SUNLAX Custom Size 2ft 6inx18ft Black Fence Privacy Screen - Heavy

In this review of the SUNLAX Custom Size 2'6"x18' Black Fence Covering Privacy Screen, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy duty solution for anyone who needs near-total visual screening on chain link fences, balconies, or pool enclosures. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of custom sizing and substantial 85%-90% shading that delivers real privacy while resisting sun damage, making it suitable for both residential and commercial projects where a tailored fit and durability matter.

Key Features

• Custom-made fit: Can be cut to match unique fence or balcony dimensions so the screen fits tidy and minimizes gaps.
• High density material: Constructed from 100% new HDPE for consistent strength and a shading rate of about 85%-90%, which blocks views effectively.
• UV protection: Built-in 95% UV protection helps the screen resist sun damage and maintain appearance over time.
• Reinforced edges and grommets: Aluminum grommets spaced roughly 19.68 in apart and bound edges reduce tearing and help the screen stay secured in wind.
• Easy install: Zip ties are included so the screen can be attached and removed without tools for a quick setup.
• Multiple uses: Works for chain link fences, balconies, patios, pool areas and other outdoor privacy needs.

Who It's For

This privacy screen is best for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who need a near-opaque visual barrier on fences or balcony railings between roughly 2.6 ft and 3.3 ft tall and for runs that can be custom cut to length. It is especially useful for third-floor balconies and urban patios where blocking street views and reducing passersby visibility matters.

Those who should look elsewhere are buyers who need a decorative fence panel with ornate patterns or rigid panels that do not flex; this product is a flexible fabric-like screen that prioritizes privacy and wind performance rather than trim aesthetics or a hard-panel feel.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective privacy with an 85%-90% shading rate that keeps neighbors and street views out.
• Durable HDPE material and 95% UV protection for longer life in sun-exposed locations.
• Grommets and reinforced edges provide secure anchoring and better wind resistance.
• Included zip ties make installation fast and tool-free for most users.

Cons

• Zip ties included may be shorter than some users prefer for larger mesh fences, requiring replacement with longer ties in some cases.
• The elastic tolerance of about 4 in means exact height matching can require careful measuring and trimming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be trimmed to fit odd widths?
Yes, the product is designed to be custom-made and can be cut to fit unique dimensions; expect about a 4 in tolerance because of material elasticity.

Are the grommets rust resistant?
The grommets are made of rust-proof aluminum to help prevent corrosion in outdoor use.

Are zip ties strong enough for windy locations?
Zip ties are included for easy installation and generally work well, though some users may prefer longer or heavier-duty ties for large or high-wind installations.
