Chain Link Fence Slats and Inserts

Chain Link fences are popular, but don't provide much in the way of privacy.  Adding chain link fence slats or inserts can create a privacy chain link fence, and there are plenty of style and colors to choose from.

 

 

Weave – Slats are inserted diagonally through the fence, creating a woven-look.  These are easy to install for the do-it-youselfer, or you can buy chain link fences with the weave already installed.  Slats are typically available in vinyl and aluminum.

 

Vertical – Like weave slats, vertical slats are narrower and install vertically in the fence.  These don't close up the fence quite as much as the weave, but still provide a decent level of privacy.  These are typically found in vinyl and come in a wide variety of colors.

 

Hedge – If you are trying to blend a chain link fence into the landscape, a hedge insert gives your fence the look of a well-groomed hedgerow.  Include some simple planting beds in front of your fence for a wonderful, natural look.
