Privacy Fence Screen Grey 5ft 9in x 115ft - 170 GSM Heavy Duty

In this review the ColourTree grey privacy fence screen is evaluated as a heavy duty, commercial grade option for homeowners and small businesses seeking a durable, economical privacy solution. The single biggest reason to buy is the material: this screen is made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilized compounds, which the brand reports has gone through extensive UV testing to resist fading and tearing. For anyone who needs long lasting coverage on a 6 ft fence line, this product aims to combine toughness, breathability and a clean look.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: The thicker, non-recycled material provides greater tear resistance and a firmer feel than thinner recycled alternatives.
• UV stabilized compounds: Laboratory testing and treatment reduce fading and drying, extending usable life in sun-exposed installations.
• Actual 5'9" height for 6 ft fences: The slightly shorter measured height fits neatly on common 6 ft fences without excess material dragging or bunching.
• 90% visibility blockage: The woven fabric offers high privacy while still allowing airflow and some light transmission for plants and pool areas.
• Reinforced grommets and binding: Stainless copper grommets placed evenly every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally with 3 in reinforced binding improve wind resistance and mounting durability.
• Versatile uses: Breathable weave makes the screen suitable for privacy, shade, greenhouse or kennel applications where water and air passage are needed.

Who It's For

This screen is best for homeowners, landscapers and small commercial sites that need long lasting privacy on chain link, cyclone, welded wire or wooden retaining fences, and who prefer a heavier, non-recycled HDPE material for durability. It suits backyard enclosures, pool surrounds, pet pens and garden areas where both privacy and airflow are required.

Those who need decorative patterns, complete opaque blackout, or extremely lightweight temporary screening should look elsewhere, since this product focuses on commercial grade strength and 90% visibility blockage rather than full blackout or ornamental design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Commercial grade 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE gives a robust, long lasting feel.
• UV stabilized material and testing reduce fading and extend outdoor lifespan.
• Generous grommet spacing and reinforced binding make installation sturdy in windy locations.
• Breathable weave allows water and air to pass, useful for plants and pool areas.

Cons

• The 90% blockage still allows some light through, so it is not a complete visual blackout for those wanting total concealment.
• Actual height of 5'9" may be slightly shorter than some 6 ft labeled alternatives, requiring careful measurement before purchase.

Specifications
