ShadeMart 5 ft x 110 ft Fence Privacy Screen Black - Heavy Duty 170

In this review of the ShadeMart 5 ft x 110 ft fence privacy screen, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy duty solution for homeowners who want reliable visual privacy and weather resistance without complex installation. The reviewer found the 170 GSM virgin HDPE fabric and reinforced grommets especially compelling for outdoor use, and recommends it for anyone fitting a 5 ft fence who values durability and strong sun blockage.

Key Features

• Durable material: Made from 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE, the fabric is built to resist tearing and fading under prolonged sun exposure.
• UV stabilized: The fabric passed extended laboratory UV testing and includes a UV stabilized compound to significantly extend the lifespan outdoors.
• High privacy: The knit design delivers about 90% visibility blockage to shield yards, patios, pools and kennels from view.
• Reinforced installation: Stainless copper grommets and 3 in reinforced binding on edges make the screen easy to secure and less prone to ripping at attachment points.
• Breathable weave: The mesh allows water and air to pass through, so it reduces wind load and protects plants without trapping moisture.
• Included fixings: The screen ships with zip ties for quick mounting to chain link, wood, railings or palisade fences.

Who It's For

This fence screen suits homeowners, renters with balcony fences, and small commercial sites who want to block sight lines and reduce wind without building permanent structures. It is especially appropriate for backyard pools, patios, garden edges and pet kennels where privacy and UV resistance matter.

It is less suitable for buyers who need an exact custom width without trimming or for those who cannot confirm fence height before purchase, since a few customers reported size variations and some trimmed or doubled panels to fit. If you need solid opaque panels rather than a breathable mesh, consider a rigid privacy panel instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Heavy 170 GSM virgin HDPE feels substantially more durable than recycled alternatives.
• 90% blockage knit gives effective visual privacy while still allowing airflow.
• Stainless copper grommets and wide reinforced binding reduce tearing at attachment points.
• Easy installation with included zip ties and compatibility with multiple fence types.

Cons

• Some buyers reported the actual width varied from expectations, so measurement before install is recommended.
• The mesh is not fully opaque, so it provides privacy while retaining a fabric look rather than a solid barrier.
