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

Each box covers 10 feet of fence line, just as advertised. Easy to install once you get the hang of it. Do not skip the first step: install the horizontal bottom piece first as you work each section. If your fence is older and a little janky, I recommend starting in a less janky area, just to get the hang of it, and that will make it much easier to work with problem areas. I have a couple areas where old tree stumps grew through the fence, and it was fairly easy to trim the slats to work around those areas. Also, it was easy to trim the tops of the slats in areas where the growth prevented me from keeping the bottom even. I used a stool to sit on to install the bottom horizontal pieces, and for the vertical pieces I rarely had to bend down, so my back/body was not aching at the end of the day. We had the 50 foot green fence tarps on it before this. The tarps were less expensive and provide complete privacy, and these are more expensive, take longer to install, and you can see movement through them but not much else-- but these look so much nicer and "finished." If you want to do it right the first time and be happy with it for a long time, these are the way to go.

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!

Not exactly what we expected. The quality is good, and although the installation was tedious, it was straightforward. The product installed as intended, but it does not provide the level of visual privacy we anticipated. Our chain-link fence measured 2.25 inches diagonally, and based on the manufacturer’s advertising, we expected approximately 85% privacy. Instead, it looks more like a mesh barrier. While it is an improvement over a completely open chain-link fence, it does not meet our expectations.

Excellent product We did the Perimeter of our property & the driveway with these Wave Slat from Fence Source, they are Single Wall Bottom Locking Privacy 4'and 6' Chain Link Fence (Gray) they are exactly as advertised. The company was awesome to work with we ordered two different shipments, and both came in excellent shape and everything was in the shipment. Every neighbor has said how much they love the look of the chain link fence and the privacy slats. I highly recommend these, Fence Source pricing is really good for the market now days. There customer service was great when I spoke with her, we had zero issues with them. Product quality is as described, the only this I would do different if I was going to replace these in the future is I would most likely go with a two ply to block more when the sun shines on the fence you can see through it. I will attach pictures with and with out the privacy wave slats. The chain link fence we used is 6 ft. & 4’x 50 ft. 11.5- Gauge Galvanized Steel Chain Link Fence Fabric. We ordered 67 boxes for our 6’ and 30 boxes for or 4’ this did our 1 ¼ acres property. The privacy slats snaped right in to the bottom locking rail no extra tools needed, My husband said it was very easy to work with and the length is perfect, we added the bottom tension wire to our fence as well and have the top rails for our fence, some people opt out of adding these and doing so may cause your fence to sag and be a little more difficult to add the privacy slats. The only down fall as I was saying is they are thinner and when the sun shines through them you can see through, so if you are looking for complete blocking then you would want to do a darker color or go with the 2 ply. I would recommend this company and the product material they sell it was exactly what they listed in the descriptions of the product. I won't know how durable it is until we have had it for a while, will revisit this review after year to see how it holds up through rain, snow, wind and sun.

I have ordered this item several times already and was never disappointed. The slats are easy to install and it does look nice when finished. I will order some more to finish my fence line. A good product.

Very nice product, easy to install and depending on how wide the fence diamonds are, provides good privacy.

I ordered the 6ft Brown slats for my 30+ year old fence to replace the type of privacy material you have to weave through each link by hand. I have not liked this stuff since the day I spent slogging through the install. I started the project of installing the new slats by removing the old material, what a pain in the rear that was. The new slats installed and as the information stated, it was very easy and went fairly quick once I did the first few. I only ordered 2 boxes to test to see if I liked the product, I finished the 2 boxes and have ordered 4 more to finish the fence. I would highly recommend you give these a try.

I am not happy with these slats because they are very thin and flimsy. They were not inexpensive, but they are cheaply made. And the locking system doesn’t really exist; because they are so thin, they just bend when you attempt to slide them into the bottom.

Good quality and easy to install.

Good materials for my chain fence

Love ‘em easy install blocks looks-loo’s really well.

These privacy slats worked well in our chain link fence. We just covered one corner of the yard where the neighbours dog would come to tease our reactive boxer. A functional and robust product.
