Privacy Fence Screen Grey 5ft 9in x 175ft - 170 GSM Commercial Grade

In this review the ColourTree privacy fence screen is judged on durability, ease of fit and overall value for anyone looking to add a long-lasting privacy barrier to chain link or wire fencing. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is the heavy duty 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric that survives sun exposure far better than recycled alternatives, making it a practical choice for yards, pools and pet enclosures where a near 90% visibility blockage and reliable wind resistance are required.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Thick, non-recycled material provides a denser weave for stronger privacy and longer lifespan under sun exposure.
• UV stabilized compounds: Laboratory testing shows enhanced resistance to fading and tearing, which helps maintain appearance and function over years.
• Actual 5'9" height: Designed to fit neatly on a 6 ft fence while keeping a tidy, slightly shorter profile that hides chain link without overhanging.
• Extra stainless grommets and reinforced binding: Grommets placed every 12 in vertically and 24 in horizontally plus 3 in reinforced binding help the screen withstand wind and reduce tear points.
• Breathable, multi-use fabric: The porous weave allows water and air through, making the material suitable for shade, greenhouse covers, and plant nursery wind breaks.
• 3 year limited warranty: Backed by a brand warranty and free consultation, giving additional confidence for outdoor use.

Who It's For

This fence screen suits homeowners and property managers who want a cost-effective privacy solution for chain link, welded wire, or cyclone fences and who prioritize long-term UV resistance. It is particularly useful for backyard privacy, pool enclosures, pet pens and screening construction or roadside views.

Those seeking a decorative solid panel or an opaque wooden fence should look elsewhere, since this is a porous, fabric-based screen that balances airflow with privacy rather than creating a completely solid barrier.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High density 170 GSM virgin material feels sturdier and blocks about 90% of visibility for effective privacy.
• Well-placed stainless grommets and reinforced binding make installation durable and reduce wind damage.
• Breathable weave can double as shade or greenhouse covering, adding versatility beyond simple screening.

Cons

• Actual height is 5'9" which fits a 6 ft fence but may disappoint buyers expecting a full 6 ft opaque cover.
• Fabric is porous, so it reduces but does not entirely eliminate visibility or wind transfer compared with solid panels.
