ShadeMart 5 ft x 86 ft Fence Privacy Screen Black - Heavy Duty 170 GSM

In this review the ShadeMart 5 ft x 86 ft fence privacy screen is assessed for homeowners and renters who need a durable, high-coverage solution for fence privacy. The bottom line: this is a practical, heavy duty shade net that delivers strong visual blockage and UV resistance for outdoor areas. Its main selling point is the 170 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated for UV stability, which is why anyone wanting long-lasting privacy panels for a balcony, yard, pool area or pet pen should consider it.

Key Features

• 170 GSM virgin HDPE: thick, non-recycled fabric offers greater tear resistance and a sturdy feel compared with thinner fence screens.
• UV stabilized compound: laboratory-tested for prolonged sun exposure to reduce drying, fading and degradation over time.
• 90% visibility blockage: dense knit construction provides substantial privacy without making the space feel closed in.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: heavy binding with stainless copper grommets at corners and along edges makes fixing to fences straightforward and secure.
• Easy installation: includes zip ties and is compatible with wire, chain link, wooden palisade and railing installations for quick attachment.
• Breathable and water resistant: woven structure allows air and water through, helping plants and reducing wind load on the fabric.

Who It's For

This privacy screen is aimed at homeowners, renters and property managers who need a robust, long-lived cover for a 5 ft high fence around patios, pools, balconies, gardens or pet enclosures. It fits standard 5 footer fences and is especially useful where sun exposure is high and UV durability matters.

Those looking for precise custom widths or a fully opaque barrier should check measurements carefully or consider other products; some users note size variance, so double-checking actual fence dimensions before purchase is advisable.
