Royal Shade Custom Size 3 ft x 36 ft Grey Balcony Privacy Screen

In this review of the Royal Shade custom size 3 ft x 36 ft grey balcony privacy screen, the reviewer finds a reliable solution for anyone who needs strong, breathable coverage for a 3 footer fence or balcony rail. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy duty HDPE fabric that balances privacy and airflow: it blocks about 90% of view and glare while still allowing breeze and water to pass through, making it useful for patios, plant nurseries, and pet pens. Installation is straightforward thanks to finished edges and evenly spaced grommets.

Key Features

• Exact fit: The actual height is 3 ft and the screen is made to fit a 3 footer fence for a neat, tailored look without excess material.
• Durable fabric: Heavy duty commercial grade HDPE resists UV and water so the screen stands up to sun exposure and wet weather.
• Privacy level: About 90% blockage provides substantial privacy and glare reduction without creating a fully darkened space.
• Breathability: The woven construction lets air and water pass through, reducing wind load and preventing water pooling on the fabric.
• Easy installation: Edges are finished with black binding and stainless brass grommets placed every 12 in on vertical edges and 24 in on horizontal edges for secure fastening.
• Included hardware: Cable zip ties are included so most buyers can attach the screen quickly to railings or posts.

Who It's For

This screen is ideal for apartment dwellers, homeowners with 3 ft fences, and anyone wanting to reduce sun glare and visibility from neighbors while preserving airflow. It works well for patios, balconies, gardening nurseries, pet enclosures, and temporary construction or shade covers where a breathable 90% blockage is desired.

It is less suited to buyers who need complete blackout privacy or decorative fabric options; the focus here is on durable, functional protection rather than decorative variety. Also check that a 3 ft height matches your railing or fence before purchasing.

Is the fabric waterproof?
The HDPE fabric is water resistant and allows water to pass through the weave, so it will not trap water but it is not a solid waterproof sheet.

Are mounting ties included?
Cable zip ties are included with most orders, but some buyers reported receiving fewer than expected, so keep extra ties available if you need them.
