The best privacy fences, compared.
Top pick: VOUNOT 1.8 × 10 m privacy netting, 230 g/m² – Highest score, shared at 4.6: the 1.8 m by 10 m roll at 230 g/m² has 2,536 reviews, against 87 on the shorter FB FunkyBuys roll. Best value: VOUNOT 1.8 × 10 m privacy netting, 90 g/m² – Best value at about £15.19 for the same 1.8 m by 10 m size, about £0.84 per square metre as a rule of thumb, and not the same listing as the top pick. Updated October 2026.
A privacy fence is a sheet or roll you fix to a fence, a railing or a frame. It is not a set of posts and closeboard panels. Buyers use these amazon.co.uk listings to hide gaps, screen a balcony, cover a tired panel, or block a dog's view while a hedge grows. Judge a roll by grams per square metre, metal eyelets, and whether the stated size matches the parcel. A shade percentage is the seller's light claim. Lighter cloths are often still see-through in sun. Two indoor room dividers were left out because they are not fence screening. Height, weight and the 1 m and 2 m limits are set out in the [privacy fence buying guide](/hub/fencing-and-wire/privacy-fence/sub/privacy-fence-buying-guide). Solid timber panels, concrete gravel boards and those room dividers stay outside this page.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What height did you measure?
VOUNOT's 230 g/m² roll is 1.8 m by 10 m of green HDPE at about £27.54, with 4.6 from 2,536 amazon.co.uk reviews. That is the densest stated cloth in this set, and the listing claims up to 95% shading. Reviews say a single layer is nearly opaque, while a bright background can still show through unless you double the cloth, so 95% is not a blackout. The parcel is listed at 4.69 kg, with aluminium grommets and cable ties; the tie count is not stated. The spec table says aluminum, which matches the grommets, while the bullets say HDPE for the cloth. About £1.53 per square metre is the rule of thumb from the shelf price, against about £0.84 for the 90 g/m² twin. It is the top pick for a garden run when you want the heavier screen, and the wrong spend for a bin or a 1 m rail.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are covering a 1.8 m garden run and you want the densest stated cloth in this set.
Less suitable: The job is a short gate, a 1 m rail, or a place where a lighter see-through layer is enough.
Specifications
Common questions
What density does this VOUNOT roll claim?
230 g/m² HDPE and a shading value of up to 95%, on a 1.8 m by 10 m green roll. Both figures are the listing's claims.
Why does the spec table say aluminum?
The raw spec line Material type: Aluminum sits next to bullets that say HDPE fabric and aluminium grommets. The cloth claim is HDPE. The metal is the grommets.
Is 95% the same as a solid fence?
The listing says up to 95% shading. Reviews say a single layer is nearly opaque and that a bright background can still show through unless the cloth is doubled.
The heavier FB FunkyBuys roll is the same 1 m by 10 m green size at 150 g/m², about £16.61, with 4.6 from 87 amazon.co.uk reviews. The package weight is 1.63 kg against 990 g on the 90 g/m² twin, which is the practical difference when both titles look alike. No shade percentage is printed. Reviewers still mention cable ties and clips, and tie length is a common complaint; some add a staple gun on trellis. Eighty-seven ratings is a thinner sample than the VOUNOT rolls, which have thousands. The star line matches the 230 g/m² VOUNOT, but the cloth is a metre shorter and the review count is not in the same league. Buy it when 1 m is the right height and you want more grams than the 90 g/m² FunkyBuys.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured a 1 m run and you want the heavier FunkyBuys cloth rather than the 90 g/m² twin.
Less suitable: Your fence is 1.8 m, or you want thousands of reviews on a stated shade claim.
Specifications
Common questions
What size and weight is this FunkyBuys roll?
The title states 1 m by 10 m, green, 150 g/m². The package weight in the listing is 1.63 kg. No shade percentage is stated.
Can it be used on a balcony?
