Privacy Fence Screen Brown 4ft 9in x 110ft - 170 GSM Heavy Duty

In this review the ColourTree privacy fence screen stands out as a practical, heavy duty solution for anyone who needs reliable screening without replacing a fence. The reviewer found it best suited for homeowners and renters who want a durable, near-opaque barrier for chain link or cyclone fences, with the single biggest reason to buy being its 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE weave that resists sun damage and keeps privacy for years. Installation is straightforward and the included grommets and reinforced binding make the screen hang securely.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides long-lasting strength and reduces tearing compared with recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compound: Material passed long-duration UV testing so it resists fading and drying in sun-exposed locations.
• Actual fit for 5 ft fences: Measured at 4'9" actual height to fit neatly on standard 5 ft fence frames without excess material.
• High privacy performance: Fabric blocks about 90% of visibility, useful for screening yards, pools, kennels, and construction sites.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Stainless binding and copper grommets placed frequently around edges help the screen withstand wind and ease attachment.
• Multiuse shading: Breathable weave lets water and air pass through, allowing use as shade cloth or greenhouse protection.

Who It's For

This screen is ideal for homeowners, renters and small property owners who want an economical way to add privacy to chain link, welded wire or cyclone fences without replacing them. It also suits gardeners and small nurseries who need shade or wind blocking that still allows airflow and water through.

It may be less suitable for someone wanting a fully opaque, decorative fence panel or a custom-cut rigid privacy wall; those users should look for solid panels or custom fabrication rather than a breathable HDPE screen.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very durable 170 GSM virgin material resists UV degradation and lasts longer than recycled alternatives.
• High privacy with approximately 90% visibility blockage for effective screening.
• Practical attachment system with extra stainless grommets and reinforced binding for wind resistance.
• Versatile use as shade, greenhouse cover or kennel barrier thanks to breathable fabric.

Cons

• Height listed at 4'9" is slightly under 5 ft, so exact fit is required and some trimming or adjustment may be needed on nonstandard fences.
• Breathable fabric is not fully opaque, so it does not provide absolute visual black-out like solid panels.
