ZIP Cable Ties and Green 3ft x 55ft Balcony Deck Fence Privacy Screen

Our review of this green balcony and fence privacy screen finds it best for homeowners and renters who need a quick, durable way to add privacy and shade to decks, patios, pools and chain link fences. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy-duty, 165 GSM fabric with reinforced black binding and brass grommets that make installation fast and reliable while providing roughly 90% sun blockage and UV protection. Installation with zip/cable ties is straightforward and the permeable weave lets breeze through while screening direct sun.

Key Features

• Reinforced edges: All four edges have black binding and short, dense stitching that increases tear resistance and helps the panel last under outdoor stress.
• Brass grommets: Corrosion-resistant brass grommets provide strong anchor points so the screen stays secure in wind and weather.
• High UV blockage: The 165 GSM fabric blocks about 90% of sunlight to reduce heat and provide a private space on balconies and patios.
• Multiple uses: It works as a privacy screen, shade cloth for dog kennels, driveway or walkway shade, and covers for pool or playground fencing.
• Easy installation: The panel installs in minutes using standard zip or cable ties and pre-set grommets for a neat, tight fit.
• Custom sizing: Custom sizes are available within the stated height and length limits for nonstandard openings.

Who It's For

This privacy screen is ideal for people who want a sturdy, low-maintenance solution to screen unsightly views and reduce sun exposure on a balcony or deck. It suits owners of chain link fences, pool surrounds, porches, and dog kennels who value quick installation and durable materials.

It is less suited to customers who need absolute opaque privacy or a decorative, patterned fabric; some buyers reported the appearance and thickness were mixed, and in very close range the weave can be slightly see-through. For an ornamental fence or complete visual blackout, consider a thicker, solid panel instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the screen attached?
Use zip or cable ties through the brass grommets to secure the panel to fences, railings or posts.

Will it block sunlight completely?
The fabric blocks about 90% of direct sun and reduces heat, but the weave is permeable so it is not a 100% opaque blackout.

Can I order a custom size?
Yes, custom sizes are available as long as the height is within 24 ft and the length within 500 ft; contact the seller for exact measurements.