The title lists balcony and patio as uses, alongside garden screening and windbreak.
Does it include fixings?
Reviewers mention cable ties and clips in the pack. The tie length is a common complaint. A staple gun is something buyers add themselves.
VOUNOT's 90 g/m² roll is 1.8 m by 10 m of green HDPE at about £15.19, with 4.5 from 2,479 amazon.co.uk reviews. That height matches a typical UK panel, and 18 m² is the largest cheap area in this set, about £0.84 per square metre as a rule of thumb from the shelf price. The listing claims up to 75% shading and includes 50 cable ties plus 22 clips. UK reviews say you can still see through a single layer, and some buyers double the cloth. The parcel is listed at 1.98 kg, which is light for 18 m², so this is the breathable screen rather than the dense one. It is the best value when a lighter cloth is acceptable, and the wrong roll if you already know a 90 g/m² layer looks transparent in the sun where you stand.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the large garden run at the lowest price in this set and you accept a lighter, see-through cloth.
Less suitable: You need the denser screen, or your fence is only about 1 m high.
Specifications
Common questions
What shade and weight does VOUNOT state?
The listing states 90 g/m² HDPE and a shading value of up to 75%. That is the manufacturer's figure, not a lab test in this file.
What is in the pack?
50 cable ties and 22 clips, plus the 1.8 m by 10 m green net.
Will one layer block a view?
The listing claims 75% shading. UK reviews in the saved listing say you can still see through, and some buyers double the cloth.
The Amazon Basics screen covers about 0.91 m by 3.05 m, the 3 by 10 feet printed on the listing, at about £13.29 with 4.4 from 325 amazon.co.uk reviews. At 175 g/m² it is denser than the 90 g/m² garden rolls, but the piece is only bin or gate height, so it will not cover a 1.8 m panel on its own. Reviewers use the 20 included 300 mm cable ties on a gate, and the listing also names balconies, including a caravan balcony in one review theme. Those reviews also say it is not a blackout. No shade percentage is stated, only that the cloth reduces visibility and still lets some air and light through. Aluminium grommets run on all sides, and the listed weight is about 594 g. It is a short screen for a gap you can measure, and a poor match if you needed a 10 m garden run.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a short screen for a gate, a bin store or a low rail, and you can live with daylight through the cloth.
Less suitable: You are covering a 1.8 m panel or a run of about 10 m.
Specifications
Common questions
How big is the Amazon Basics screen?
The listing says 3 by 10 feet, and the dimension line is 91.44 by 304.8 cm. Height is about 0.91 m and length about 3.05 m.
What fabric weight is stated?
175 g/m² HDPE. No shade percentage is stated. The bullets say it significantly reduces visibility and allows some air and light.
What fixings are included?
20 cable ties, 12 inches (300 mm) long, and aluminium grommets on all sides.
FB FunkyBuys sells a 1 m by 10 m green roll at 90 g/m² for about £15.66, with 4.4 from 129 amazon.co.uk reviews. A 1 m height will not cover a 1.8 m panel; it suits a low run, a rail, or the bottom of a fence. No shade percentage is stated. Reviewers say the included clips are awkward and the supplied ties are too short for wooden slats, so they bring their own longer cable ties. The package is listed at 990 g. The saved listings share a hero image URL with the 150 g/m² twin, so you should check the grams in the title before you order. It is a long, low strip at a similar price to much taller cloth, which only pays if 1 m is the height you measured.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Your measured height is about 1 m and you will supply longer ties for timber.
Less suitable: You need to cover a 1.8 m panel or you wanted a stated shade percentage.
Specifications
Common questions
How is this different from the other FunkyBuys roll?
This ASIN is the 90 g/m², 1 m by 10 m green roll at about £15.66, package 990 g, 4.4 from 129 ratings. The other FunkyBuys listing is the 150 g/m² roll at about £16.61, package 1.63 kg, 4.6 from 87 ratings. The saved listings use the same hero image URL.
