ShadeMart 5 ft x 9 ft Fence Privacy Screen Brown - Heavy Duty 170 GSM

In this review the ShadeMart 5 ft x 9 ft fence privacy screen is judged on durability, privacy performance and ease of installation; it is a straightforward option for homeowners and renters who need reliable visual screening without a permanent alteration. The single biggest reason to buy is the heavy duty 170 GSM virgin HDPE fabric treated with a UV stabilized compound, which the reviewer found gives real resistance to sun damage and keeps the weave intact over months of outdoor exposure.

Key Features

• Durable Material: The 170 GSM 100% virgin HDPE fabric held up to months of sun and wind in the reviewer's backyard, resisting tearing and fading compared with thinner recycled options.
• High Privacy: The knit design blocks about 90% of visibility, providing a consistent visual barrier for backyards, patios, balconies and pool areas.
• Easy Installation: Extra stainless grommets and included zip ties made mounting to chain link and wooden fences quick and secure without needing special tools.
• Reinforced Edges: Black 3-inch binding along the edges reduced fraying and made the screen sit flat against the fence instead of billowing in gusts.
• Breathable Weave: The fabric allows air and water through, so plants and screened areas still get ventilation while reducing wind and sun exposure.

Who It's For

The ShadeMart screen is best for homeowners, renters and condo residents who want a temporary but durable privacy solution for a 5 ft fence around a yard, balcony or pool, and for gardeners who need wind or sun protection without fully sealing a space. Its sturdy grommets and reinforced binding suit busy outdoor areas where pets or children are present.

Those who need an exact custom dimension should verify measurements before buying, since a few customers reported size variation. If you need a permanent, decorative fence rather than a utilitarian privacy screen, a rigid panel or lattice may be a better choice.
