SUNLAX Privacy Fence Screen 5 ft x 70 ft - Heavy Duty Mesh Privacy

In this review of the SUNLAX Privacy Fence Screen 5 ft x 70 ft, the bottom line is simple: this cover is for homeowners and renters who want a durable, high-coverage solution to block sight lines and UV on chain link fences. The tester found the 100% new HDPE material provides substantial privacy and sun protection while still allowing airflow, and the finished product installs quickly with the included grommet spacing and reinforced edges. For anyone replacing a worn screen or covering a long stretch of fence, this is a practical, heavy duty option.

Key Features

• Material Quality: Made from 100% new HDPE, the mesh feels sturdy and resists tearing while allowing wind to pass through so the fence does not act like a sail.
• Privacy Coverage: The fabric offers about 90% visible coverage and an 85%-90% shading rate, effectively blocking views from neighbors and passersby.
• UV Protection: Built-in UV resistance of about 95% helps protect plants and outdoor furniture from sun damage behind the fence.
• Reinforced Edges and Grommets: Aluminum grommets placed at 12' in the vertical direction and 24' horizontally with 1.4' reinforced binding keep the screen secured in wind and rain.
• Customizable Size and Color: The option to order custom sizes accommodates odd-length fences and the material has a tolerance of about 4 in due to elasticity.

Who It's For

This fence screen is best for homeowners, renters, and property managers who need a long, continuous privacy barrier for patios, pools, or backyard chain link fences and who value UV protection and airflow. It is especially useful in climates with wind and sun exposure where plant protection and reduced visibility are priorities.

Those who need absolute blackout screening or rigid privacy panels should look elsewhere, as this is a breathable mesh designed to balance coverage with ventilation. Also, if precise zero-tolerance sizing is required for a specialty installation, allow for the stated 4 in material tolerance when ordering custom lengths.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable HDPE fabric that provides strong visual privacy and blocks most UV rays.
• Good value for long runs of fence, with customers reporting easy installation and neat appearance.
• Reinforced binding and frequent aluminum grommets help the cover withstand wind and hold fast with zip ties or ties.

Cons

• Fit opinions are mixed; the material has a 4 in tolerance so exact sizing can require trimming or slight adjustment.
