Royal Shade Custom Size 5 ft x 70 ft Black Privacy Screen - Durable

Our review of the Royal Shade Custom Size 5 ft x 70 ft Black Fence Privacy Screen finds it ideal for homeowners and garden managers who want reliable, long-lasting privacy without blocking airflow. The single biggest reason to buy is its commercial grade HDPE fabric that balances about 90% privacy blockage with breathability so plants and pets still get air and water. It is sold as a custom size made to fit a 5 ft fence (actual height 4 ft 10 in) and arrives ready to install with reinforced edges and grommets, making it a practical choice for routine outdoor use.

Key Features

• Made to fit: The actual height is 4 ft 10 in so it fits a standard 5 ft fence without excess material to trim or tuck.
• Heavy duty fabric: Commercial grade HDPE resists UV and water, helping the screen last under sun exposure and through varied weather.
• Controlled privacy: Approximately 90% blockage provides strong sightline screening while avoiding a totally blackout look.
• Breathable weave: The fabric allows wind and water to pass through, which reduces stress on the fence and protects plants behind the screen.
• Ready installation: Edges are finished with heavy duty binding and stainless brass grommets placed 12 in apart on vertical edges and 24 in on horizontal edges for secure attachment.
• Warranty support: A 3 year limited warranty gives added confidence for long term outdoor use.

Who It's For

This privacy screen is for homeowners, renters with fenced yards, landscapers, and small nurseries that need strong visual screening and wind control while maintaining airflow for plants. It suits people who want a product that is quick to install and sized specifically for a 5 ft fence.

It is not ideal for buyers seeking a total blackout barrier or a decorative fabric with intricate patterns; the intent here is functional privacy and durability rather than ornate aesthetics.
