ShadeMart 5ft x 111ft Fence Privacy Screen Black Heavy Duty 170 GSM

Our review of the ShadeMart 5 ft privacy screen finds it best suited for homeowners and renters who need a durable, high-coverage solution to screen yards, balconies and pool areas; the single biggest reason to buy is its heavy-duty 170 GSM virgin HDPE fabric, which is built to resist sun damage and deliver long-lasting privacy without restricting airflow. Installation is straightforward thanks to reinforced binding, multiple stainless grommets and included zip ties, and the knit design promises about 90% visual blockage for a private outdoor space.

Key Features

• Durable 170 GSM material: The 100% virgin HDPE fabric is UV stabilized and laboratory tested for extended outdoor life compared with recycled alternatives.
• Accurate 5 ft height: The screen is made to fit a 5 ft fence height so it sits neatly on standard 5 footer fences with minimal trimming.
• High privacy blockage: The knit design provides roughly 90% visibility blockage, useful for hiding roads, neighbors or construction views.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Heavy binding and multiple stainless grommets at corners and along edges make attachment secure and reduce tear points.
• Easy installation: Included zip ties and compatibility with chain link, wood palisade and railings simplify mounting and replacement.
• Breathable and multifunctional: The weave allows water and air through, making it suitable for plant protection, kennels or shade covering without trapping moisture.

Who It's For

This product is a good choice for condo and apartment residents, gardeners, or homeowners who want an affordable, durable way to add privacy to a balcony, patio, pool area or backyard. It is especially helpful where wind and sun blocking are needed while still allowing airflow for plants or pets.

Those who need exact custom widths should confirm measurements before ordering, since some customers have questioned width accuracy; anyone seeking a decorative, semi-transparent screen rather than near-complete blackout may also want to consider alternatives.
