ShadeMart 5 ft x 39 ft Fence Privacy Screen - Heavy Duty 170 GSM

In this review the ShadeMart 5 ft x 39 ft fence privacy screen is evaluated for homeowners and renters who need a durable, high-blockage solution for backyard, balcony or poolside privacy. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of tough 170 GSM virgin HDPE construction and a knit pattern that delivers about 90% visibility blockage, so it hides views without feeling claustrophobic. The reviewer found it straightforward to fit to standard 5 ft fences and noted the extra grommets and reinforced binding make installation and long-term wear noticeably better than thinner alternatives.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: Heavy, non-recycled material resists tearing and stands up to sun exposure for extended outdoor use.
• UV stabilized compound: Fabric was treated and lab tested to reduce drying, fading and degradation under prolonged sun.
• 90% visibility blockage: The knit design provides strong privacy for yards, patios and balconies while still allowing air to pass.
• Reinforced edges and extra grommets: Black 3 in binding with stainless copper grommets at corners improves attachment security and reduces stress on the fabric.
• Includes zip ties: Simple hardware makes the screen easy to mount on chain link, wood or railings without special tools.

Who It's For

This screen suits homeowners, condo residents and gardeners who want a reliable privacy barrier that also blocks wind and sun for pools, patios, vegetable areas or pet pens. People who value a heavy-duty fabric and corrosion-resistant grommets will appreciate the longer lifespan promised by the UV treatment and non-recycled HDPE.

Those who need a custom-fitted or decorative fence covering, or who require a transparent view, should look elsewhere; the ShadeMart is designed first for visual blockage and protection rather than ornamental screening.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High quality 170 GSM virgin HDPE feels durable and resists tearing under wind load.
