After installing if you look into the property from the left side you can see inside but look in through the right side, no gaps and total privacy.

I put up a new gate and wanted a bit of privacy so the multitude of sins in my side yard wouldn't be visible to the whole street. It's only 80% coverage because the chain link is large, but I think it still looks nice and provides enough privacy at a casual glance to satisfy me.

Installation went faster and easier than expected. The slats were a couple inches too long. If I had been smart, I would have cut the first slat to fit the gate and then cut the rest of the slats to that size prior to installing them. However, I paid more heed to my brawn than my brain that day, so I installed them all and then trimmed after the fact. Not as tidy as it could have been, but c'est la vie.

good product ,hope they hold up for years to come . a lot easier to install than I figured they would be !!

This product is a very sturdy privacy fencing. Well made. It was delivered pretty quickly and we installed easily. Alot of the reviews do not do this product justice. It is durable and very easy to install. So far it has withstood high strong winds and I will update after winter to give review on how well it holds up. Video and or pictures will follow. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for good quality privacy fencing.

So I've never been a huge fan of these as I tend to think they look kinda cheesy and cheap...but so do chain link fences in my opinion. I decided to take a chance so I could gain a little privacy from our neighbors and keep our dog from barking at them...the chain link fence isn't going anywhere so might as well embrace it. I also have flower beds along this fence that tend to fade into the back ground of their yard so I'm excited to see all my plants pop against the more solid fence look.

I almost cheaped out and went with ones that were half the price but I'm glad I didnt. These aren't cheap, but well worth it. They are wide enough to fill the whole space available for each slat. Obviously the joint where it's all connected leaves a little open strip but that's it. When looking straight on you can still see through but it gives decent privacy. The slats are well made and sturdy and easy to install, the don't bend easily and that helps you get them pushed all the way down. As others mentioned, I also didn't use the bottom channel, it's not really needed unless you want that extra inch of coverage at the bottom. The slats are tight when in place and won't move easy so the locking channel isn't needed in my fence to keep them in place so just opted to eliminate that step. I kept them just in case for some reason they get lose, easy to add on later if needed.

I attached some photos of the end result looking straight on. But also just the first test panel I did. You can see that looking at them from the left you can see through pretty easy, maybe 65% coverage. Straight on privacy goes up to about 90%. But looking from the right it's 100%. It's kinda like a blind slat just depends on the angle how much you can see through. The slats sit at a slight angle when inserted but that's just the natural angle created by the chain link. Nothing you can do about it but overall I'm very happy with the result and the product. I'm glad I spent more to get a good quality product that offers as much coverage as possible. Time will tell if the fade in the sun, hopefully not. But I'm really happy with how this turned out and love the added privacy!

Oh and I'd suggest to measure your panels. I ordered one pkg to test before spending a bunch to do the whole fence. I wanted to make sure I liked it first. Anyway the test section I did used one whole package. So I just counted the remaining panels (8) and ordered more... easy right!? Lol Well each section isn't exactly the same width. I currently have a whole package left...I still have more to do as I work my way up the driveway so they'll get used. But one package does about 10' maybe a few inches more. So I'll be measuring each remaining section so I don't buy more than I need.

Overall great quality product, great privacy, highly recommend.