Is a shade percentage stated?
No. The title states 90 g/m², green, 1 m by 10 m.
Will the included clips fit a wooden fence?
Reviewers say the clips are awkward and the supplied ties are too short for wooden slats. They use their own cable ties.
AGJIDSO's artificial ivy is a 3 m by 1 m plastic leaf roll at about £21.99, with 4.3 from 571 amazon.co.uk reviews. It is not a shade net: there is no grams-per-square-metre figure and no shade percentage. You clip the pieces together and use the 100 cable ties, and the listing includes spare leaves. At 1.1 kg and 3 m² it covers one low panel face, not an 18 m² garden run. Reviews include both a successful outdoor fit and a complaint that it feels flimsy outside, which matches leaves that can lift in wind. The listing says the leaves do not fade, without a UV percentage. Choose it when you want a planted look on a sound panel, and skip it as the only screen if you need to block outlines in the sun.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a green face on a sound panel about 1 m high and you accept gaps between the leaves.
Less suitable: The job is to block a view along a garden run, or the panel is 1.8 m tall.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a shade net?
No. It is a 3 m by 1 m artificial hedge roll in plastic, with interlocking pieces and 100 cable ties. No grams per square metre or shade rate is stated.
How is it fixed?
The listing says interlocking connectors and 100 cable ties, for a fence or a wooden frame. Assembly is required.
Is it for outdoor use?
The listing says garden, balcony and outdoor use, and claims the leaves do not fade. Reviews include both a successful outdoor fitting and a complaint that it feels flimsy outside.
Esilihom lists a 1.5 m by 10 m HDPE screen at 110 g/m² for about £24.99, with 4.3 from 37 amazon.co.uk reviews. The height sits between the 1 m FunkyBuys rolls and the 1.8 m VOUNOT rolls, so it can cover a mid rail and still leave a gap on a full 1.8 m fence. The page claims an 85% UV block and does not state a visibility or shade percentage, and the colour field is empty. You get 100 cable ties and pre-punched holes; the listing does not include a drill. At 3.9 kg the parcel is heavier than the 90 g/m² VOUNOT, with far fewer ratings. It is a mid-height option when 1.5 m is what you measured, and a weak default if you are choosing by review volume or by a printed privacy percentage.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured about 1.5 m over 10 m and you will tie every pre-punched hole.
Less suitable: You need 1.8 m coverage, a large review sample, or a printed shade percentage.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this privacy netting for outdoor fences?
The listing describes a 1.5 m by 10 m garden fence screen and windbreak in 110 g/m² HDPE, with 100 cable ties. It is not an indoor room divider.
Does the listing state a shade percentage?
No. It states an 85% UV block claim and 110 g/m² HDPE. It does not state a visibility or shade percentage.
Are tools required?
The listing supplies cable ties and pre-punched holes. It does not include a drill or a staple gun.
The black Yolizor listing uses the same 2 m by 10 m title at about £28.99, with 4.1 from 25 amazon.co.uk reviews. Model Yolizor03200007 is printed, the listed weight is 2.14 kg, and again there is no grams per square metre and no shade percentage. The spec line says 2 by 2 by 2 cm, which is the packed-size conflict, not the open cloth. Reviews are mixed: some say it adds privacy and would need a second layer to block the view. Grommets are described about every metre, with ropes or ties in the bullets. At this price you are near the 230 g/m² VOUNOT without its review count or a stated fabric weight. Buy it only after the variation's length is confirmed on amazon.co.uk.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want black, you have checked the variation length, and a second layer is acceptable.
Less suitable: You want a stated 230 g/m² cloth with thousands of reviews, or you cannot confirm the metre length.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the listing specify?
The title says 2 m by 10 m privacy fence screening, black. The spec line names Yolizor, model Yolizor03200007. No grams per square metre and no shade percentage. Listed weight 2.14 kg.
Is the packed size 2 cm?
