SUNLAX Privacy Fence Screen 5ft x 80ft - Heavy Duty Mesh for Backyard

In this review of the SUNLAX Privacy Fence Screen 5' x 80' the bottom line is simple: this mesh fence cover is aimed at homeowners and renters who want reliable visual privacy and plant protection without blocking airflow. The reviewer found the 100% new HDPE material, high visible coverage and strong UV protection to be the single biggest reason to buy, since it hides neighbors and reduces sun exposure while still allowing wind to pass through for plants and pets.

Key Features

• Material & coverage: Made from 100% new HDPE, the screen offers about 90% visible coverage so spaces feel private while still ventilating.
• UV and shading protection: The mesh provides an 85%-90% shading rate and around 95% UV protection, helping to shield outdoor furniture and garden plants.
• Durable attachment points: Aluminum grommets placed every 12' vertically and 24' horizontally make it straightforward to secure the screen and resist wind stress.
• Reinforced edges: All four edges have a black reinforced 1.4' binding that prevents fraying and helps the cover hold up in adverse weather.
• Customizable sizing: The screen is available custom cut in the USA to match fence runs, with a manufacturing tolerance of about 4 in due to material elasticity.
• Low-maintenance: The mesh sheds dust and lets airflow reduce trapped moisture, which makes upkeep easy compared with solid panels.

Who It's For

This fence screen is a good fit for homeowners, renters and small-property managers who need an affordable privacy solution for chain link fences, patios, pool enclosures or backyard perimeters. It particularly suits situations where plant health and airflow matter, since the mesh blocks sun and UV while letting wind through.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking complete visual blackout or rigid privacy panels, and anyone who needs exact, millimeter-perfect dimensions - the material can have a 4 in tolerance and is designed to stretch slightly when installed.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High perceived quality from 100% new HDPE and reinforced bindings that resist wear.

• Grommet spacing and built-in bindings make installation secure and durable even in wind-prone areas.

Cons

• Not a full blackout screen - coverage is around 90%, so some light and silhouettes may show through.
• Size tolerance of about 4 in means exact-fit installations may require trimming or overlap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this completely block my neighbors view?
The screen provides about 90% visible coverage, which substantially reduces sightlines but does not create a true blackout; silhouettes and some light may still be visible.

How is the screen attached to a fence?
Use the aluminum grommets spaced 12' vertically and 24' horizontally with zip ties or ties through the grommets; reinforced bindings help prevent tears at attachment points.

Can I order a different size or color?
Yes, the product offers customizable sizes made in the USA, though expect a manufacturing tolerance of about 4 in due to material elasticity.
