Wave Slat (9 Colors) Single Wall Bottom Locking Privacy Slat for 4', 5', 6', 7' and 8' Chain Link Fence (6 ft, Green)

I purchased the Grey 5 boxes of the 4 foot slats(our fence is 11 gage - 2 1/4” diamond slat size) I called and verified with the company that installed our fence 8 yrs ago, the gage / diamond size b4 purchasing. They offered to have me buy their vendors privacy slats and install for about $1000. To install a privacy vinyl privacy fence they quoted $14k. No thanks… including s&h of $60 UPS( which I checked and that is what USPS charges for 31 lbs from vendor to my location) this cost $299. WAY cheaper…We were trying to cover one side of our fence due to neighbor not cleaning up their yard, and wanted privacy from their dogs/mess. My husband said it was my project, and I did it all by myself (girl power..lol) I’m not mechanically inclined, and it took me about 6 hours over 2 days to complete it start to finish. My suggestion is have a small stool to sit on/scissors/butter knife/ U shaped stakes ( you can buy on Amazon also - once your finished you need to secure the fence to the ground- per our fence professional) so I bought those and for every 10 feet used 3 stakes. That way if you have high winds, the weight adding the stakes will not topple over your fence. I first put the bottom pieces on, then put all the slats in place (using one box at a time) and while sitting on the stool used the butter knife to open up the bottom piece wide enough to push the slat down and lock into place. I had the best luck pulling the bottom piece lip toward me and then getting the slat to lock into place. It’s time consuming, but take your time and you’ll get the hang of it. When I was finished, I went back over the top of each slat pushed down gently to make sure each slat was“ locked in place” then put my stakes in the ground. A few times I had to push back a metal twist piece to get the slat to drop down into the diamond, but they are pretty simple to do. I did trim 2 pieces at the start and end of the fence to not leave any openings. Overall, it looks really nice and the slats are really nice quality. Arrived within a week of ordering. Really impressed myself, didn’t ask for husband’s help at all, and he was impressed I did it all on my own, and how nice and private it looks. Would highly recommend. Hope my tips helps others when start this process. June 2023 update- slats held up so well this past year decided to finish the rest of chain link fence with more slats, and installed privacy fence on one side to give complete privacy from neighbors. Very happy. Ordered 2 more boxes, only needed 1 to finish project. Refund simple and easy, they must have updated their policies. No return restock / shipping fees, and said no return of the extra box required but giving full refund of unopened box. Awesome company. Thanks!

Nice product easy to install. Suggest they put some cardboard in the mailing package to keep from getting bent. Thankfully none were but easy to see how they could have been. Some stiff cardboard would prevent it.

I have 80ft of 6ft chainlink fence across the back of my yard; I wanted privacy because of our pool. While the slats offered less privacy than the wood fence we had, we like the slats, they just look better. I ordered and installed 20 ft at a time while removing the old fence--the chainlink was behind it. After installing 50ft, I went to order more and Amazon was out of stock with a message stating, Amazon did not know when they would be back in stock. I ordered only 10ft of "Rigid Slats" from Slats Depot because I was worried about the color matching; close enough. The issue is, the Slats Depot, slats are of lesser gauge; that is, thinner. I thought about sending them back but would have to pay shipping so I kept them. I logged on to Amazon to check available of these preferred slats and they had them. I ordered the last 20ft I needed. For the 85 cents difference is cost in consideration of shipping cost. These slats are much better. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because of cost. they all cost too much For me $55.00 shipping included would be a more competitive price. I neighbor asked about them; he liked them. He thought they were too expensive. I am happy with the purchase, it was the best option for me.

We bought this to limit the view for our dogs and the neighbors' dog. It did that and had an additional bonus as a privacy screen for us when we are in our pool or they are in their pool. The slats slide easily vertically, but if your fence is a little messed up, like if you hit it with the mower wheels too much, you have to manipulate them a little. We installed them along the side in under an hour. Would have been shorter if we didn't have the bushes to work around. We were not able to get the track in the bottom of the fence and it still held up when the dogs sniffed each other through it. We did not use any zip ties or anything else to install.

Exactly as described, easy to use, seems to handle our high winds well, provides both visibility and privacy, not too thick as to be unwieldy or inflexible but not too thin as to be completely flimsy. We didn’t use the bottom frame for them to clip into/rest in and it looks fine. Our fence has snags and the mesh isn’t perfectly lined up after years of being a fence and we were able to weave these guys through the iffy spots. We painted our fence a dark brown and these matched perfectly. Also, they arrived a week early! The shipping cost was actually worth having to pay.

This is a great product. The wave in the product adds strength and substance to these slats. The fit perfectly inside the fences gap from front to back and click securely into the bottom rail, so as wind blows the do not move or make a sound. We did 120 feet along the middle section of our back fence. It adds a great partial privacy screen and better visually defines the back of our property. Installations was easy, but you sliding 1 inch slats into a fence individually which takes tedious time. Where your fence may be out of shape (bent from kids climbing or the lawn mower catching), these slats still go through, but you need to reshape your fence a little so have some pliers in your pocket when installing. GREAT PRODUCT, MADE IN THE USA, AND OFFERED AT A VERY GOOD PRICE! WELL DONE!!!