The raw spec line says 2 by 2 by 2 cm. That cannot be the open screen. Use the title size and check the amazon.co.uk variation.
Do reviewers find it private?
Mixed. Some say it adds privacy and would need a second layer to block the view. The rating is 4.1 from 25 ratings.
SHYICHENG lists a black 2 m by 5 m HDPE screen at about £19.99 with 4.0 from 26 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets claim 90% of visibility and sunlight, and the cloth weighs 1.33 kg, but grams per square metre are not stated. Aluminium grommets sit about every metre, with ropes and ties included. UK reviews say the cloth was still fairly transparent and would need a second layer, so the 90% line stays a listing claim. One reviewer used it to cut wind on a balcony. Twenty-six ratings is a small sample next to the VOUNOT rolls. A 2 m height is only useful if you are allowed to put a screen that tall on that boundary.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a 5 m run, you have checked that 2 m is allowed there, and you will add a second layer if sun shows through.
Less suitable: You wanted a stated fabric weight, a 10 m length, or a large review sample.
Specifications
Common questions
What size and shade claim is this?
2 m by 5 m black HDPE. The bullets say 90% of visibility and sunlight. Weight is 1.33 kg. Grams per square metre are not stated.
Does it include ropes?
Yes. Pre-attached aluminium grommets about every metre, plus ropes and ties.
Is the 90% claim treated as measured?
No. It is the listing text. UK reviews in the saved listing say the cloth was still fairly transparent and would need a second layer.
Yolizor's green listing is titled 2 m by 10 m at about £27.99, with 3.4 from 21 amazon.co.uk reviews, the weakest star line in this set. The technical box prints 2 by 2 by 2 cm and 2.02 kg, which cannot be the open screen, and several UK reviews describe a 2 by 5 m piece. No grams per square metre and no shade percentage are stated. Reviews mention see-through cloth and weak ties. The bullets say the cloth blocks most outside views and still lets air and water through, and that no tools are required. Do not price it per square metre until you have measured the parcel. Leave it unless you can confirm the length on the amazon.co.uk variation you are actually buying.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured this exact variation and you will replace the weak ties.
Less suitable: You need a reliable 10 m length, or you are comparing price per square metre before the parcel arrives.
Specifications
Common questions
What size does the listing claim?
The title says 2 m by 10 m, green. The spec line 2 by 2 by 2 cm and 2.02 kg does not match that title. Several UK reviews describe a 2 by 5 m piece. Confirm the variation on amazon.co.uk before you rely on the length.
Is a shade rate stated?
No numeric shade rate. The bullets say the cloth blocks most outside views and still lets air and water through.
Why is the star rating lower than the other rolls?
The listing shows 3.4 out of 5 from 21 ratings. Reviews mention see-through cloth and weak ties.
Ten amazon.co.uk privacy-screen listings were scored as the star rating multiplied by 20, rounded to a whole number. That figure is the whole score. Review volume, a missing fabric weight and a size conflict are written in the assessment. They do not change the number. Where two listings share 4.6, the top pick is the 1.8 m by 10 m roll at 230 g/m² with 2,536 reviews. The 1 m roll with 87 reviews stays unbadged. Best value is a separate note for the 90 g/m² twin at about £15.19, not a second score. Prices are the shelf figures stored for this set. This is not a laboratory test.
Amazon star rating
100%The stored score is the amazon.co.uk star rating multiplied by 20. A 4.6 becomes 92 and a 3.4 becomes 68. Review volume, missing grams per square metre and a size conflict stay in the written assessment. They are not a hidden second score.
A privacy fence on this page is a roll or a leaf mat, not a new fence on posts. The ten amazon.co.uk listings run from about £13.29 to about £28.99. The useful checks are the height you measured, grams per square metre, and whether the parcel agrees with the title. A printed shade percentage is the seller's light claim. Star ratings run from 3.4 to 4.6. Two listings share 4.6, and only the denser garden-run roll is the top pick. This is not a laboratory test.
