Product description of the manufacturer
The PREMIUM privacy screen strips from the HOLZBRINK brand are privacy screens for garden fences .
Manufactured in the EU from high-quality, durable polypropylene, these privacy protection strips impress with their exceptional stability and durability. Compared to conventional PVC strips, the material is significantly more impact-resistant, remains flexible even at low temperatures and does not stress the fence construction.
The weatherproof material defies even extreme weather conditions – neither UV radiation, heat nor frost can harm it. It does not deform, does not fade and retains its shape permanently without tearing or breaking.
An effective privacy screen for gardens, terraces, balconies, company premises or storage areas. At the same time, the privacy strip reduces the noise level from outside and acts as an effective wind barrier. The polypropylene used is environmentally friendly and fully recyclable.
Thanks to easy handling and flexible design options, individual colour combinations and patterns can be created. One roll contains 26 metres of material and is enough for ten strips, each 25.3 centimetres high – ideal for creative fence design with practical benefits.

- Durable polypropylene
- Weatherproof and effective privacy screen

The even, minimally roughened surface is noticeable from the very first contact with the roller. This structure suggests that minor soiling can be easily removed as hardly any dirt adheres to the surface.
The tested rigid PVC roll comes in a rich, dark anthracite colour that looks almost black and blends harmoniously into the garden environment. With its thickness, the material appears robust and flexible at the same time – it has the necessary rigidity without sacrificing flexibility.
The first overall impression is consistently positive.
The strips can be cut to the exact millimetre if required, which makes the product particularly versatile in use.

The PREMIUM privacy strips from the HOLBZRINK brand were subjected to a comprehensive practical test .
One positive aspect to emphasise is that the material can be easily cut to size with scissors so that the length can be optimally adapted to the fence length.
The step-by-step instructions clearly show the installation process. Installation is generally very easy and takes very little time.
In terms of resistance to water, it has been established that the material is water-repellent. Liquids roll off the surface.
Even in windy conditions, the privacy screen strips are very stable and there are no problems whatsoever.
After installing the privacy strips, it was found that the material is completely opaque and therefore shields your own garden well from outside views.
In the practical test, this product was particularly impressive due to its attractive design, ease of installation and good adaptability to various garden fences as well as its stability.
