacy barrier on chain link or welded wire fences, and for gardeners or pool owners who need a breathable wind and sun shield. The heavy 170 GSM material and extra grommets suit locations exposed to sun and moderate wind where longevity is a priority.

It may be less suitable for buyers who need a decorative, non-porous blackout panel or for those requiring a shorter temporary screen for occasional events; lighter, temporary fabrics could be easier for short-term use or frequent removal.

The product includes cable zip ties and extra stainless grommets are pre-installed for secure attachment.

How long will the color last?
UV-stabilized compounds and 20,000 hours of lab testing indicate the fabric resists fading substantially longer than recycled alternatives, and a 3 year limited warranty is provided.