A privacy fence product in this comparison is a sheet or roll you fix to a fence, a railing or a frame. It is not posts and closeboard panels. Buyers use it to hide gaps, screen a balcony, cover a tired panel, or block a dog's view while a hedge grows. Two indoor room dividers were dropped because they are not fence screening. Solid timber panels, concrete gravel boards and those room dividers stay outside this page.
75%, 90% and 95% are listing claims. The 90 g/m² VOUNOT still looks see-through to reviewers. The 230 g/m² roll is described as nearly opaque, and a bright background can still show. Yolizor copy says outlines can show in strong sun. None of those figures was lab-tested here.
Both FB FunkyBuys rolls and the AGJIDSO leaf mat are 1 m high. The Amazon Basics screen is about 0.91 m. Esilihom is 1.5 m and still leaves the top of a 1.8 m panel open. Measure the panel before you order a long, low strip.
Both Yolizor titles say 2 m by 10 m. The technical box prints 2 by 2 by 2 cm, and many UK reviews describe 2 by 5 m. Do not price those listings per square metre until you have measured the cloth. Fixing a fence you may not own is a separate mistake.
Height and length decide whether the roll covers the run you measured. About 0.91 m by 3.05 m, the Amazon Basics screen, hides a bin or a gate. A 1 m height, both FB FunkyBuys rolls, does not cover a 1.8 m panel on its own. It suits a low run, a rail, or the bottom of a fence. A 1.5 m by 10 m roll, Esilihom, sits in between and still leaves the top of a 1.8 m panel open. A 1.8 m by 10 m roll, both VOUNOT cloths, is the garden-run size in this set.
Fabric weight is the second check, and it is a listing figure, not a lab result. Printed weights here are 90, 110, 150, 175 and 230 g/m². The VOUNOT 230 g/m² roll is the densest stated cloth. The VOUNOT 90 g/m² twin and the FB FunkyBuys 90 g/m² roll are the light end, which buyers leave when a single layer looks see-through. Amazon Basics states 175 g/m² on a short piece.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are covering gaps or a tired panel at about 1.8 m, and you want the densest stated cloth in this set. The VOUNOT 230 g/m² roll is 1.8 m by 10 m at about £27.54, with 4.6 from 2,536 reviews. A bright background can still show through one layer.
You want 18 m² at the lowest price in this set and you can live with a lighter cloth. The VOUNOT 90 g/m² roll is the same 1.8 m by 10 m at about £15.19, with 4.5 from 2,479 reviews. Reviewers still see through one layer, and some double the cloth.
You measured about 0.91 m by 3.05 m, not a 10 m garden run. The Amazon Basics screen is 175 g/m² at about £13.29, with 4.4 from 325 reviews and 20 cable ties. It will not cover a 1.8 m panel, and a light sheet is not a kennel panel.
The top pick is the VOUNOT 1.8 m by 10 m roll at 230 g/m², about £27.54. It shares 4.6 stars with the FB FunkyBuys 150 g/m² roll. The award goes here because the sample is 2,536 reviews and the cloth is the densest stated weight on a garden-run size. Reviews still say a bright background can show through, so 95% is a listing claim, not a blackout. The best value is the VOUNOT 90 g/m² twin at about £15.19, about £0.84 per square metre as a rule of thumb from the shelf price, against about £1.53 for the heavier roll. Reviewers still see through one layer of that lighter cloth.
VOUNOT 1.8 × 10 m privacy netting, 230 g/m²
Highest score, shared at 4.6: the 1.8 m by 10 m roll at 230 g/m² has 2,536 reviews, against 87 on the shorter FB FunkyBuys roll.
VOUNOT 1.8 × 10 m privacy netting, 90 g/m²
Best value at about £15.19 for the same 1.8 m by 10 m size, about £0.84 per square metre as a rule of thumb, and not the same listing as the top pick.
